What's On

 Wine & Spirit Tastings

Our tastings each month are a great way to find out a little more about wine and spirits - they will take place in all five stores and will usually be themed on a particular grape variety, country or region. An opportunity to try new things, find out a little more about what's in your glass and have some fun.

Tasting Event Gift Vouchers - Why not treat someone from as little as £10.00! There are three options, and they can be redeemed against any of the tastings scheduled throughout the year, at any of the stores....

AUGUST

Chill Out Red’s for Summer

Most feel that summer is a time for whites and rosés rather than reds, however, there are some fantastic reds that are just perfect for summer drinking and go perfectly with summer dishes, such as cold meats, char-grilled fish and vegetables, not to mention a host of salads and BBQ dishes.

SEPTEMBER

Classic Alternatives

Do you normally go for something quite recognisable, such as Chablis, Rioja, Chateauneuf du Pape, Chianti or Champagne? Well, this is your opportunity to find the perfect alternative at a much more realistic price. Quite often you are paying for the marketing of the brand name and believe me there are some fantastic substitutes out there.

Organic Wines

Organic Wine Week brings us the opportunity to show you some of our favourite wines by this method. We will also be showing some Biodynamic wines too and explaining the difference between the two as well as why many of the wine makers are choosing this way to grow grapes and take the practices further into their winery.

OCTOBER

Nothing strange about Portugal

Portugal has always been difficult for customers to really explore and I think sometimes stuck in a rut! However, if you thought it was all heavy tannins and dry fruit, it’s time to try again! The new modern Portugal is full of surprises, not to mention a lot more choice.

Our Charity Raffle

Every year Corks Out supports a charity, and in the past 5 years we have helped both local and national causes. Last year we supported both Prostate and Breast Cancer and were raising money in various different ways, through in-store promotions, auctions, and awareness events. We raised over £1000 and at the end of last year we split the amount evenly between the two charities. This years chosen charity is British Heart Foundation and we hope, through similar promotions, events and raffles that we can do the same again for a very important charity. If you have a charity that you feel needs supporting please let us know, we get lots of requests and put them all in a hat at the end of the year to help us choose.
