Cheers! Wine lovers flock to Burnham Rotary Club's wine festival

Dozens of bottles were uncorked when scores of wine lovers flocked to Burnham-On-Sea Rotary Club's 45th annual wine festival on Friday night (February 16th).

More than £1,000 is expected to have been raised for local charities from the popular event, which was held at the town's Lakeside Holiday Park in Westfield Road.

Armed with wine glasses, 130 people supported the event, which was first started in 1962.

Organiser Roy Twining, who is Vice President of the Rotary Club, told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "We had 66 wines from eleven of the best wine-producing countries in the world available, so there really was something for every taste."

"The wives of the Rotarians in our Inner Wheel group also did a great job in laying on food and nibbles to accompany the wine."
