Curious Liquids, 28-30 Kilmarnock Road, Glasgow (2025)

25/12/2024

The big day is here and we hope you’re drinking plenty of wine, eating many mince pies and watching The Muppets Christmas Carol over and over again.

We want to just take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you who ventured down to Curious or Bochka, even during the various extreme forms the weather was taking. This has been a very big year for us, we have two shops now in case you haven’t heard! The love and support you have all given us this year has been nothing short of extraordinary, not only have you helped a small business thrive but you have made us feel like such a welcome part of the community in Shawlands.

Now it’s time for us to have a well deserved rest. Have a merry Christmas and we’ll see you on the other side before Hogmanay!

Merry Christmas and Many happy returns,
The Curious Liquids & Bochka Team x

Xmas is just round the corner and you’ve got the turkey, the parsnips, the sprouts, the crackers, you’ve even gotten the nut roast for the vegetarian that’s coming this year, but have you sorted out the wine yet? Have you???
Well, worry not because we’ve got you absolutely sorted this year with our festive bags of wine!!

This year we have them in bags of 3 or 6 wines.

The 3 includes:

- Osmin Conservatoire ‘Mauzac’ white
- Kanarakis Agiorgitiko red
- Maison Antech Blanquette de Limoux bubbles
£65

With the bag of 6 you get (on top of the previous 3):

- Soalheiro Alvarinho Vino Verde white
- Carinus Pinot Noir red
- Prince De St. Aubin Sauternes dessert wines
£120

And(!) as if that wasn’t enough, if you want to swap your bubbles out for a proper bottle of champers, then for just £30 we will include Jean de Villaré Brut “Grande Reserve”!

We are open every day until Christmas Eve so you’ve still got plenty of time… but the clock is ticking!

For our final spirit tasting of the year, we thought we’d put together something special for you;
Join us for a night of gin with the excellent Secret Garden! Anyone that knows Curious Liquids knows that we love these guys. A (literally) homegrown distillery based just outside of Edinburgh, Secret Garden distil all their gin with botanicals from their eponymous garden. Their lovely infusions range from lemon verbena and lavender to Scottish-grown Pinot Noir grapes! Yes, you read that correctly. Scottish Pinot Noir, which they have now vinified into vermouth.
We figured, hey, we’ve got vermouth, we’ve got gin, let’s get some negronis on the go!
Over the course of the night, we’ll sample a negroni made with Secret Garden gin & vermouth then a range of gins, including the brand new Winter Gin, with a selection of tonics & sodas.
Nibbles will be included with the ticket, and teas & Turkish coffees will be available in Bochka after the event.
Please note that this is a small, intimate event. Tables seat 2 people each, so larger parties will be split up. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate dogs.
We ask that you please make us aware of any allergies your party may have ahead of the event.

Wednesday 4th December, 19:00-21:30

We are currently processing everyone’s orders so expect to hear from us in the near future!

We also want to extend a huge thank you to our suppliers, without whom, this would not be possible:

With Beauj Nouveaux week coming along faster and faster each year it seems, we’ve tried to get a little bit ahead this year because Beaujolais is for life not just for Christmas.

We have here, 3 juicy champs which we reckon will be more than enough to push you through until the nouveaux’s arrive. All coming from Dominique Piron showcasing just how different this wee grape can be across different areas within a region or different lengths of ageing.

We’ve got you: An fancy Fleurie, a gastro Beauj and a vintage Morgon.

So come and chat to us if you want to know more cause as you can see, we’re absolutely gassed to have them here.

One of our Sean’s close friends is a fundraiser for and as all of us (excluding Jess) already have a moustache we thought a better way to offer our support was to raise proceeds for the charity through this giveaway. All proceeds from the donations will be donated in full to Movember at the end of the month.

To donate to the cause, check the link in our bio. Then at the end of the month we will announce our 3 lucky winners!!

ANNUAL DEYA STEADY ROLLING STRATA RELEASE!!

Big news fresh from , today marks the annual release of their Steady Rolling Strata beers.

A homage to their, to quote, “most important beer - Steady Rolling Man”, these beers are only released once a year.
The Strata range are the same malt base as the Steady Rolling Man, but they sub out the usual hops in place of a single variety Strata hops to really showcase their quality!
Available as an IPA or Double IPA, get across to Bochka and get them before they’re all gone! Trust me, they won’t last long!

In addition to this release, we’ve topped up on all the Deya classics and the Deya Specials release “Service Please!” We’ve gone Deya daft, so get to Bochka go Deya daft with us.

A massive “thank you” to everyone that attended our inaugural Wine Tasting evening at our new shop Bochka.

It was an absolute pleasure to host you all and we really appreciate the kind words and support. We really can’t do these nights without you, so we look forward to welcoming you to future events.

A special thanks must be extended to our amazing rep Greg for his knowledge and terrific presenting of the wines. I, (Sean), like to think his professionalism and attention to detail combined well with my “enthusiastic” ramblings.

Another massive thank you to Jack for filming/ photographing the evening. In many ways I am indebted to you… as you may have seen from the photos above, I completely forgot to take any photos of the evening… so thank god you were there to chronicle the evening. I can’t wait to see your final cuts.

So in lacking any photos of my own, you’ll all have to make do with a lovely picture of some vines… I spent that long talking about them last night, it felt only right.

Anyway, keep your eyes peeled on Insta for any future events. We have some exciting ideas in the pipelines.

So, we’ve replaced our previous “Classics…” menu with a list full of almost entirely new wines to the shop, hence, “Out With The Old…”

We hope you’re as excited as we are and we cannot wait to share some exciting new wines with you!

It is with heavy hearts and teary eyes that we ask you to join us in saying our final goodbyes to our wonderful Zerrin. During her 3 years here at Curious, she has become the life and soul of our wee shop and bar. Every shift, no matter the day or the weather, she brought a sense of serenity and purified joy, not only to the team but to everyone that came through the door. Zerrin completely embodied everything we believe makes Curious what it is today, we’re not just saying goodbye to a good friend but an important part of our history too. You will be dearly missed Zerrin!

So please join us as we wish her and her partner, Andy, all the very best as they move into the next chapter of their lives back home in Sydney.

P.s. Don’t be surprised if you see Curious shut for a month in the future as we try to justify a staff trip down under to see her. (If any reps want to sponsor us in doing so please reach out ###x)
