About this event
As much as we love Essex’s many great independent wine merchants, we know that most people begin their wine journey in the supermarket. But when you enter the wine aisle you are faced with hundreds of bottles and very little to help you choose which to buy – where do you start?
That’s where Scaling the Wall of Wine comes in. This is is a fun, eye-opening introduction to wine that helps you shop smarter and drink better. You’ll discover what really drives wine prices, how to spot genuine value on the shelf, which regions consistently deliver, and how to get the most enjoyment once the bottle is home. We’ll also highlight where it pays to tread carefully - and where to head next as your wine journey continues.
