Firstly, it’s always good to know as much about the person you’re buying for as possible.  If they genuinely do love wine, chances are they will love sparkling, red, white and dessert wines so you have plenty of scope to find a gift that will delight.  We are all keen wine lovers and always happy to help.

For the connoisseur of classic wines, look no further than France.  With so many different areas and styles of wine within this one country, there are bound to be plenty of wines they will love.  The French Classics case would go down a storm and provides a really interesting case that shows the diversity and charm of this country.  TheLuxury Duo and the Burgundy Duos are also well worth considering and would make a very thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys their wine.  If it’s a very special gift you’re after, perhaps wine that would be appropriate for ageing is what you’re looking for.  Age-worthy wines are at the top end of the quality scale requiring a great deal of expense, care and attention in the winery hence the prices are correspondingly higher.  A 6 pack of Roc de Cambes 2009 from Bordeaux would set you back £298 but would give drinking pleasure for perhaps another 20 years (if they can wait that long).

A Premium New World case would make a gorgeous gift for someone who loves really good new world wines – or for someone who wants to explore them.  Actually, the wines are so good; I defy anyone not to like them.  These wines have deliciously warm, ripe fruit flavours and the quality is outstanding.

For someone who is really getting into wine and is keen to learn more about it, our wines by style would make the perfect gift.  Four styles are available from crisp winter whites to full bodied reds.  If you don’t know what they like, what about a ticket to our one day introductory wine course in January?

If you don’t want to choose the wines yourself, any wine lover will very much appreciate the chance to come here and browse the shelves themselves so a gift voucher will go down a storm.  We also have a series of fine wine evenings in January – a real treat for the wine lover on your shopping list.
