We would like to take this opportunity to tell
you a little about our company.
|
| T & W Wines
was formed 24 years ago by Trevor Hughes, a hotelier by profession
who found his interest lay more and more in creating a remarkable
wine list for his restaurant, rather than on the running of the hotel.
So in 1977 he sold his shares and T & W Wines was born. In the early
days, the emphasis was on old, fine and rare wines, and to look back
at some of the prices on those first lists is certainly an eye-opener.
1968 Chateau d'Yquem at £6.85, 1947 Chateau Latour at £69.00 or the
legendary 1931 Quinta do Noval for £40.00. Oh, those were the days.
|
| At the beginning
of the '80s the direction began to change. The business expanded and
customers demanded wines to drink everyday rather than just on special
occasions. Rather than take the easy option and buy on the English
market from other wine merchants, we started visiting France. |
|
Twenty one years ago we opened our shop in Thetford, and we have
been delighted that so many restaurateurs and private customers
on our mailing list call in. We have over 600 wines displayed as
well as a range of glasses and wine accessories, many of which are
antique. We are always willing to give advice and help with the
choice of wines, or the laying down of a cellar. We also hold regular
tastings, many of which are hosted by wine producers.
Our main office and despatch has moved to nearby Brandon.

T&W Wines are leaving our much loved shop and cellars in Thetford
and moving to much larger premises bringing much of our stock under
one roof. This will allow a faster response time for orders of all
sizes.
