Delicata winery launches privilege card The Delicata winery is taking all the bother, formalities and purchase obli- gations out of the concept of the wine club as it is known, by introducing a more suave kind of wine lovers' privi- lege card. It is aimed at all those who wish to share in Delicata's love for wine, food and gracious hospitality. "We would like to see true wine enthusiasts sign up for all the right reasons," director Mario Delicata said. "We want to open our cellar doors wide and often in the hope that people get really acquainted with Delicata as Malta's passionate family of winemakers." Cardholders will have admission to bespoke occasions which will be the place where friends and families come to make memories. Such special events will include intimate wine tasting sessions at the winery, wine master classes, themed vineyard tours and private gourmet evenings at Delicata's 17th century barrel vault. The Delicata Privilege Card also entitles the holder to other exclusive benefits such as free Delicata wine when dining out at certain restaurants and wine bars. These bonuses will be advertised in social media, the wine and food sections of national newspapers and lifestyle magazines. The new Delicata initiative promises to be about the celebration of wine and the lifestyle that comes with it. The winery stresses that its least priority is directed to consumer sales from the company's premises. Unlike most wine clubs, there is no obligation to purchase wine to join, no regular cellar door sales and no promotional email blasts. Membership is completely complimentary either upon invitation by the Delicata winery or upon acceptance of one's enrolment through the winery's dedicated web page, www.delicata.com/card. Every Delicata Privilege Card holder will also automatically be entitled to unrestricted access to 'In2Wine', the winery's original 24/7 private online channel for wine knowledge. And, as yet another extra advantage, privilege cards will double up as a velvet rope pass which is valid at Delicata wine events with fast- track and hospitality services. Wine enthusiasts who wish to apply for the newly launched Delicata Privilege Card, can register at www. delicata.com/card/ or call the Delicata Privilege Card Desk on +(356) 21 825 199 for further details. Cardholders will have admission to bespoke occasions such as intimate wine tasting sessions and gourmet evenings at Delicata's 17th century barrel vault
