The liphook shop is the original shop opened back in 1986 and has remained the backbone of the company allowing us a route to the community around us.

Tucked neatly into the village, it manages to balance "serious wine authority" with "approachable local corner shop". You don't need a master's degree in sommelier-speak to walk through the door; the staff are as happy helping you pick a £10 midweek pizza-night red as they are dusting off a prized vintage for a milestone birthday.

While the walls are lined with hundreds of global wines—ranging from small-batch organic vineyards to classic Bordeaux—the shop also doubles as a treasure trove for niche spirits, artisanal beers, ciders, and premium cigars.

A longtime local secret is their free glass loan service. If you’re hosting a village bash, they’ll lend you proper wine and champagne glasses so you aren't reduced to serving Premier Cru in plastic picnic cups.

In short, it’s the kind of village staple where you pop in "just to grab one bottle for dinner" and somehow leave 20 minutes later with a story about a small Italian vineyard and three bottles of the best craft gin you'll ever drink.
