The Society's Annual Vintage Card is released in October each year having been thoroughly reviewed by the distinguished members of the IWFS Wines Committee, which includes several Masters of Wine.  Vintage assessments are provided for key regions around the world and the Wines Committee try to ensure that regions are reviewed and assessed as to whether they are worthy for inclusion.  There has been one addition to the 2011 Vintage Card which we trust members will find of use.  A "not yet released" key has been introduced.  The aim of this is to give cardholders the opportunity to see how the latest, but not yet released vintages, of Champagne and Port are shaping up.  This will enable you to make a decision to buy up some of the better past vintages or to hang on until the newer ones are available.  Every care is taken to produce accurate ratings, but inevitably there will be exceptions.  There are always some good wines made when a vintage does not warrant a high rating and some poor wines produced in the best vintages.

The Society publishes a non-members edition of this card for non-members to purchase.  It is a very useful token gift for friends, family and colleagues and it is just the right size to include with a card or letter.  Non-members can purchase the Vintage Cards, via the International Secretariat in London, at the prices detailed below:
