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.Aldereley Edge - Thursday 12th August

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.Aldereley Edge - Thursday 9th September

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.Alderley Edge - Thursday 14th October
