Whether you're looking for a cheapy for a week-night, wines for your wedding, drinks for your business or something to lay down for a decade or two, you'll be able to find it here...

It's Shop Indie Day, and here's what that means when you walk through our doors.

You're not buying from a shelf. You're buying from James, who'll ask what you're cooking before he recommends anything. From Kallum, who'll pour you a taste from our by-the-glass list before you commit to a full one.

You're also backing more than one indie. So many of the w**es on our shelves come from small, independent producers, often families who've worked the same vineyards for generations. Most of the food on our sharing boards comes from independent suppliers we've worked with for years.

At and in Macclesfield, we share our food halls with brilliant independent kitchens and traders. In Didsbury, and soon in Chorlton, most of our neighbours on the street are independent too.

Independent shops keep high streets worth walking down. This Christmas, come and find yours.

Our Cheese and W**e evening last Thursday on Burton Road 🧀🍷

Precision W**e's Prototype Lodi Zinfandel made its much-requested return with Cashel Blue, and James, Tom and Conor kept the glasses topped up.

Missed it? Your next night with us is this Thursday:

🎃 Halloween W**e Tasting, Didsbury
📆 Thurs 29th Oct, 6:30–9pm
🎟️ £45 - 4 spaces left

You'll start with a glass of crisp Crémant, then work through six w**es with a darker side: a Galician white named after witches, an Alsace Frankenstein, a Greek red nicknamed "the blood of Hercules" and a Châteauneuf-du-Pape from the popes' own town. James will be pouring, with a spooky story for every glass. All treats, no tricks.

Our journey through the Languedoc continues 🍷

We had some fantastic feedback from our first Languedoc by-the-glass range, so we’ve gone back for more. From today, there are four new w**es pouring at all our sites.

🥂 Gayda Figure Libre Freestyle Blanc 2023:
lime blossom and white peach. Bright and zippy, the one to start your evening with.

🥂 La Dourbie Marius Blanc 2024: lemon curd, honeysuckle and toasted almond. Medium and rounded, something a little deeper.

🍷 Gayda Freestyle Rouge 2024: bramble, dark cherry and a crack of pepper. Juicy, and very easy to say yes to a second glass of.

🍷 La Dourbie Marius Rouge 2023: full-bodied and complex, with dark fruit and herbs, at 14.5%. Pair this with the Charcuterie board from Didsbury or something hearty from or in our market halls.

Chorlton, we're coming to join you 🎉🍷

We've taken over 510 Wilbraham Road, home of Ed's Tiny's Tipple for the last 14 years. Ed built something really special here, and we're going to keep that going while adding a few touches of our own.

Thank you, Ed, and enjoy Devon ❤️

It'll still be a bottle shop, but we'll also be adding some seating so you can enjoy a drink in too. There'll be plenty of w**es by the glass, you can open any bottle off our shelves for a small corkage fee, and there'll be sharing boards and nibbly bits including cheese from Chorlton Cheesemongers just up the road.

Plus tasting evenings, food collabs and plenty more ideas, we're just itching to get going.

Renovations are under way, and we're aiming to open mid-November-ish (with a stress on the "ish").

🤞 Follow along for sneak peeks and the opening date.

🎃 Halloween at Didsbury

📆 Thurs 29 Oct
⏰ 6:30pm-9:00pm
📍 Burton Rd, Didsbury
🎟️ £45

This year, every w**e James pours comes with a story from history, myth or legend, and not one of them has a happy ending. Swipe for the w**es you'll be tasting.

The stories include:

🧙‍♀️ The bewitching superstitions of northwest Spain
🐺 The werewolf panic that gripped France's
southern national parks

Last remaining tickets for our Cheese & W**e Pairing Evening! 🧀🍷

📆 Thurs 22nd Oct
⏰ 6:30pm – 9:00pm
📍 Burton Rd, West Didsbury
🎟️ £50

Is there a better way to spend next Thursday?! A glass of w**e in hand, a board of cheese in front of you, and our cheese and w**e expert James talking you through each pour.

You'll hear why each w**e works with its cheese, and come away knowing exactly what to pair on your Christmas boards.

And after so many of you asked, the Prototype Zinfandel is back! Never tried it? It's a big, plush Californian red from Lodi: blackberry, black cherry, cocoa and a little black pepper. Kate calls it "proper sofa-and-a-film w**e", and it's delicious paired with a strong cheese.

"When you think of how many w**es are blandarama, without any personality… this is just the opposite." - Kate

Pull up a chair and taste along with Nic and Kate as they open Le Planteur Blanc 2025.

Pouring by the glass in all our w**e bars, come and try it for yourself (we switch out by the glass rotation on 23rd Oct so be quick!).

🍑 See if you can taste the stone fruits and the 4 different grapes which make this w**e so unique!

Everyone’s got a bottle they’re saving for something. 🍾

Bucket List Bottles is our new mini-series. The team share the w**es they’re dreaming of opening, or the ones they’ve already ticked off, and why those bottles matter to them.

First up is Tom, assistant manager at our Didsbury w**e bar and bottle shop.

His pick: Luis Pato Vinhas Velhas Branco 1990.

One of Portugal’s most iconic w**emakers, Luis Pato is one of the pioneers of the Bairrada region. He has been making w**e for 40 years and his youthful energy, experimental nature and quest for quality have remained a constant.

Swipe to hear why it made Tom’s list.

Tom’s still waiting for the right moment to open it. When he does, we’ll tell you whether it was worth the wait!

What’s the one bottle on your bucket list?

Bring your team to our Didsbury tasting room for an evening built entirely around you. James, Tom or one of our expert Didsbury team will pour you five w**es from small, independent producers you won't find on the high street, and tell you exactly why each one earned its place on our shelves.

🎉 Expect your favourites, a few surprises and good times!

Got something else in mind? Tell us what you're into, whether that's b**r, wh**ky or a theme of your own, and we'll do our best to build the night around it.
