House & Entry Level Wines

A comprehensive range of House and Entry Level wines is, we believe, absolutely crucial to our customers. We have again reviewed and expanded this area so as to offer you lots of individual wines chosen for their value and drinkability with food or on their own. The attribute of being tasty and attractive to drink without food is important as more and more people use wine as an aperitif.

Entry Level Wines are usually the first entries on your wine list after House Wines. There is a growing tendency for our customers to choose Entry Level Wines, usually from the New World, as their House Wines which is another reason for our increasing number and variety of these wines in this edition. Despite price increases in Australia and Chile, our wine team recommend these wines as very good value especially when compared to many well known brands which are likely to appear in supermarkets and retail outlets.
