Canti Negroamaro-Zinfandel Puglia IGT

NOW that we are all trying to shop local and support our bakers and butchers spare a thought for your local wine merchant.

Small independent wine shops simply cannot compete with the buying power of the large supermarket chains, but where they can compete is on expertise and quality.

Not every supermarket has a wine expert on hand to advise every customer but this is something you can expect from your local off licence, as well as (usually) a larger selection of wines.
