Labelnet raises funds and spirits at Wine Bluff

The corks popped, the glasses clinked, and the generosity flowed at SNAP’s Beat the Wine Bluffers at Shenfield Parish Hall, sponsored by Labelnet. The event attracted wine lovers, philanthropists, and members of the SNAP community for an evening of exceptional wine tasting and entertainment.

Nish Patel of Shenfield Wine Company and Penny Hollington of Lady Penelope Wines compered the Call My Bluff style event as three bluffers tried to convince the audience of their expertise.

Guests swirled, sniffed, and savoured delicious wines over six rounds, debating which bluffer was telling the truth. Fundraising Manager, Sara Clifton said, “It was an incredibly entertaining night. Our bluffers were hilarious and really got into their characters. Everyone really enjoyed themselves, though I suspect there were a few sore heads in the morning.”

“I really enjoyed watching the audience each round – there were a lot of tables having heated debates about who to trust, and others who were very democratic, with raised hands to cast their vote for a consensus. Despite how relaxed the event was a lot of our guests took it very seriously!”

As well they should with a case of delicious wines provided by Shenfield Wine Company up for grabs for the winning team! The night wasn’t complete without the charity auction which featured some stunning prizes including a Damien Hirst, Rare Spin CD from Brandler Galleries, a gift set of wines from New Hall Wine Estate, and bottle of Blackeye Gin signed by Mike Tindall, James Haskell and Alex Payne. By the end of the intoxicating evening, a fantastic £4,508 was raised for SNAP. These funds will help to ensure that SNAP can continue to support thousands of local families.

Karen Boath, CEO said, “This would not have been possible without Labelnet, who in addition to sponsoring the event also provided a welcome drink and specially printed covers for each of the bottles being sampled throughout the night.”

“On behalf of The SNAP Team, I would like to raise a glass to Labelnet for their continued support. And huge thanks to Nish, Penny, our bluffers and everyone who came along, helping to make this event such a success. We are truly grateful for the overwhelming support we receive from our community. SNAP really would not be able to be here for so many families without you.”
