English Wine Week 2019
English Wine Week 2019 runs from 25 May to 2 June, and we are so excited about celebrating all things English!
In this hub, we've suggested some tips and tricks to make the most of the week, gathered some great English wine content, and even listed some of the brilliant things our customers will be doing throughout the week and the entire month of May.
What can you be doing
There are so many ways you can get on board with English wine week, but here are a few ideas to start you off.
- This one's simple. Talk to people about English wine!
- Offer an exclusive by the glass option
- Create an eye-catching display
- Alternative serves – English Royale anyone?
- Go full force on social media, the more English wine snaps the better!
- Do tasting flights
- Host an unmissable event (#Englishfizzandchips night...)
- Get the producers in! A big benefit of stocking local products is the opportunity to meet the makers.

A gastronomic love affair began young, when this caviar adoring child ended up chasing Michelin stars as an adolescent. Many meals later, a wine obsession grew. Now she’s learning fast and delving into the wine world with ambition and a great passion, writing, taking pictures and tasting where she can. @lottiejlevy
