**Burgess & Hall Christmas Wine Offer (Order NOW. Offer ends THURSDAY 16 Dec)**
We have put together some outstanding cases for you this Christmas. These are characterful wines made by some wonderful small, independent producers. Anti-Amazon and anti-supermarket choices; they’re not homogeneous or made on an industrial scale. They’re satisfying and life affirming, something that we all need a little of at the moment. There is a somewhat ‘classic’ feel to our cases: I think we’ve been hankering for something reassuring, but as ever with our Burgess & Hall twist. Quite simply they’re the tastiest wines you can drink over the festive season, and they represent outstanding value for money. Read on for full details. To order email [email protected] and we’ll be in touch to arrange delivery and payment
