| The Fine & Rare List | |
| November 2009 | |
| This is our selection of delicious wines and brandies of limited availability that we have hunted down from around the world. The list is updated regularly and we will run out sometimes. You’ll find wines here from across the price range, and each one is here for a very good reason – we think it’s excellent. Prices are a fraction of what they’d cost at a fancy restaurant. | |

| Rich, weighty, unctuous, the Queen of Blanc de Blancs champagne | |
| Cuvée Dom Perignon Rosé Vintage 1996 | £350 |
| This is a big, blowsy, full-on, full-frontal pink, perhaps the best in all creation | |
