Half-bottles
Often overlooked, half bottles are ideal for mid-week drinking and offer the chance to drink finer wine at a lower price (albeit in half the quantity, but that is quite possibly a good thing)! We have a wide selection of halves of red wine, white wine, champagne and sherry to buy online or in our shops. Our case discount applies on any 24 (mixed) bottles or more.
