They were busy opening their small family-run wine shop in Brighton's Queens Park Road, with the intention of bringing interesting, characterful wines to a British public then largely unfamiliar with much beyond Black Tower and Mateus Rose (historical fact: there were only three good bottles of wine in the whole of the UK in 1979, and all of them belonged to Mick Jagger).

I like all good drinks, in large quantities, shared with nice people. Butlers is in its fourth decade of retail and is a Brighton Institute run by our family of quirky and eclectic staff.

Amazing shop for wine, port, sherry, Madeira, beer and spirits. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Every single transaction is a joy. You don't need to be a wine boffin. Just go in and tell them what you're cooking and they'll match it. I would think you could even tell them your mood and they'll find a wine for you! Simply awesome.
