The American Wine Society is the oldest and largest consumer based wine education organization in North America.  Membership is open to the general public and has been established for those who have a keen interest in wines and the wine culture.

The American Wine Society was organized in 1967 as a non-profit, educational, consumer-oriented organization for those interested in learning more about all aspects of wine. On October 7, 1967, a group of some two hundred wine enthusiasts gathered at Dr. Konstantin Frank’s vineyard on Keuka Lake near Hammondsport, NY for the AWS’ initial meeting.

Through a system of a board of directors, an executive director, regional vice presidents, and chapter chairmen, the Society has grown into a nation-wide organization of amateur grape growers, winemakers, and wine appreciators interested in learning more about the history, production, appreciation, and use of wines. The Society has also attracted wine educators and professionals in wine related sciences, as well as the wine trade itself, extending the Society to a much broader membership base than traditional wine clubs.  Through recent years, the addition of members who have an avid interest in wines and the wine culture has made the Society even more valuable in the wine industry.
