At Beckford Bottle Shop we tend not to bend to trendy whims, but rather look in the forgotten corners of the wine shop cupboard, where there is value to be had. Your grandma's ears might prick up when she hears that you're pouring Madeira at Christmas, but that's because she has great taste, and you should listen to her more often.

 

A tasty sherry, a light rosé, a timeless Sauternes, a field blend from Northern Italy, a festive Bordeaux and Madeira, perfect with a helping of Christmas cake. Case contents:
