PIEDMONT’S ARISTOCRATIC ANSWER
While the red giants of Barolo often hog the spotlight, the true authority of the Piedmont table is found in the limestone ridges of Gavi. This is a wine of startling clarity and steely focus. Crafted from the Cortese grape, it possesses a sophisticated, structural bone that outclasses the mundane and thrives amidst the beautiful chaos of a long, salt-flecked dinner.
It is the definitive choice for those who demand more from their glass - a terroir-driven white with a saline minerality sharp enough to cut through the richest Genovese pesto and the freshest coastal catch.
BRILLIANT BOTTLES, ALWAYS UNDER £15
Over the years we've tasted thousands of bottles so you don't have to waste a penny.
This range provides a daily selection of genuinely exciting wines to please the palate and the pocket. They can be enjoyed year-round in any number of situations and are certainly ideal for more regular drinking occasions
Explore unique, family-made wines without ever spending over £15. It's quality and confidence, served affordably!
GIFTING WITHOUT COMPROMISE
Buying wine for someone who truly understands it is a perilous game. Do not risk guessing their palate or picking the wrong vintage. Give them the cellar keys instead.
The Hic! Gift Card is an all-access pass to our expertly selected shelves. Available instantly as a digital e-card for immediate delivery, or available in store as a premium physical edition for the ultimate presentation.
Let them choose their own definitive wine experience.
THE WINE LIST. WITHOUT THE CORKAGE
Most "Restaurant Wines" never make it to retail shelves. However, as we work alongside the UK's top shippers, we are able to secure allocations usually reserved for Michelin stars and luxury lists. Consequently, the icons are finally available to take home.
THE SUNDAY UPGRADE.
Sunday lunch is sacred. It’s the one meal of the week where we actually slow down and do things properly.
So why ruin a glorious rib of beef or slow-roasted lamb with compromise wine?
We’ve expertly selected the definitive list of bottles built for big flavours. From velvet Riojas to brooding Rhône reds, these are wines designed to be decanted, shared, and savoured. Pour something that justifies the cooking time.

FINE & RARE GLOBAL ICONS
Our Fine & Rare collection is a window into the world of truly iconic, age-worthy and impossibly scarce wine - all sourced with the same independent spirit and zero pretension that defines our everyday pour.
These are the bottles with lineage, the "Unicorns" born from exceptional vintages, miniscule production, or a radical, uncompromising producer. Each one is a chapter in wine history, ready to be uncorked.
Verified Provenance: Every single bottle is sourced directly from the winery or their official agent and as such are confident in the quality of storage and the authenticity of the pour.
The Radical Classics: You'll find the obligatory, world-class names here (yes, we get the classics!), but our true joy is highlighting the rising stars and independent legends - wines that deliver three times the quality without the ego tax of a famous label.
Ready to Drink: We focus on wines that are perfectly cellared and ready to be enjoyed now, or that have the structure to evolve over the next decade. These aren't just investments; they are experiences.
