Don't Go Without

As lent kicks off we know some of you may be about to start another "Dry Spell", a trend that seems to be becoming increasingly popular. As a result, we have seen increased demand for non-alcoholic wines. Thankfully, the quality of non-alcoholic wines has increased dramatically in recent years, and we've quite the selection to help you not break your promise.

We've just added two brand new premium, alcohol-free sparkling wines from Wild Idol to our portfolio; it is an exciting new range which is blended and bottled in England from high-quality grapes sourced from the Rheinhessen in Germany.

In addition to the new sparkling wines, we have a red, white and rosé non-alcoholic wine from Kolonne, founded by friends Moritz & Philip, they have been turning the non-alcoholic wine market upside down since 2018 and an old favourite.

If Dry Lent isn't your thing, fear not, we still have all your favourite wines in stock, including a large selection of half bottles for those with good intentions.
