context_page_description: The International Wine & Food Society Ltd. is a not-for-profit gastronomical organisation founded in 1933 by André Simon and A.J.A. Symons. According to its website, the society's mission is "the promotion of a broad knowledge and understanding of both wine and food, the enhancement of their appreciation, and the nurturing of camaraderie among those who share the pleasures of the table." With branches in Europe, North America, Africa, Australia and Asia, its members host a series of events throughout the year that have included dinners, wine tastings and food appreciation courses. As of 2015, there are over 130 branches and more than 6,500 members worldwide.
context_section_description: Since 1996, the International Wine & Food Society has published a total of 15 monographs dealing with numerous food and wine subjects. The list of titles include Reflections through a wine glass, some contemporary issues explored by Bob Campbell MW, An Appreciation of the Age of Wine by Sid Cross, Biodynamics in Wine by Beverly Blanning MW and The Science of Taste by Ruth Binney.
  Quarterly magazines are published and printed by two of the zones for their respective members – the Americas "Wine Food & Friends" and in Europe/Africa "Food and Wine".  The International Secretariat also issues a quarterly e-newsletter, "The Grapevine" which is distributed globally to all members. The IWFS also produces a Vintage Card each year which takes the form of the Society's annual  membership card.  The card is thoroughly reviewed each year by respected wine specialists around the world.
  The Guildhall Library in the City of London houses an extensive record of Society events and their menus and is open to the public for reference.
