To allow for social distancing measures we are unfortunately not able to offer any of these services until further notice. We apologise for any disappointment this may cause.
The tasting area
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.

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

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.

WINE OF THE MONTH

'Dirt Track' Cinsault by Duncan Savage, Swartland 2018
ref SA14891, £7.95 per bottle in store, or here
As we march into spring, I felt I wanted to put forward a wine this month that would again help with any shift in season; equally suited to warmer days but perfectly ok should wintry chills linger.
Duncan Savage's 'Dirt Track' Cinsault is just the wine. Rarely found as a varietal, cinsault seems to have missed out on the limelight. However, this South African number goes some way to increasing its appeal. For me, it offers up a ripe red cherry palate with smooth smoky spice all wrapped up with soft tannins.
Light enough to be sipped of an evening it would benefit from a fleeting fridge-door visit, chilled this wine would be great with salmon but also has the fruit to handle heartier fare as I can testify when it was paired perfectly with my chipotle-infused vegetable chilli.
An everyday trouble-free option, in my opinion, to either see us out of winter or into spring. Great, whatever the season.
