The Berthier family have been winegrowers for five generations, with Clement and Florian taking over the reins in 2012 to continue the family tradition. Clement is responsible for winemaking and sales, while Florian is focused on the vineyards. Coteaux du Giennois, located northwest of Pouilly-Fume on the right bank of the Loire river, is the family's flagship appellation. Here, the terroir composed mainly of flint, limestone, and marl, ideal for expressive and exotic Sauvignon Blanc. The wine opens up with aromas of white flowers, citrus, and exotic fruits such as gooseberries, kiwi and passionfruit, with a lovely softness and elegance on the palate.

Imported from France, this is a great value Vodka that is absolutely perfect for many cocktail recipes including the traditional Caprioska.

BOLS Strawberry is a rich, striking red liqueur, expressing a powerful but not over sweet strawberry flavour, edged with a slight citrus tang. Unbelievable as it sounds, the vast majority of cocktail bars had no strawberry liqueurs to speak of. Until comparatively recently, bartenders were forced to resort to use poor quality syrups and premixes. With the launch of Bols Strawberry, which contains fresh strawberry juice, bartenders finally have a real strawberry liqueur to add to their drinks. Strawberry, like raspberry, is a very popular, modern cocktail flavour, featuring mostly in strawberry versions of the margarita, martini and the daiquiri.

Noilly Prat is the most famous of all Vermouths, a dry, straw-hued vermouth from the of southern France.

BOLS Crème de Cassis is an authentic dark red blackcurrant liqueur made using an infusion of blackcurrants grown near Dijon, the main town in Burgundy, France, where the product was invented. In Japan, Crème de Cassis & soda is one of the most frequently requested longdrinks in bars and clubs. Bols Crème de Cassis works especially well in drinks containing sour elements (such as lemon or lime juice) and is a superb addition to drinks containing forest fruit purees such as strawberry or raspberry. Most widely used as a mix with white wine, champagne or dry vermouth.

Sainte Louise Napoleon French Brandy is a blend of French grape brandies which have matured in oak casks until reaching bottling age. Beautiful aroma, full bodied and smooth. Enjoy neat or with your favourite mixer.

This irresistible black beauty is made from fabulously intense Shiraz and Grenache grapes grown on the craggy hillsides of France's Roussillon region. Look up from the vines and you will see ruins of castles perching precariously on rocky peaks. This inhospitable landscape and these ancient strongholds were home to medieval Cathars who lived in awe of evil god Rex Mundi ('King of the World'). He corrupted the faithful with promises of earthly pleasures and the forbidden delights of mortal flesh. Don't even try to resist, just sip and enjoy this lusciously ripe, juicy marriage of liquorice scented Shiraz and lush, silken Grenache. Gloriously easy to quaff on its own, it also goes well with barbecued meats, Cajun chicken or lamb chops.

We have offered this exemplary wine for over two decades and the multitude of awards over the years – and the 5-Star reviews – speak volumes. It is our bestselling sparkler by a mile. Roche Lacour winemaker Viviane Gianesini works her magic beneath the cool hills of Limoux. Here, the monks of Saint Hilaire are said to have mastered sparkling wine methods in 1531, centuries ahead of Dom Pérignon. Bottles back then were fragile and didn’t travel, so their success remained a secret. The cuvée is rich in Chardonnay and Pinot Noir – like Champagne – and nearly half the wine is oak fermented – just like Krug! It’s an expensive technique (so rarely practised) yet important for depth and complexity. Enjoy on its own or with deserving canapés.

As close as you get to genuine Châteauneuf power – and with a Gold medal pedigree too, winning Gold for the last eight vintages. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre are the three mainstays of this champion that boasts layers of velvety ripe black fruit, liquorice and spicy complexity. It's from the only co-operative cellar in Châteauneuf du Pape, the top appellation of the southern Rhône, and is owned and run by local growers. The grapes are from vineyards that abut the famous name appellation and share the same stone strewn soil that promotes superb ripeness and richness of fruit. The vines are old and gnarled, producing few grapes but with rare concentration of flavour. It's made by Châteauneuf winemaker Thierry Ferlay ... and it's very, very good!
