COMPETITION TIME! 🍷

For September, we partnered with Azienda Agricola Cortese - Sicilia and our supplier to bring you a taste of Sicily and a reminder that sunshine and summer were not a hallucination and a thing of the past.

You might have gone back to work/ school/ everyday life, but you can still have a taste of Italian holiday and La Dolca Vita right in your house.

For every bottle purchased in store, you will get a chance to win some tasty goodies, courtesy of Az. Agr. Cortese and North South W**es Ltd:

- 1st PRIZE is a mixed 6-bottle box of Carricante and Frappato;
- 2nd PRIZE is a mix 3-bottle box of Carricante and Frappato;
- 3rd PRIZE is a traditional Sicilian ceramic Pine Cone ornament, symbolizing a welcoming home;
- Consolation 4th PRIZE is a Cortese gift tin, including recipes, t-shirts and stickers

1 bottle = 1 entry. The more bottles purchased throughout the month, the more chances you have to bag some fantastic goodies (just sayin' 😉)

Good luck everyone!

Just over 1 month to go before we are led on a journey of discovery by Mariella Romano, Global Brand Ambassador for Arran Distillery, in what we think is going to be a fantastic in-depth tasting session.

Did you know that for centuries, Arran communities up and down the island made spirits in illicit home-made stills to boost their incomes? The 'Arran Waters' (as it was known) was then smuggled and sold to mainland Scotland.
The island has come a long way since, but the passion for crafting spirits and the centuries of history and heritage are well into people DNAs.

6 whiskies, 2 distilleries, 1 shared passion: to bring the true soul of Arran into your wh**ky glasses. Are you joining us?

🗓 Thursday 1st October 2026

Things our Festival of W**es is NOT:
- a tasting
- listening to somebody talking enthusiastically about w**es
- a place to bond over shared love of w**e (and spirits)
- a gathering of some, cool independent local businesses
- a chance to fill up your rack with some delicious goodies
- discovering some great products and the people behind them
- going home having thoroughly enjoyed your night

It's all this and so much more. Whether you are a regular face to our Festival or just dipping your toes into the world of w**e, this is a great excuse to just do that. Have a great time out, getting to know new people, sampling some delicious products, grab a tasty bite and discover what incredible businesses you have on your doorstep.

Are you joining us for some fun? You can buy your tickets here:

You ready to spill some tea? ☕

As a nation, we LOOOOOOVE our tea (English Breakfast, builders, Earl Grey, normal tea, milk or no milk, fruity tea etc.), so much so that we debate over how to make it (Milk first? Tea first? Mug or cup? China or not?).

The most important debate should be is my tea fair? Am I repaying justly all the hard work put into growing, picking and making sure I get the best tea?

We're never been big fans of quantity over quality and, as we have said about w**e, spending a couple of pounds more goes a long way in terms of what you can get. Why drinking a meh cup of tea when you can drink a full bodied, thick, golden and smooth tea.

Lou and Sofia are doing exactly that. Make sure that more people in the UK get to drink good tea, rewarding farmers a higher price for their product, while still being affordable enough to drink daily.

We have just restocked our Spill Tea ☕ Are you ready to elevate your drinking experience?

And that's a wrap... 🥃

When we first started selling Richard Seale's ECS (Exceptional Cask Series) releases we would have never thought how big of a deal they would become.
To be honest, we should have probably seen this coming, knowing how incredibly talented Richard is and how fantastic the rums are.

31 releases later, we are not saying goodbye to them, we are saying thank you.
Thank you for being allowed to shout about this incredible product.
Thank you for being able to share it with as many customers as we did.
Thank you for letting us go on a journey of discovery of how great rum can be.

As Richard Seale mentioned in an interview with Club Œnologique a few years ago "when people say 'We can't age rum for a long time', they are just advertising that they don't know how to do it". And boy was he right!

The last ECS release, Epilogue, is a blend of rums aged for a minimum of 19 years (you heard that right!) in ex-Bourbon and American White Oak. Awarded "Gold Outstanding" at the 2026 IWSC, it's a sight to behold with its mahogany colour, followed by subtle aromas of dark chocolate, dried fruits and a hint of leather. The finish just keeps going 😋 you need to try to believe us!

There are a handful of bottles of this liquid gold available so don't delay
