Some events are done purely for the love of wines. The entire financial outcome, to put it bluntly, is simply to cover cost.
It doesn't sound like a sound business decision, no pun intended. But with events such as Burger & Burgundy, which was done on 26 June 2026, there are other motivations behind it.
This was the first of AWR's event series termed The Collective Pour. Like the name would suggest, community is a big part of why we did it. We brought together our Founding Members and their friends, many of whom also joined as members after.
These days, community building is a buzz word. But long before community became a hashtag on Instagram, the wine world already has it. The kind of community AWR is aiming to build, described in one word: discerning. To be discerning, we need to first be open-minded to learning, exposed to styles and producers to understand our own palate and most importantly to be able to distinguish quality.
