Whisky or Whiskey? 🥃

It depends on the country of origin:

👉Whisky (without the "e") is used in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, Canada 🇨🇦, and Japan 🇯🇵
👉Whiskey (with the "e") is used in Ireland 🇮🇪 & the United States 🇺🇸

But since it’s Burns Night, the correct spelling is whisky! 😉

After 10 years we are saying goodbye to this legend.

”Charlotte Bannon started working with me here at Reserve shortly after we opened Altrincham Market & Bents. During that time she has got married, had 2 gorgeous kids, retrained.. passing her CIPD alongside her full-time job. I was about to give birth to my second child when she joined us and she just cracked on with it. Since then she has been right by my side. Her insights, when we opened 2 new sites and moved into our warehouse, were invaluable. She has been instrumental in creating a great work environment & culture, developing training, reward schemes, employee assistance programs and so much more.
She is now going on to develop her career in HR at another organisation and they are lucky to have her.. most of all because she is a brilliant person, good to the core. What a pleasure it is that my professional life has connected me with such a person.
We’ll miss you Charl but there will always be a glass of something special waiting for you here.” Kate Goodman

🥴 Battling the Boxing Day Bloat?

👀 Did you know Kombucha is full of great ingredients to help ease that overindulgence? Here’s 3 reasons why it’s worth giving a try - especially this time of year!

1️⃣ Rich in Probiotics:
The fermentation process produces probiotics, beneficial bacteria that can improve gut health. These probiotics may help balance the gut microbiome, which can reduce gas and bloating caused by an imbalance of bacteria in the digestive tract.

2️⃣ Digestive Enzymes:
During fermentation, kombucha develops various enzymes that can aid in breaking down food more effectively.

3️⃣ Reduction of Gut Inflammation:
Kombucha contains organic acids, such as acetic acid and gluconic acid, which may help reduce inflammation in the digestive system.

🥳 In the words of Phoebe, Happy Christmas Eve Eve - the friends fans will know! 😉

We’re on the penultimate day of Winemas and Bents Assistant Store Manager Gemma is here with not just 1, but 2 top favourites from the year. Are we going to let her off for choosing 2? 🤔
Absolutely!

👇Gemma’s top picks & why?

🍷 Taltarni Sparkling Shiraz 2019 £19.00 - Got to have sparkle over the festive season and this sparkling red definitely stands out. Something different to try.

🍺 Tartarus Reserve Hazy DDH 44cl 5.1% £5.00 - this has been my early Christmas present and made my year. It's been over half a year in the planning, a conversation started between myself and Jordan female co owner at Tartarus and it's a celebration of women working with beer and Reserves big 10 year anniversary in Bents. I'm biased but it's a cracker and have loved getting customer feedback on it and that they love it as much as I do.

🤩 Does it really get any better!?

Tomorrow’s the final day of 12 Days of Winemas, will we be sharing 1 wine, 2 or maybe even 6? Let’s wait & see! 👀
