TGWG's Verdict
The Good Wine Guide“The Alford Arms wine list is a thoughtfully curated showcase of vibrant Old World tradition and expressive terroirs. Exceptional highlights include mineral-driven coastal Albariño from Rías Baixas and muscular, sun-drenched reds from Portugal's Douro Valley. Deeply rooted in regional authenticity, the selection spans elegant Burgundian whites alongside structured Rhône Valley blends.”
Taittinger Champagne, Brut Réserve N.V. VG Champagne, France
Champagne, France
Same value as the bottle — the 250ml glass (£10.30) has zero extra markup for ordering a single glass.
Top-rated ★ 4.0 on Vivino for just £41.50 a bottle — serious quality without the splurge.
