BOTTL’s aim is to make wine a healthy part of your lifestyle. Healthy?! Surely wine is the opposite. Well of course anything with alcohol content has to be drunk in moderation but remember, wine, when made well, is a beautiful expression of the best nature has to offer. With the abundance of cheap wine on the supermarket shelves which cannot easily be tracked to a vineyard, winemaker or farmer, it is easy to see wine as a drink that gets you drunk but we hope BOTTL can change that perspective and part of how we want to do that is through our wine tips.
This space is a chance for us to share with you the terminology, philosophy and stories behind the bottles. We will keep it brief and straightforward, we’re not here to pontificate on wine for our amusement but instead redefine the way we talk about wine, unlock the processes that make the wine taste the way it does, help you feel confident pairing, discussing and recommending rather than nervously retreating to the old faithfuls: ‘Malbec’ or ‘Sauvignon’ please! Nothing wrong with those grapes of course, but there’s so much more out there to explore and we want to share it with you, in typical BOTTL style: concise, direct and overwhelmingly enjoyable.
Wine shouldn’t simply be an afterthought in the supermarket aisle or a blurry hangover the day after. BOTTL: It’s wine, without the headache. And where you can learn as much or as little about wine as you wish.
If you have anything you want explained or written about then get in touch at hello@bottlwine.co.uk and we’ll write a blog post about it.
Here’s to drinking differently!
Phil and Matt.
