Key Suppliers: Alliance Wine... & Others

What Styles of wine are most of your customers looking for?

'We recently put on an Italian wine dinner featuring wines from Tommasi, and since then sales of things like the Lugana Le Fornaci, which is quite an unusual little white wine, have just gone through the roof because people who attended have been asking for it the next time they are in. It's quite nice to be able to show different wines to people.'

Is there an upper limit on what customers will spend on wine?

'…We did have a Sassicaia on at £110 and that sold well, but the upper limit for Australia would be about £55. I tasted some really great wines from Suckfizzle recently…'
