Wines: origin, styles and formats

The wine range covers white, red, rosé, orange, sparkling and prosecco wines, as well as vegan, organic and biodynamic wines, fine and rare wines and a non-alcoholic line. The shop organises browsing by grape variety —including Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Malbec, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz and Syrah or Tempranillo— and by country of origin, with references from New Zealand, Australia, Italy, Spain, France, the United States, Argentina, South Africa, Portugal, England and Chile.

It also groups wines by prominent regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, Coonawarra, the Loire Valley, Marlborough, Ribera del Duero, Rioja and Sancerre, and offers price brackets with wines under £10, £15 and £20. The selection is completed by fortified and dessert wines, with madeira, marsala, mead, vermouth and a wide range of sherries: fino, manzanilla, amontillado, palo cortado, oloroso, cream and Pedro Ximénez.
