Absolutely fuming. Labour have continued the Tories absurd idea of taxing every different unit of alcohol on wine. This is massively damaging for small importers, giving more advantage to supermarkets and making trade with the EU harder than ever… why are they doing it???? It makes no sense and won’t raise any more money for the treasury.

Join us today from 4pm to 7:30pm to try these two store favourites:

The Snapper Rock Sauvignon Blanc has a classic, vibrant nose of tropical fruits such as passion fruit that carry through to the palate and are joined by a crisp citrus tinged edge to the mouth watering acidity. 

This is consistently one of our best selling kiwi Sauvignons and once tasted it’s not difficult to see why. 

All the wines at Palacio del Camino de Real share something in common: grapes from the best wine regions of San Vicente de la Sonsierra, in the heart of La Rioja Alta, (the birthplace of the Rioja winegrowing tradition where the best old Tempranillo vineyards can be found.) and the dedication with which their winemakers work the vineyard and the affection that our winemakers devote to the production of each wine. One of our best value and best selling wines, not to be missed

Powerful nose with primary aromas of ripe fruit accompanied by complex spicy and balsamic notes with a slight touch of vanilla. Nicely balanced on the palate with well integrated tannins.

The perfect red wine to try with a roast lamb dinner. 

We know love these two. See you at the usual time!

Today we will be opening;

Montsablé, Reserve Chardonnay, IGP Haute Vallée de L’Aude, Limoux, France. - The floral aromas and white peach flavours are complemented by vanilla, toasty notes, a lovely creamy texture and mineral tones through to a classy finish.

And:

Maison Denuzière, Ventoux, Rouge, Les Beaux Brins AOP, Southern Rhône, France. - A deep and brilliant ruby colour. This very approachable Ventoux has a fresh, complex and expressive nose of cherries and gooseberries. A sensuous mouth accompanied by silky tannins. The wine is well balanced with a very enjoyable fresh finish to it.

Our tasting starts from 4pm to 7:30pm instore.

I’m pleased to see this in the press….
We’ve been banging the drum on this issue and speaking to MPs since Rishi Sunak announced his shake up of wine duties. These policies planned under the previous government are still due to come in February 2025 (clearly a trap for Labour as the Tories kicked in into the next parliament when they realised it’s a poor policy) seriously threatens our business. The new policy will mean we won’t be able to access as many exciting wines, as shipping to the UK will be more of a hassle for small producers. This will also be much more of a hassle for us due to vintage variation meaning each wine will fluctuate in price/taxes year to year based simply on the amount of sunshine (alcohol level) that ripened the grapes in the vineyard that year!
As a small merchant finding small parcels of exciting wine is what we are all about, this makes it so much more difficult.
We need Labour to scrap the changes at the Budget and make the easement permanent so we can still access the wines we want to sell.
I’m happy to explain it in more detail if anyone wants to discuss it and will be sending an email out to our mailing list myself to help anyone who will help us to press our Government.

Big names including Majestic and Laithwaites hope to head off price rises whereby drinks will be taxed on ABV
