WISE CHOICES WHETHER DRINKING OR INVESTING
If good wine is a necessity of life, then a good wine merchant is almost as essential! Their knowledge built up over many decades (and in some cases centuries) of trading is invaluable. A network of long-established contacts across the world means a top wine merchant will have access to the best vintages and rare varieties at the earliest opportunity. Their experts can advise customers on the best buys for all occasions.
But wine merchants are not just for buying wine for drinking. They are valuable allies when it comes to buying wine as an investment and will similarly offer selling services for collectors looking to reduce their stocks and realise some capital.
On the other hand, enthusiasts planning to build their private collection, may want to expand their storage facilities.
The wine merchants here include some of the world's largest purchasers of fine wine, so have a selection that is second to none. We have given just a few examples of the wines held.

With notes of Seville orange, apricot and quince, this beautiful medium-full bodied, sweet, white Muscat is an ideal partner for fruit tart or Roquefort cheese. Ready for drinking or will keep to 2016.
CHURCHILL ESTATES DOURO RED 2007
TANNERS
£10.70
An excellent table wine from Churchill Estates, run by Johnny Graham (of Graham's Port fame). His Douro red has a complex nose, blackberry fruits and a floral hint, the eight months in oak giving rounded tannins. A medium to full-bodied wine.
