 The drinking of fine wines should be an integral part of today's trend toward gracious living. The purpose of Bacchus - The Minnesota Wine and Food Society is to inform and to guide our members so that we might better appreciate wine as a companion to fine foods and by itself. Through a familiarity with wine will come much pleasure and enjoyment. Membership in Bacchus - The Minnesota Wine and Food Society offers the following benefits:
BACCHUS MINNESOTA WINE AND FOOD SOCIETY BULLETIN
Our newsletter contains up-to-date news of the wine happenings throughout the world, information about our Society wine tastings, announcement of the Bacchus wines, and notice of wine activities of interest to members.
BACCHUS WINES
The Bacchus wines program allows members to purchase up to one case of each wine offered, carefully selected to represent a particular wine tasting experience. The selections represent the world's finest wines, as well as the more moderately priced vineyards.
 MEMBER DISCOUNTS
Current discounts are as follows: 10% off wines not on sale, 5% of wines on sale and 15% off wines not on sale when purchasing 3 or more cases, and 10% off any cigar purchase.
BEER TASTINGS
Approximately twice per year, we offer a variety of beer tastings of speciality beers from around the world.
OTHER TASTINGS
The Bacchus Society offers tastings consisting of scotch, bourbon, armangac, port, and other liquor varieties throughout the year.
 DINNERS
Bacchus sponsors gourmet dinners every year at the Twin Cities' finest restaurants.
WINE TASTINGS
We arrange frequent wine tastings by renowned world experts and by our staff of trained wine authorities. These tastings have a minimum charge to defray the actual cost, depending on the types of wines and the location of the tasting. Also, special 'Collectors' tastings are arranged periodically to offer advanced study of very special wines in a smaller, more intimate setting. Over ten of these events are scheduled per year.
 WINE TOURS
Trips to wineries in California, New York, and Europe are scheduled for our members only. These trips are offered at a minimum charge based on the actual cost at a group rate.
ADDITIONAL BENEFITS
Bacchus members are offered the standard case discount on any purchase of non-sale wine from our affiliated retail outlet, Haskell's.
We offer a discount on renewal($17.50) of your Bacchus membership.
The enrollment fee of $30.00 includes the benefits, and is subject to the conditions previously described. Bacchus members are under no obligation to purchase any wine or attend any tastings or tours. However, the Bacchus wine savings can pay for the cost of membership in one month and the low cost of group events provides an excellent opportunity to embark on the wonderful world of wine and food!
