Enhancing wine education programming for American Wine Society members
CRU 100 is a cadre of American Wine Society benefactors advancing the American Wine Society mission of promoting wine appreciation through education by supporting the development of relevant, quality wine education resources that directly benefit and empower American Wine Society chapters and members across the country.
The American Wine Society aspires to develop a CRU membership of 100 donors who believe strongly in our wine education mission and are willing to contribute $500 each. Additional proceeds derived from the annual Presidential Reception held at the American Wine Society National Conference.

Programming Funded by CRU 100
Chapters (and individuals) can use these resources to run a tasting with little or no additional research. Choose your wines and go!
