What's In Store
Sustainability
Wine packaging is not very environmentally friendly. However, we're keen to do our bit to protect the environment and so we reuse packaging we receive for our deliveries. It may look a little funny but it's more environmentally friendly than sending everything in swish branded boxes (or even recycling them ourselves!).
Wherever possible we try to arrange shipping direct from the supplier. This allows us to reduce our carbon footprint as well as offer you the best price possible.
Reduce > Reuse > Recycle
Wine Of The Month
Each month we share with you the bottle that's caught our attention.
This month, it's a pearler from Hush Heath. With lush strawberry flavours and a lasting finish, this multi-award winning wine is absolutely cracking!
Hush Heath winery is located in the heart of Kent, a stone's throw from English Reserve. The first vineyard we visited after setting up shop, it was natural we showcased one of their very best as our first Wine Of The Week.
While we enjoyed all the wines on our visit this stuck in the memory banks as one to enjoy again. We hope you do too!
