France
Magnificent vintage in 2000, followed by another one in 2001 makes Southern France a tremendous source for well priced, well made wines.

Europe
Italy continues to offer such a diverse range of wines and styles that it often seems, to the consumer, a daunting and intimidating proposition. As well as the proven names we offer a range of lesser kmown wines from small producers that are well worth an experiment.
The story of Spain is too often the story of Rioja. There are a number of other wine varieties available including the ever bubbly Cava. Overall its' wines continue to make improvements and win friends.

Australia is challenging France for the No.1 slot in the UK wine market. We are proud to launch Moondarra as a new and exciting range. Hawkes Run, Sam's Island and Double Bay have gone. We welcome on to the list Jacob's Creek, Australia's leading wine brand.
New Zealand is a relatively small country which produces an astonishing range of wine varieties and styles. Most vineyards are situated in coastal areas, warmed by clear sunlight during the day, cooledat night by the sea breezes. These factors promote maximum grape ripeness with high levels of fruit and varietal intensity, flavour and elegance. Rated as a cool climate wine country, it nevertheless has regions which benefit from high concentrations ofwarmth and light from the sun.
