For the rest of us who haven't quite got a few thousand to throw on a single bottle of wine we can offer a nice selection of sweet wines at much more reasonable prices. 

The most expensive whisky ever sold went at auction in York yesterday and went for a staggering £288,000!!! wow.

This was a Macallan 64 year old malt whisky in a crystal decanter sold at Sotheby’s & was sold for charity. It has been travelling around the country since April raising money for the water charity until final auctioned yesterday.

We can't sell you a whisky that's this old but you could try our limited edition whisky that was bottle by Macallan for Delmonico's  and is a beautiful 17 year old malt. Available while stocks last.

Flooding in Cornwall overnight brought chaos to traffic, trains and businesses. I must admit I was little worried about the shop as we are in a little dip there in South Street, but our worst fears were unfounded and although a little wet in the back I am assured that the vino is OKAY and the shop still stands & is manned.
