Since 2024 we have gathered around a bottle engineers, scientists, enthusiasts, winemakers, storytellers. We are not sommeliers (with a few exceptions!). We are curious minds. And for us every wine is an expedition into a land, a story, a vintage that will not return.
A fellowship of curious minds, in the heart of Europe's space community. Between orbits and harvests.
Book your participation to the upcoming tastings and explore what bottles we left behind.
Selected bottles and limited edition labels. Only wines a member would bring to their own table.
Monthly articles. Terroir, science, people. Slow words in a fast world.
Thirty-six thousand bottles in a little over three months, from Strevi to Monforte d'Alba to Cortona. Forklifts put back in place, alarms switched off, two lorries of Solaia driven out of Tuscany. How the new cellar thieves work, where the loot goes, and how not to end up drinking the evidence. Four interactive figures.
Twenty-five regions, twenty-five years, six hundred and twenty-five harvests. Where the year on the label is half the decision, where it barely matters, and why the scores keep drifting upward.
France's hottest day on record, hail taking ninety per cent of the crop in Alto Piemonte, and both Italy and France giving up on forecasting the harvest. What the data says and what growers are doing about it.
We don't chase ratings, nor the shelves of luxury cellars. Yet we appreciate quality and we seek conversations that begin with a cork and end hours later.
The Wine Club was founded in 2024 with a simple idea: bring people together through wine. What began as a shared curiosity among colleagues has evolved into a space where bottles become conversations, and conversations become connections.
Wine is never just what's in the glass. It carries the imprint of its soil, the intent and the stories of those who crafted it, and the perspective of those who taste it. Each bottle opens a dialogue between regions, styles, and people.
«A bottle of wine is a place, a story, and a point of view best understood when shared.»
By sharing wines and ideas, we build something cumulative: a sharper palate, a broader understanding, and a network of individuals connected by a common sensibility.
Around one curated event per month, often hosted at EUMETSAT. Structured tastings of 6–7 wines, carefully paired with food prepared by Chef Eddy, and concluded with a final raffle. Signature moments include Hallowine (Wine & Crime, 31 October) and the sparkling Grand Finale with Tombola in December.
Smaller, spontaneous gatherings built around interesting bottles as they become available, always with thoughtfully paired finger food.
Selected trips to wine fairs and vineyards. An opportunity to engage directly with winemakers and experience wines in their place of origin.
Access to wines that are rarely opened casually — including Barbaresco and Bordeaux in the €130–€140 range. The focus is not prestige alone, but calibration of taste.
Members are encouraged to propose and lead tastings. This has proven to be one of the most effective ways to discover new regions and unexpected producers.
Priority access to the club's annual release, produced in collaboration with Tenuta La Meridiana. Each edition features a custom label and a distinct identity, with members benefiting from preferential conditions and early access.
Joining from August, the membership fee is reduced to €25 instead of €40 — valid for every event from now to the end of the year. It covers administrative costs and grants access to all members-only tastings, trips, and the limited edition release.

The 40 Years Anniversary Gala on 22 October is sold out — thank you! A waiting list is open. Our other evenings are for members, with partners and selected guests welcome to join.
Four decades deserve more than a toast. The Wine Club, the Music Club and the SAC turn the evening into a gala, open to everyone at EUMETSAT: live classical music played on a grand piano, a buffet dinner prepared by Chef Eddy, and two limited-edition labels the club created for the 40th anniversary, unveiled and poured for the very first time that night. We close with a sparkling toast to the milestone. Forty years happen once. Be in the room when we drink to them.
Our Halloween evening, and the one night of the year the club lets the labels do the dressing up. We pour bottles chosen for the occasion, the ones that look like they belong on a séance table and taste far better than that suggests. Alongside them, a new mystery to unravel over the course of the evening: last time you solved it faster than we expected, so this one has been built to hold out a little longer. All we will say for now is that it begins out on the open ocean, with a cargo of wine that was never meant to appear on any manifest and a crew of contrabbandieri who had pushed their luck one crossing too far. Where the bottles ended up is a question of fate. Who carries the blame is a question of destiny — and that one is yours to settle.
The same grapes, the same idea of wine — and two entirely different stories. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc built the reputation of Bordeaux over centuries, ranked and classified since 1855. Then, in the 1970s, a handful of Tuscans planted those same varieties on the Tyrrhenian coast, aged them in French oak, and were rewarded with the humblest label the law allowed: vino da tavola. Within a decade those outlaw bottles were beating the châteaux in blind tastings, and the world had a new word for them — Supertuscans. Three from Bordeaux, three from Tuscany, poured against each other: same blend, same ambition, different soil, different sun, and a rivalry that still has not been settled. These are bottles you read about, walk past in the shop, and put back. We make no compromise on the quality here and we do not count the cost, which is why the room is kept small and the price is what it is.
The last evening of the year, and the one we build to be remembered. A champagne tasting with selected premium labels, a buffet dinner and, inevitably, panettone: the perfect season finale and a proper occasion to wishing you all a good Christmas break. Midway through, the Charity Tombola returns. Last December it raised more than €400 for a good cause, and this year we are doubling down on it. A special guest will be joining us for the occasion, and the evening closes with the prestigious Wine Club Awards 2026.
Custom limited-edition bottles, top-voted wines from our tastings, and a curated selection of exclusive releases from selected producers.
The gold medallions on each bottle highlight the most significant scores awarded by leading wine critics (out of 100).
Banfi in June, Conterno Fantino in September, Antinori in October: thirty-six thousand bottles and more than five million euros, taken by crews who knew the forklifts, the labels and the shipping schedule. An investigation into the new business of cellar theft — the jewellers and the hauliers, the forty tonnes of glass, the bottles that vanish once the cork is out — with the case files, the logistics of a heist, and a test to see whether you would buy the evidence.
Six hundred and twenty-five harvests across twenty-five regions: where the year on the label matters, where it does not, the great vintages hiding inside forgotten years, and why the scores keep going up.
France's hottest day on record, Champagne picking in mid-August, hail taking ninety per cent of the crop in Alto Piemonte — and both countries abandoning their harvest forecasts. Six centuries of Burgundian picking dates and the strategies growers are betting on.
The Wine Cup has a champion. Pieropan's Soave Classico La Rocca took the title blind on 15 July, ahead of Condrieu and Salwey — with the stories behind all three podium wines.
Three seeds — France, Italy and Germany — against three wildcards drawn live in May: Portugal, the US and Austria. From a Rhône legend and a Sicilian volcano to an Austrian coral reef.
The opening quarter-finals: three seeded European classics against three Southern-Hemisphere wildcards. A form guide to the castles, old vines and small obsessions behind each glass.
High above the hills that gave the world Barolo, a quieter revolution in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay: the story of Italy's first metodo classico, reborn at altitude.
Between the Gran Sasso massif and the sea, a region long dismissed as Italy's workhorse is quietly producing some of the country's most distinctive wines.
Pétrus, Lafite, Cheval Blanc: the wines that command the highest prices in the world. And the strategy behind their silence, as the market around them shrinks.
Left Bank, Right Bank, and everything in between. A primer on the soils, grapes, and styles that define the world's most studied wine region.
