While supermarkets and high street off licence chains offer a large quantity of wines and spirits, there is rarely much realistic choice beyond average drinkable but seemingly well priced wines. Perhaps the most profound difference is the lack of knowledgeable staff on hand to help with your choice.
A good independent wine merchant comes into his own at this point. His understanding of wines, familiarity with their stock and expertise at matching wines with your expectation and budget is why it is an excellent idea to buy from a reputable independent merchant.
Ken Norman of the Cotswold Wine Company has over 35 years experience of the wine trade. During times of economic uncertainty and fluctuating wine prices, it is a comfort to know that Ken can still find a jolly good bottle of wine for a fiver.
The Cotswold Wine Company’s extensive wine list runs to some 1,600 labels but it is time consuming to leaf through when all you might want is really good everyday wine, be it Red, White or Rosé or Sparkling. So, we have selected around 60 of the best bottles and devised a quick list to suit all budgets. The quick list will change to suit the season or to include new wines and we will make recommendations when we find something really special. Ever conscious of the price of simply enjoying oneself in the present economic climate, we are delighted to offer a 25% discount on our full case price (12 bottles), while mixed cases attract a 15% discount.

Our complete wine list is always available and one of the best ways to access it is to speak to Ken. He can ascertain your preferences and offer alternatives to the quick list, including fine wines, sparklers, beers, spirits and mixers. We also love Belvoir Pressés, Dorset Ginger and Bensons pure fruit juices, all of which we can supply by the case.
For larger gatherings, we can supply a complete bar service, from staff to ice and glasses by the case load – they’re free to hire, with no deposit required and we’ll even wash them too.
