Use Wine To Get To Know Your Neighbors

Times have really changed since many of the adults of today were kids in many ways. While social media has made people close in some ways, in other ways we are getting farther and farther apart. Nowhere is this more obvious than in our very own neighborhoods. Not too long ago neighbors knew each other and in many cases spent time together enjoying long summer days and even the holiday season. But today many do not anything more about their neighbor other than what is on their mailbox by the curb.

One recent idea that has been getting more attention is to create a neighborhood wine club in order to find common ground with those who live around you and get to know them better. A monthly get together where everyone brings along their favorite bottle of wine is a great opportunity for neighbors to get back to the way things used to be where we know those who live around us and choose to spend time finding out who they are.

To get started, print out flyers or send invitations in the mail inviting the neighbors to bring their favorite bottle of wine to your home in their Single Bottle Wine Totes for a gathering. Plan on serving a few snacks to accompany the wine and before the night is over plan it again in one month at someone else’s home to continue on the new tradition.
