The evening's event, held in conjunction with The Week Wine Club, will feature two 45 minute sessions from Dennis complete with complementary wine selected by the publishing mogul.

'Did I Mention the Free Wine?' has taken in 12 dates across the UK and Ireland. Attendees have the option to buy signed copies of the new book, proceeds of which will go towards Dennis' registered charity, The Forest of Dennis.
