From the name, you might expect something rather stuffy and expensive, but The Butlers Wine Cellar is nothing of the sort.
The Butlers Wine Cellar is a family run, independent wine shop that was established in 1979. Henry Butler and his mother, Gillian, aim to provide knowledgeable, personal service and stock a wide range of interesting, affordable wines as well as wines for special occasions.
We try to break down the stereotypical snobbish attitude that is often associated with wine by making our service informative and fun. Wines are stocked from most countries; we tend to focus on wines made by smaller producers as opposed to large brands – wines that excite us or have a story to tell.
So, although they have a good selection of wines from the New and Old World, they also feature wines from less common sources such as Canada, Hungary and Slovenia and a decent range of Organic wines including some from England.
Whilst you can order online, there is not much in the way of additional info or tastings notes for each wine on the website, except in their special offers selection. They also offer regular tastings.
