Wine delivery
Nothing But The Grape Wine supply delicious organic and vegan wines across the South of England and we are lucky enough to have one of the directors, Emma Froy, in the next village to Symondsbury. So please take the opportunity to order some of her wine and we can ensure it’s ready and waiting for your arrival, fizz nicely chilled and wines at the right temperature to open immediately.
Contact Emma at least 10 days before arrival to choose your wines, all selected from excellent family-run vineyards. A number of the wines are imported exclusively by Nothing But The Grape into the UK and none are available in supermarkets. All are organic, so low in sulphites and preservatives: not only better for you, but also the environment.
