Our newest overtonebrewing to hit the shelves this weekend!

• Bright Lights IPA 6%abv: A bold and vibrant brew inspired by Cannon's song from the 2019 album Shadow. This IPA offers bright, punchy flavours with a smooth light finish.

• Munich Helles Lager 4.7%abv: Light yet refined, it balances subtle sweetness with a clean smooth finish. Inspired by tradition with a modern twist just like Editors, the band that inspired its name.

📍 These & much more available in all stores this weekend, except Helensburgh - unfortunately you’ll have to wait until next weekend due to delivery arrival!

One for the Chardonnay lovers - this classic Chablis (not Petit) is at a never-before-seen price at only £15.99, saving £4 off the RRP £19.99.

It’s fresh, crisp and packed with that signature zingy charm. Unlike Petit Chablis (which is a lighter style), this one comes from the central vineyards so
it's got that extra character and length. At £15.99, it's a total steal and won't last long!

Available in all stores this weekend: https://www.elliescellar.com/barton-guestier-chablis-2022.html

“With their amazing hops, NZ is leading the way in re-imagining the Pilsner Style. As well as hopping with classic German/Czech pilsner hops, we’ve hopped with a ton of NZ Motueka. The MOT delivers intense flavours of fresh tropical limes, pairing beautifully with the German Pilsner Malt – LUSH! 5% abv”

Introducing my first ‘winner’ wine of 2025…

I’m usually a glass a night guy (I’m getting on a bit) but this beauty tempts me in spades to keep topping up my glass. It’s made by the wine team that make Rioja Vega and in the glass it drinks like a super smooth, bang in it’s drinking window, Rioja although it can’t be labelled Rioja as it is made in Navarra (geographically a next door neighbour of Rioja).

It starts with some enticing fine oak and tempting ripe fruit aromas and delivers on this promise in the mouth. I’m confident enough to say that this wine would pair with any meat or cheese and would take centre stage. It’s also balanced enough to drink without food and is a lovely (feet up, seat reclined, feeling no pain) sort of wine.

If you’ve been in team Ellie’s with me over the last 20 plus years then you’ll know I don’t gush about everything but when I have, hopefully you haven’t been disappointed. Wine 2025 starts here - pop in store this weekend and ask for our Wine of the Month 🍷

All Work and No Play… Well, Almost! 🍷

This week, we were down in Manchester for the boutinotwines Wine Tasting—on the hunt for some new treats for our shelves! But with the recent duty hikes, our mission this year was even more focused: finding wines that drink well above their price point. Because getting you the best value for your bottle is more important than ever now.

And I’d say… mission accomplished! Orders go in this weekend, so keep your eyes peeled next week to see what gems we’ve uncovered 👀
