The tasting area

Enomatic wine-dispensing machine

Our tasting area features two Enomatic wine-dispensing machines, which serve samples of wines at perfect temperature for our visitors to try. The two machines each hold eight bottles – one features anyday selections from our current offers and bin-ends, and the other gives you a chance to sample some of our most expensive fine wines without needing to buy a whole bottle! To taste wines in the fine-wine machine, you can buy a tasting card and pay to charge it with credit – the machine lists the price for each sample of fine wine. If you would like to know the current selection of wines before you visit, please email showroom@thewinesociety.com




NEW: Wine on Tap!

We have an exciting new development happening in The Cellar Showroom. Bringing our growers closer to our members and doing our bit to help reduce carbon footprint, we are trialling a new service, offering you the chance to purchase wine by the refillable bottle from our good friends at Gloucestershire-based Three Choirs.

We are offering a fresh dry white and off-dry fruity rosé blended especially for us by winemaker Martin Fowke at Three Choirs. Your first purchase includes the price of a refillable bottle (£8.50), thereafter, you can come in and fill up as many times as you like for a just £7.50.

Our staff will be on hand to help you and pour the wines and answer any questions.

[2] Three Choirs White Blend 2018
A fresh, aromatic dry white blend bursting with youthful gooseberry and apple flavours. The perfect aperitif to enjoy within three days of purchase. 11%
ref EN1441 £7.50 (£8.50 initial purchase including bottle)

[3] Three Choirs Rosé Blend 2018
A delicious off-dry rosé brimming with strawberry and cherry fruit flavours, perfect on its own but with enough weight to accompany all manner of party food. 11%
ref EN1451 £7.50 (£8.50 initial purchase including bottle)

We look forward to hearing what you think of this new idea!

Spiral Cellar

If you've visited us before, you'll know our Showroom has its very own spiral cellar, visible through a stylish glass door in the floor next to our Vintage Room. This state-of-the-art cylindrical wine storage unit was installed for us by Spiral Cellars, the leading UK supplier of this type of storage. Three metres deep, and with space for about 1,800 bottles, its insulation and ventilation systems keep wine at optimum levels of temperature and humidity. Access is via the horizontal glass door, operated via a switch on the wall.

If you'd like more information about Spiral Cellars, or would like to see one for yourself, pay us a visit and we'll be happy to show you around. If you like what you see, it could be well worth your while!

Buy a Spiral Cellar and start stocking it right away with a wine credit of £250!

1,800 bottles may sound like a tall order, but as a Society member, you can get the ball rolling right away with a reward of £250 when you purchase your unit. This generous thank-you from Spiral Cellars will take the form of a credit on your Society Share and, of course, we have no shortage of wonderful bottles you'll be able to spend it on!

Please contact Member Services for more information.

Wedding tastings

The Showroom team has helped hundreds of members organise the wine for their weddings or other large events. We'd be happy to advise on wine selection, budgets, quantities and food-and-wine matching. Book an appointment by emailing your telephone number to showroom@thewinesociety.com and one of the team will give you a call back. Please contact us as early as possible before the big day so we can plan ahead and provide you with the best possible service.




Advice

The Showroom team is well qualified help you with any wine queries, whether you're looking for special bottles for anniversaries or a wine to match a particular dish.

Come in and talk to them in person or send an email.


Glass hire

Members can borrow trays of glasses from the Showroom for parties and large gatherings at no charge. The tulip-shaped ISO tasting glasses are suitable for all styles of wine and are ideal for wine tastings, and; tumblers and Champagne flutes are also available.

Members need to collect the glasses themselves and return them washed to the Showroom.

WINE OF THE MONTH

Rosso Piceno, Tenute Pieralisi 2016

Rosso Piceno, Tenute Pieralisi 2016

ref IT26511, £8.50 per bottle in store, or here

The shortest month of the year can throw up either snow or snowdrops; sometimes both! Officially still winter, there is however a feeling that we are emerging from hibernation with March and the promise of spring just around the corner.

Wine wise I am continuing with my mission to try new things. This time I have chosen a popular country but a region that maybe not everyone is familiar with, and a wine that warrants more acclaim. Rosso Piceno, Tenute Pierlisi 2016 is a red from central Italy’s Marche region.

The wine is a blend of two grapes known to produce Italian favourites – montepulciano and sangiovese. For me the sum is, a full-flavoured berry and herb-laden red with subtle oak notes and a smooth a fresh finish. Great with casseroles popular at this time of year, but also easy enough to sip on its own.

At under £9.00, this is wine I am sure I will be drinking outside of February’s 29 days.

Here’s to Marche… sorry… Berry nice!

4.4. Cookie Policy

By using The Wine Society website, you agree to cookies being used in accordance with the policy outlined below. If you do not agree to this, you must alter your browser settings to turn off cookies or block those types which are unacceptable to you or cease using the website.

The Wine Society uses cookies to enable easy navigation and shopping on the website. We take the privacy of all who use our website very seriously and ensure that our use of cookies complies with current EU legislation. The following guide outlines what cookies are, the types of cookies used on The Society's website and how they work.

You may alter your browser settings to turn off cookies or block those types which are unacceptable to you, but this will cause difficulties when accessing and using some areas of the site. Instructions on how to do this can also be found below.

4.4.1. What are 'Cookies'?

  • Most major websites use cookies.
  • A cookie is a very small data file placed on your hard drive by a web page server. It is essentially your access card, and cannot be executed as code or deliver viruses. It is uniquely yours and can only be read by the server that gave it to you.
  • Cookies cannot be used by themselves to identify you.
  • The purpose of a basic cookie is to tell the server that you returned to that web page or have items in your basket. Without cookies, websites and their servers have no memory. A cookie, like a key, enables swift passage from one place to the next.
  • Without a cookie every time you open a new web page the server where that page is stored will treat you like a completely new visitor.
  • More recently, cookies have also been used to collect information about the user which allows a profile of their preferences and interests to be created so that they can be served with interest-based rather than generic information about available goods and services.

4.4.2. How do Cookies help The Wine Society?

Cookies allow our website to function effectively. Cookies also help us to arrange content to match your preferred interests more quickly. We can learn what information is important to our visitors, and what isn't.

4.4.3. How does The Wine Society use cookies?

The Wine Society does not accept advertising from third parties and therefore, as a rule, does not serve third-party cookies. Exceptions to this include performance/analytical cookies (see below), used anonymously to improve the way our website works, the provision of personalised recommendations, and occasions when we may team up with suppliers to offer special discounts on goods or services.

The Society uses technology to track the patterns of behaviour of visitors to our site.

4.4.4. What type of cookies does The Wine Society use?

We use the following three types of cookies:

4.4.4.1. Strictly Necessary Cookies
These cookies are required for the operation of our website, enabling you to move around the website and use its features, such as accessing secure areas of the website. Without these cookies, services like shopping baskets or e-billing cannot be provided. Under this heading, we currently use the following cookies:

  • Authentication Cookie and Anonymous Cookie
    These cookies remember that you are logged in to your account – without them, the website would repeatedly request your login details with each new page you visit during your time on our website. They are removed once your session has ended.
  • Session Cookie
    These cookies are used to remember who you are as you use our site: without them, the website would be unable to tell the difference between you and another Wine Society member and facilities such as your basket and the checkout process would therefore not be able to function. They too are removed once your session has ended.

These cookies are used to recognise you when you return to our website and to provide enhanced features. This allows us to personalise our content for you. Under this heading, we currently use the following cookies:

    • record your visit to the website, the pages you have visited and the links you have followed. We use this information to make our website, the content displayed on it and direct marketing communications we may send to you or contact you about more relevant to your interests.
    • This cookie expires after 13 months.
  • Peerius Cookies
    These third-party cookies are used to provide you with personalised recommendations based on your purchase and browsing history. They expire within 4 hours of your visit.

4.4.4.3. Performance/analytical cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use a website, for instance which pages visitors go to most often, and if they get error messages from web pages. These cookies don't collect information which identifies a visitor. All information these cookies collect is aggregated and therefore anonymous. It is only used to improve how a website works. Under this heading, we currently use the following cookies:

  • Google Analytics Cookies
    These are third-party cookies to enable Google Analytics to monitor website traffic. All information is recorded anonymously. Using Google Analytics allows The Society to better understand how members use our site and monitor website traffic.

4.4.4.4. Authentication Cookie
In order for us to ensure that your data remains secure it is necessary for us to verify that your session is authentic (i.e. it has not been compromised by a malicious user). We do this by storing an otherwise meaningless unique ID in a cookie for the duration of your visit. No personal information can be gained from this cookie.

4.4.5. How do you turn cookies off?
