Our duty rates in the UK are truly eye-watering. £2.67 on your typical bottle, as long as it’s between 11.5% - 14.5%, and with VAT on top that takes it to £3.20 ☹️

So it really does make sense to pay a little more attention to how much actual wine there is in your next bottle. The one saving grace of our regime is that the duty is fixed, so the more you spend on the wine, the more actual wine you get.🥳

And now for the bad news…😱

On Feb 1st our rates will be changing again, despite the largest increase in 50 years which the industry was hit with in the August ’23 budget (thanks Jeremy).

And to make things ‘easier’ (yes, they actually this word a lot) that 11.5 – 14.5% single tax band will disappear and be replaced with an increasing value per 0.5% increment. 🫥

So an 11.5% wine will attract £2.94 inc VAT (a slight reduction, yippee) whilst a 14% wine will set you back £3.59

It’s time to embrace your inner Hugo – drink less, but better!

10th April 2024 - Only £20 pp!

Get cozy because our PJs & Popcorn theme is all about going casual. 😌

Beyond your average ‘Sweet & Salt’, popcorn can now be seasoned in an increasing variety of mouthwatering ways - and boy, do we have a treat for you. 😋

Joe & Steph’s use 100% natural ingredients and a unique “flavour-sequencing” process which locks in flavours so that they flourish on the palate at different intervals whilst you’re eating the popcorn. 🍿

The Drinksmith are excited to pair four delicious wines with four of their gourmet popcorn selection. Think savoury favours with a sweet treat at the end. 👌

*Please select the FREE PICKUP from The Drinksmith as the delivery option*

COMPETITION TIME!!

Come in your favourite PJs, slippers or/and dressing gown and be in with a chance to win The Drinksmith goodie bag which will include a bottle of wine and some popcorn, of course!

TRY January Wine Tasting 🍷

Wednesday 24th January 6pm -7:30pm
£25pp

Let us help you navigate the grape variety maze ! 🍇

How has your Jan been so far ? ‘Dry’, a bit damp or positively drenched ?

Well, whichever camp you sit in, you can take solace from the antidote to Dry Jan - and that’s TRY Jan! 🥂

We’ll taste 6 wines from grape varieties that you’ll have probably never heard of (and might struggle to pronounce in some cases) and upcoming regions that you didn’t know made wine, let alone brilliant wine. The aim is to broaden everyone’s horizons, beyond the usual suspects (New Zealand Sauvignon, Argie Malbec etc etc) arming you with super tasty, better value options for 2024.
