Real Wine Tasting This Weekend!

Join us for our monthly Wine Tasting This Weekend!

(Saturday 23rd March)

It’s time for our next tasting & this time something a bit different from our normal rotation of countries…

…to tie in with The Real Wine Month promotion we’ll be tasting some individual natural wines from France, Italy, Chile & Argentina.

An increasing number of people are seeking out more minimal intervention, ‘real’ wines from smaller winemakers. Here at The Village Vine, we have always stocked mainly artisan wines from these very producers, although not all would fall under the ‘natural’ wine bracket.

So, it’s great to have a national promotion to support these proud winemakers (wines very unlikely to be found in the supermarkets…!)

Remember, in order to spread the tasting wines evenly, they are limited to 2 btls. (of each) max. purchase on the day, but of course will be available (in varying quantity) thereafter.

As usual we’ll kick-off around 2pm and end up at 7pm. It’s a ‘free, walk-in’ tasting and a good chance to sample something ‘new’, or perhaps a bit different from your normal choice.

We very much hope you can join us this Saturday, if not, pop in soon and see our excellent range. (Including the best range of Local Beers + Cider and premium Spirits & Liqueurs!).

Plus, remember we offer national delivery at competitive rates. (custom-made gift-boxes: 1, 2, 3 btl, or 6/ 12 btl. cases).

Wine Tasting Saturday 16th February!

FREE Wine Tasting: This Saturday in store 2-7pm!

South Africa Fairtrade Wine TastingIt’s time for our next tasting & this time we’re heading back to the New World to look at some great wines from South Africa

Often overlooked by the better-known offerings from Oz & N.Z., wines from this historic wine-producing country arguably produce better value-for-money than the Antipodeans and their wines tend to show a style somewhere between the ‘Old World & the ‘New World’.

We’ll start things off with a new sparkling rosé from our fairtrade producer, Thandi, followed by 2 whites and 2 reds, including a gold medal-winner and a highly rated newcomer from Rustenberg.


Don’t forget to check out all our great Bin-End bargains too …. some cracking offers in store & some not hanging around too long…! The Chapel Hill Chardonnay has already run down!

Remember, in order to spread the wines evenly, they are limited to 2 bottles (of each) max. purchase on the day, but of course will be available (in varying quantity) thereafter.

As usual we’ll kick-off around 2pm and end up at 7pm. It’s a ‘free, walk-in’ tasting and a good chance to sample something ‘new’, or perhaps a bit different from your normal choice.

Wines from New Zealand Wine Tasting, Saturday 12th May!

New Zealand Wine Tasting in Bournemouth and Poole!It’s time for our May Wine Tasting… !

This month we’re staying ‘down-under’ and moving across to the increasingly popular wines of New Zealand. Many of you will be familiar with the rise in popularity of kiwi sauvignon blanc over the last few years…

In fact it has almost become a ‘brand’ in itself as the big chains try and cash in on its achievements. But a lot of it is now mass-produced with high levels of sulphur and additives… (the worst ones are bulk-bottled here in the UK!).

Buy New Zealand Wine Online

As most of you know, we always try and seek out real, characterful wines from smaller, independent producers that are bottled in the region and also have lower levels of sulphur and chemicals.

We’ll be sampling 4 whites and 2 reds from four different regions across the two islands… all different grape varieties and styles… guaranteed to cheer you up during this very wet spring… (‘tho looks a bit better this w/end..)…

Something to suit all palates I hope!

Remember, in order to spread the wines evenly, they are limited to 2 bottles (of each) max. purchase on the day, but of course will be available (in varying quantity) thereafter. Don’t forget all wines will be 10% off on the day.
