Christmas Sweet Wines Tasting from Central and Eastern Europe

InKnotts Wine is hosting a Christmas sweet wines tasting on Thursday 26 November, with the focus on bottles from Central and Eastern Europe. It's a specific corner of the wine world that doesn't often get the spotlight on a typical tasting list, so if you've spent most of your time with the usual suspects from France or Italy, this is a good chance to see what else is out there.

The evening is built around sweet wines from that region, which puts it in a different bracket from the dry whites and reds you'll find in most shops. These are the kinds of wines that sit comfortably with a cheese board or a dessert, and since it's a Christmas-themed tasting, that's exactly how they're being framed. It's less about the technical side of things and more about tasting through a selection of sweet pours from Central and Eastern Europe, one after another, so you can get a proper feel for the region's style.

If you're not usually one for sweet wines, this is a decent place to start. You'll be tasting them alongside other people rather than on your own, and the focus stays on the wines themselves rather than anything too formal. It's a tasting in the truest sense: you show up, you sip, and you see what you actually like.

It runs on Thursday 26 November at InKnotts Wine in Caythorpe, Lincoln, starting at 7:00 PM. Tickets are £35.
