We’ve Expanded Our Booths Wine Range
Written on January 30th, 2020
Our Wine Buyer Victoria has been busy expanding our award-winning range of Booths own wines over the last few months, introducing six new varieties to the range – several of which have won awards already!
When Victoria first joined Booths, one of her first projects was to overhaul our own range of wines, which included looking for new, world-class producers to work with and redesigning the bottle labels. Victoria works closely with each producer of our own brand wines, tasting and benchmarking each wine against others from the same region before making the final selections that end up in our bottles. She reviews each new vintage of wine to ensure that we always bring you the best the region has to offer at an affordable price.
Victoria says:
It’s great to have seen the launch of our new wines go down so well and the feedback we’ve had from our customers has been wonderful. Quality and value are first and foremost in my mind; but it’s also important to look for wines that are a bit different, and we’re pleased to offer a variety of styles from excellent producers, which have begun to win awards already.
