If you are considering wine as a gift, we think you should try to avoid wines that are regulars in the retail sector as your recipients will probably associate them with a particular price point and these wines are often, apparently, heavily discounted, thereby devaluing their perceived value as a gift. We have a strong reputation as independent wine merchants; we are not interested in wines produced to satisfy mass market appeal but are instead passionate about finding the best new wines from emerging, highly thought of producers recognised for the quality of their work and their interest in making exciting wines. In addition, we aim to offer a level of expertise in the wine market that informs not just the gifts in our wine, champagne and hamper range but also gives our clients access to sound advice, up to date insights into the emerging stars of the wine world and, of course, competitive prices on great wines, many of them award-winners or recipients of plaudits from respected authorities in the wine press. That is why customers come to us when the quality of the wine is of paramount importance.
We regularly run wine tastings for our clients in the North West and this gives us the opportunity to showcase our new wines and gauge what people think of them: we use this feedback when determining which wines to include in our gift range. Since we enjoy sharing our enthusiasm for wine with others we are always delighted to hear from customers asking for advice on any wine issues.
