Where to buy the extraordinary — from a 320-year-old merchant with two royal warrants to Mayfair's most talked-about wine boutique.
London is one of the world's great fine-wine cities. These are the houses worth visiting in person — as much for the cellars and the expertise as the bottles themselves.
Britain's oldest wine and spirit merchant, trading from the same shop since 1698, with two royal warrants. Shelves span £5 to £5,000, five Masters of Wine, a wine school and cellar-plan storage.
The most talked-about wine project of recent times — 6,500 wines and 3,000 spirits over two floors on Davies Street, with rare bottles and vertical-tasting selections. Enomatic machines let you taste before you buy.
The Piccadilly institution's wine room carries a strong selection of classic champagnes and sparkling wines — and doubles as one of London's great gift destinations.
Whether you're after a grower's grand cru or a mature vintage, London's merchants carry depth you won't find on a supermarket shelf. A few ways to buy well.
From Fortnum's or Berry Bros. — presentation-ready, universally recognised, and hard to get wrong.
Something your friends can't buy at home. Ask any merchant's staff to point you to a small-producer bottle with a story.
Distinctive, increasingly acclaimed, and unmistakably from here. The most characterful bottle to carry out of Britain.
