What a superb experience. I was looking for a very specific wine for my birthday and ended up phoning a few shops. Like many other shops, they didn’t have it in store/stock. Unlike all other shops, they offered to order it and managed to deliver it to my door with plenty of days to spare. Anthony provided fabulous customer experience throughout.

I had placed an order online which would have been delivered free but I rang Petersfield shop to ask if I could collect to keep selection a surprise for my long-suffering husband 😉! Anthony was very helpful and re-arranged my order immediately and gift wrapped the item. Efficient friendly service from a wine supplier with an excellent selection of goods. Highly recommended.

The staff are extremely helpful and very knowledgeable about everything from the distilling processes to the tasting notes on all the spirits and wines they sell. The best selection of spirits for miles around

I took advantage of the lockdown offer. Wine was delivered just over an hour after booking. As always they were very helpful on the phone & and helped me choose. I'm sure wine will be good as always has been from here.

Fab service!! I asked for a delivery by a certain date, last minute, as I ordered a gift and it arrived 2 days early. Great communication and free delivery is a bonus, thank you!

I've only ever made very quick visits here to pick up English sparkling wine for the train, so haven't had a chance to browse properly, but both times they came up trumps, and they seem to reliably have Hambledon in the fridge.

If you want great wine or spirits, great advice service and price to suit your wallet. Come here. Never disappointed in any recommendation made. My taste in spirit is as varied as my music. Classical to metal. Sake and sauternes to Islay and merlot. A beautiful plumb sake and a fine whisky at Christmas adorn my table and both in their own way exceptional. Chosen by the fine staff here. Totally recommend.

Great selection of wines and beers, good prices, helpful and friendly staff with good suggestions. Went there twice while holidaying in the area and bought great beer and wine. And had a good chat with the owner too.
