Have you tried Godello grape?. Full peachiness, Green apples, citrus. From DO Monterrei in South Galicia. Similar Atlantic freshness to Albariño , but fuller and rounder. Nice alternative to Verdejo, White rioja, Viognier.

W**e labels can look complicated, but they don't have to be.

A few key details can tell you almost everything you need to know before you buy. The region hints at the w**e's style, the grape variety gives you an idea of the flavours, the vintage shows when the grapes were harvested, and the producer can be a useful guide to quality. The alcohol level can also provide a clue about the w**e's body and character.

Once you know what to look for, choosing a bottle becomes much simpler.

Which part of a w**e label do you check first?

Buying w**e as a gift doesn't have to be complicated.

One of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming that the most expensive bottle is automatically the best choice. In reality, a well-chosen w**e that suits the occasion and the recipient's preferences will always make a greater impression.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, anniversary, housewarming or saying thank you, a little expert guidance can help you choose a bottle they'll genuinely enjoy.

Not sure what to buy? We're always happy to help you find the perfect gift.

Does the shape of your w**e glass really matter?

It does more than you might think. The shape of the bowl affects how aromas reach your nose, how quickly the w**e warms and even how the bubbles behave. You don't need a cupboard full of different glasses, though. A good universal glass will work beautifully for most occasions.

Do you have a favourite glass you always reach for?

Planning a summer dinner? Start with the food, then choose the w**e.

Summer meals tend to be lighter, fresher and perfect for eating outdoors, so your w**e can follow the same approach. Crisp whites, chilled rosé and sparkling w**es can work beautifully across everything from seafood and salads to grilled dishes and cheese.

A good pairing shouldn't compete with your meal, it should make both taste better.

What's on your summer dinner table?

A common misconception is that every bottle of w**e gets better with age. In reality, most w**es are produced to be enjoyed while they're still fresh, fruity and full of character.

Only selected styles are designed for long-term ageing. These w**es gradually develop greater complexity over time, while many everyday w**es are at their best within just a few years of bottling.

When choosing a w**e, don't focus on its age alone. The style, producer and recommended drinking window matter far more than the vintage.

Have you ever saved a bottle for years, or do you prefer to enjoy it while it's young?

Natural, organic and biodynamic w**es are often grouped together, but they aren't the same. 🍷

Organic w**es focus on how the grapes are grown. Natural w**es are made with minimal intervention in the w**ery, while biodynamic w**es take a holistic approach to farming and vineyard management.

Each style has its own character, so it's worth trying them to see what you enjoy most.

Have you tried any of these w**es?

Good w**e deserves good storage.

A few simple mistakes can affect how your w**e tastes long before you open the bottle. Keeping w**e away from heat, sunlight and changing temperatures, storing corked bottles on their side and sealing opened bottles properly can all help preserve their quality.

Whether it's an everyday favourite or a bottle you're saving for a special occasion, storing it correctly will help you enjoy it at its best.

Which of these storage mistakes surprised you the most?

Many people still believe that a screw cap means a w**e is lower quality, but that's one of the biggest misconceptions in the w**e industry.

Screw caps are chosen by many respected w**emakers because they provide a reliable seal, help preserve freshness and reduce the risk of cork taint. The closure is simply a different way of protecting the w**e, not a measure of its quality.

When choosing a bottle, focus on the producer, grape variety and style rather than what's sealing it. You might be surprised by what's inside.

Do you still prefer a traditional cork, or are you happy to twist and pour?

When the weather gets warmer, many of us naturally move away from heavier reds and towards fresher, lighter w**es.

Crisp Albariño with seafood, Sauvignon Blanc with grilled fish, Pinot Grigio with antipasti or a lightly chilled Pinot Noir with salmon can all work beautifully for summer dining.

The trick isn't simply choosing white over red. It's finding a style that feels fresh and works with what's on your plate.

What's your go-to summer w**e?
