The current state of our economy has people taking a hard look at ways to keep money in their pocket without having to give up on the things they love most, like their wine.  With this in mind, people are quickly discovering all the benefits of making their own top quality wines at a fraction of retail wine prices!

The friendly people at Winexpert Oshawa/Courtice think that this should be a time to celebrate and take stock of the important things in life, like spending time with friends and family. “We recognize that people are concerned about what is happening these days”, says Sarah-Beth, “but there are so many inexpensive ways to continue to enjoy the finer things in life, we just need to get creative when we’re making plans.”

Here are some suggestions on ways to get creative while spending time with friends and family that won’t break the bank. Instead of going out to an expensive Restaurant and spending hundreds of dollars on food and wine, why not have a potluck dinner party and serve your own top quality wine? Everyone brings a dish and pairs it with the appropriate personally made wine from Winexpert Oshawa/Courtice.

It’s a wonderful experience to spend a Saturday afternoon together with friends and make your own wine. With countless varieties available, groups can enjoy creating their own wines, socializing with friends, while keeping some of that hard-earned money in their pocket. It’s a great inexpensive way to add to one’s personal wine collection. But why stop there… once your wines are ready, a wine tasting event at someone’s home is the perfect and inexpensive way to celebrate your personal creations.

It’s great to create memorable experiences with friends and family.  With your own collection of top quality wines from Winexpert Oshawa/Courtice, you can “have your wine and drink it too”, at a fraction of retail wine prices. Cheers to that!”
