Oldest Loire Vinyard?
Many winedrive vineyards can trace their history back through the centuries, but one of our listings from the Loire dates back to 500BC. It is in the small village of Quincy, not far from the Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire regions. Described as 'drinkable, fresh and fruity', Quincy wines are considered one of the Loire's most elegant, yet are priced from just €6.70.

Other recent listings include award winning Bordeaux wines made from organic or organically grown grapes, and an English owned vineyard in Gascony producing fine Vin de Pays des Cotes de Gascone wines and Floc de Gascogne from just €3.75 to fine Bas-Armagnac at €8.75 to €744.00 for 1.5ltr, 1929 vintage.

UK tax on wine now the highest in Europe....
Buy a £5 bottle of wine in the UK and 53% of the cost is Duty and Vat - you are giving the taxman £2.65 on every bottle. Take off retailer and merchant’s margins, shipping, packaging and marketing, the wine itself is worth less than a pound.

But just a short ferry trip across the Channel, your equivalent £5.00 bottle contains wine worth more than £4.90 after tax. So if you want quality wine without spending a fortune, use our lists and buy direct from the producer.
