A grand charity wine tasting of 12 fine wines from the United States of America will raise funds to support the families of those killed in the attack on the World Trade Centre.

The tasting at The Guildhall, Worcester, on Thanksgiving Day (November 22) will support victims of the September 11 atrocity - including the brave firefighters, policemen and rescue workers who gave their lives while trying to save others.

The fine wines are kindly presented by their makers, British shippers or Midland distributors.

The event, organised by Philippe Boucheron and supported by BBC Radio Hereford & Worcester and the Worcester Evening News, will also feature a 'surprise' raffle.

Just 155 tickets are available from the Worcester Evening News, Hylton Road, Worcester (Tel: 01905 748200) at £15.00 each. Payment by cheques only, made payable to The American Embassy. There is a limit of two tickets per application.
