We came to create Forest Wines because the local wine shop we wanted did not exist in Walthamstow. We were after a place that would offer drinks for every occasion - simple wines for the everyday table, great wines for those special occasions, and craft beers and selected spirits for everything in between. We wanted a place that’s a product of passion, where we could stop by and pick up a bottle o
n our way from work, chat to someone who knows their products, and get a sense of a local community. We created Forest Wines to be all that. We source our wines from the ‘Old World’ - France, Italy, and Spain. But we also like to offer our customers something out of the usual range, from less known regions and countries like Georgia and Austria. When it comes to beers we focus on the great craft beer being produced in East London, with one from Walthamstow’s own micro-brewery, The Wild Card, we are also preparing a small selection of craft beers from France, soon to hit our shelves. Majority of our wines are natural, either organically or biodynamically produced, fermented with indigenous yeast, and made with a minimum interventions from the picking in the vineyard all the way to the bottle. We are simply after quality, natural produce and diversity. We taste and carefully select all our wines before they go on our shelves. We really treat our selection of wines as if we were stocking up our own wine racks, so everything you find in our shop is wine and beer we would happily drink ourselves. Thanks to all the testing and tasting we are here to help you navigate through the maze of ‘natural wines’, ‘terroirs’ & ‘food pairing’ - whatever the occasion just drop in and see us on Forest Road, E17. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call us at the the shop. We have big plans for future and hope to share our passion with all of you in and around Walthamstow with home deliveries on two wheels, regular wine tastings and online shop.
