At Perry’s we are truly passionate about our wines. Matt our wine buyer spent 4 years selling wines to top London restaurants. He is a published wine writer and has worked in wineries in this country and in Australia, so he ought to be able to put together a pretty respectable wine list.
We are delighted that our wine list has been recognised by both Michelin and the AA Restaurant Guide for it's outstanding selection and value for money.
We are planning to host several wine events throughout the year: tutored tastings, wine makers dinners, and themed evenings. Please click on the menu pages and follow the links on the right to see what we're up to.
We believe passionately that restaurants charge too much for more expenive wines. As a business, we need to make a healthy margin in order to pay for our overheads, but there is no justification for making an excessive margin on a wine that costs a lot in the first place.
Therefore, our policy is a flat cash margin above a set price point (which incidently is at around the price of a bottle of Chablis). So for any pound that you spend above that price, the money goes straight into the quality of the wine in your glass and not into our pockets. We hope that this helps you to trade up with confidence, and try some of the finer and more unusual wines on the list.
Check out the comparisons below with a couple of restaurants also noted for their wine lists. The Hotel du Vin in Winchester needs no introduction. Their 'bistro' restaurant is renowned for its wine list and relaxed atmosphere. Cantina Vinopolis in Borough Marketis a relaxed 'Modern European' dining room in the old wine vaults. The AA Restaurant guide describes their wine list as offering 'great value'.
