Introducing our new campaign message and branding...

Our campaign message 'Create New Traditions’ references both the past and future. Our wines are inspired by tradition, not bound by it. It’s time to make the switch and Drink English/Welsh Wine.

[George Hill Wine @GeorgeHillWine]

New dates added to our tasting calendar 🗓

There will be more info about each one soon, so keep your 👀 open. In the meantime, you can register your interest and request more info by messaging us here.

Save the date folks!

On Sunday 26th November we will be opening our shop for a day of Festive Shopping! 🎄
You can come and have a wander around, get some stocking fillers, some treats for your Christmas table (never too early for that!!), gifts for loved ones and employees

[George Hill Wine @GeorgeHillWine]

It's official #winelovers
The one and only Festival of Wines is an great excuse to come and taste some of the products we sell, have a chat with the producers/ suppliers and find some new favourites to add to your wine rack. It's a great evening if we say so ourselves😉

Today marks a tough day for #wine & #spirit businesses & consumers as @hmtreasury's punishing new alcohol tax regime kicks in

📈20%/44p on wine 🍷
📈10%/76p on spirits 🍸🥃
Tax will increase on 88% of still wine 🍷

@GOVUK📢It's not simpler or fairer😠

@GeorgeHillWine @CasasilvaVina This is an incredible desert wine! I was really impressed with its versatility accompanying a cheese board. Not only pairing well with blue cheeses but severely harder cheeses too.

Also, don’t shoot me, I know it’s June, but it is wonderful with Christmas puddings too!!

[People's Choice Drinks Awards #wine #spirits @PCDrinksAwards]

How do our consumer and industry judges choose winning wines and spirits? Through 'blind-tasting', where all of the bottles, bags, boxes and cans are covered to hide their labelling!

[The Wine Guy @joethewineguy]

#winehacks really easy way to chill white wine quickly

[The Wine Guy @joethewineguy]

Another good mornings judging at the #greattasteawards 28 different spirit, liqueurs and premixed cocktails so far. Looking forward to more this afternoon

Starting the year with a cracking offer: B&G Viognier and Cabernet Sauvignon are our #WineofTheMonth for January. Is there a better way to start the year than with an amazing glass of #viognier or juicy #cabernetsauvigon?
The offer is valid until the end of the month, as usual 🍷
