Wine Refills
Delicious wine - great value for money - kinder to the environment.
We have an evolving range of 5 high-quality wines available by the glass or bottle (to drink in or take away) which come in environmentally-friendlier key kegs, and are served 'on-tap'.
Examples include Rosé from Provence, New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and Italian Primitivo. The wines usually arrive in 20 litre key kegs - saving the equivalent on 27 glass bottles. This equates to 16kg less glass and 1.6kg less cardboard weight in the shipping of the wine, and a 50% reduction in the storage footprint of the same volume of wine in bottles.
As with our entire range of wines, they are tasted by Del before we choose to stock them, and we expect the same high quality as we do from our bottled wines. The benefit with key keg packaged wines are many; not only are they lighter to ship and so better for the environment, the keg is inert and so doesn't change the quality or taste of the wine. If anything it keeps the wine even fresher.
Another benefit is that, as the key kegs are reusable and recyclable, they are cheaper glass-for-glass than the same wine in a traditional glass bottle - a saving which is passed on to you when you choose a keg wine in the bar.
Since we opened, the keg wines have proved increasingly popular with our customers, who not only drink them in the bar, but choose to buy one of our refillable 750ml bottles and take the wine home to enjoy. We provide bottles at a one-off cost of £3, but you are welcome to bring your own bottle to fill as long as it has the volume noted one it.
In 2024, our customers drank 520 litres of keg wine, equivalent to 693 bottles or 2966 175ml glasses.
The nature of the key kegs means that once poured, the shelf life of the wine is around 5 days, and as such we aren't able to offer them through the website, but next time you find yourself in the bar, ask for a taster, or dive in to a glass!
