Welcome<br />
Hello and welcome to our<br />
new-look wine brochure.<br />
Hopefully, as the summer season<br />
draws to a close, you’ll have<br />
time for some respite, to reflect<br />
on the busy season and give<br />
your staff a well needed rest.<br />
It’s also the perfect time to start<br />
considering your wine list ahead<br />
of Christmas and New Year.<br />
Given the current backdrop<br />
of political uncertainty, rising<br />
inflation, and cost of living<br />
pressures, knowing how to<br />
make the most of your wine<br />
list and deliver the most profit<br />
for your business is essential.<br />
As consumers become more<br />
careful with their spending and<br />
indulgences, making the most<br />
of each sale will help make your<br />
business a success.<br />
Achieving the perfect wine list<br />
may seem like a complex job<br />
that no one has time for but<br />
we’re here to take the pressure<br />
off you with some excellent<br />
offers and some ideas which we<br />
hope you’ll find useful.<br />
In this issue, we’ve included<br />
amazing bin end deals on<br />
fantastic house wines, some<br />
familiar faces in our best offers<br />
section, and interesting articles<br />
written by our very own Wine<br />
Development Managers.<br />
Finally, I would like to bring your<br />
attention to a couple of national<br />
wine days, an excellent excuse<br />
to celebrate and sample some of<br />
our delicious wines. I’ve included<br />
a few of my favourites below.<br />
If you have any questions that<br />

are here at your disposal to<br />
support you and your business.<br />

What I’m drinking...<br />
2<br />
My wine of the moment is<br />
Agustinos Pinot Gris from Chile’s<br />
Bío Bío valley, one of the regions<br />
most southerly vine growing areas.<br />
Pinot Gris is more commonly<br />
known as Pinot Grigio but tends<br />
to be more fruit driven and this<br />
luscious example shows apple<br />
and stone fruit flavours with a hint<br />
of melon all enhanced by some<br />
oak ageing, perfect for al fresco<br />
drinking or as an accompaniment<br />
to Asian-inspired dishes.<br />
What I particularly love about<br />
this hidden gem is how it always<br />
surprises friends, colleagues and<br />
customers and shows what Pinot<br />
Gris is capable of producing;<br />
a great wine for any Pinot Grigio<br />
lover looking to try something new.<br />
