2012 Price List

Since I last updated this list we have had another Budget in which duty has increased yet again (cunningly blamed on the last Government) and there has been much talk of minimum pricing of alcohol which, if introduced, will punish the sensible drinkers (like all my customers) as well as the insensible ones.

In this update, I have tried to keep increases to a minimum (some South African wines have even come down in price!).  For the most part, the prices shown represent the worst case scenario and many wines will continue to be offered at pre-Budget rates.  Needless to say, the quality in the bottle is unchanged!

The range on offer has been extended a little and there are lots of new wines.  And the price of the mixed "Sampling" case is actually lower than the last one!

My reduced opening hours still apply and I thank you, most sincerely, for continuing to buy wine at The Trout.  I cannot emphasise often enough that I am always delighted to open up if I am here (and know you are coming!).  The shop can always be "Open" outside the hours shown on the front page but please do telephone if you are thinking of making a visit ‘out of hours’.  I can also be contacted on my mobile - 0777 61 44 333 if you only get an ansaphone message here.

The number of wines offered with screw tops has increased, again, and will continue to do so, I feel sure.  As before, these wines are marked with the initials ST, since I haven't yet found a suitable alternative symbol.


We are delighted to quote prices for delivery to any part of the UK mainland which, wherever possible, will be on our own vehicles but we cannot guarantee either speed or cheapness!  Please do ask - you may be surprised.  See below for details.

Wine continues to be what this list is all about - wine that has been selected because it is interesting, enjoyable and which, while offering good value for money, is not included because it fits an arbitrarily set 'price point'.  Nearly three quarters of the wines in this list fall between £6 and £12 per bottle because this is where, I believe, the best value is to be found.  These are wines that I passionate about - I hope you will share that passion.

Please note:  the discounted prices in the main list apply to mixed and unmixed cases.  And if, heaven forbid, you decide that you do not like a wine bought from us, we will happily exchange unopened bottles.
