INDEPENDENT WINE MERCHANT

Pubs, Bars or Clubs

Wines available by the glass

We group these three types of outlet together because of the Food menu similarity and the mix of drinks are similar. The food offerings in Traditional pubs, Sports clubs and bars tend to be more conventional than the Gastro/ restaurant sector. The food orders are usually captured, not with table service, but at the bar or a food counter. This still requires wines to be easily accessible both at the point of order, the bar and the dining tables.

The drinks/ food ratio tends to be more biased towards drinks. The drinks mix having a higher percentage of either soft drinks and/or Long Alcohol Drinks (LADs) namely beer and cider.

Wine sales tend to be under 10% of total wet sales in these bars. For this reason the wine offering needs to be good quality, simple and varietal led and not too pricey.

Because of the competition for Fridge space with soft drinks and bottled lagers care must be taken with the number of white wines on offer.

Wine lists tend to contain six to fifteen reasonably priced wines that can be happily consumed with or without food.
