Welcome to Gourmet Wales' hand selected wine cellar and drink section. Although Wales has a growing reputation for fine wines we have handpicked some very special wines from other areas of the world to compliment the rest of our offering, much tasting has been done. All of our other drinks ranges are 100% Welsh from fine spring water to quality whiskey, not forgetting some great beers and ciders from our ever growing cottage industry.
Welcome to Gourmet Wales' wine cellar, we have enjoyed picking some of these great value wines from around the world as drinking these wines is a passion as well as an education. We have included some award winning wines from Wales as well as some fine examples from the more well known countries with the sole aim of letting you experience wines of the finest quality from small producers that really care.
What would we do without it? Like all over the UK the growth in these small selected breweries is continually growing in Wales, we have selected some of our favourites to share with you. Watch this space as we are continuously looking for new entries to this section that meet our high tasting standards.
Probably due to our Irish cousins just across the water Cider is becoming more and more popular for all of us and due to this increased popularity, small independent brewers are popping up all over Wales. We have selected a few for you to try, once tried we think you may move away from those big Irish brands.
Like the other Celtic nations, Wales has a long history of spirit distillation. It may even have started as far back as the 4th century AD, when a man known as Reaullt Hir was allegedly distilling on Bardsey Island off the north Wales coast. Although Wales may not have the variety that Scotland has, we are still proud of what we have to offer in terms of Welsh Whisky, Welsh Gin, Welsh Vodka and of course the odd liqueur. Take a look at what we have to offer from the unusual Welsh Mead to the more traditional whiskys, you will not be disappointed.
