Good Investment

My main regret is that I only bought 6 bottles
While this fragrant wine has the name it is really worthy of the name
A true delight

Great champagne, shame about the website

Had this champagne served in a restaurant in London and liked it so much went searching online and was delighted to find it at Vineking at a good price. Ordering was very straightforward but the new website had a glitch and the case was sent to the billing address not the delivery address. A real shame. VineKing we’re very apologetic and I have a £25 voucher . The champagne, when I eventually got it, is superb for the price.

Boutinot Coteaux Cotes du Rhone proves its worth

For years now I have been buying Boutinot Coteaux Cotes du Rhone from the VINEKING. It is really tasty and reliable and family and friends always compliment it on its fine taste and slightly fuller body. Thoroughly recommended and excellent value.

Gosset review

I am on a mission to find ‘the’ champagne that I would always go for, so last night we tried a bottle for my wife’s birthday having put my heart into preparing a meal for her.
I would point out that I am no sommelier but this particular champagne we found to have a rather high citrus note, we prefer a more rounded mellow flavour. It’s only our opinion, but our quest continues! Happy drinking

Great Port

I have purchased Krohn Port from The Vineking for a number of years and was looking for a top up back in August '25. I eMailed Eric with my requirement. After one nudging eMail I am still no nearer getting my port (from The Vineking) and being the purchases I do not go chasing suppliers! I purchased a dozen bottles from Songbird Wines. Now that I have let Eric know I am not too happy with the service, I can thoroughly vouch for the port. It is an excellent product and I would not go 'hunting it down' if it was not a good drinker.

Delicious and Complex and Just within budget!

I love this wine. Normally £15 is my upper limit, but then my girlfriend introduced me to a bottle of Holden Manz... Damn, its worth the extra.

Again first time of tasting this cheese.
Really enjoyed and in my eyes very similar to on of my favourites Comte.
Great depth of flavour which kept on delivering. Good hard cheese.

Brillat Savarin

First time taste of this cheese. Very creamy and smooth but would say too mild for me. I lost the flavour amongst the stronger cheeses that I was eating.
Maybe a good accompaniment to some smoke salmon or on its own.

Great

Enjoyed this wine , great floral taste and good price

Right up my street

Not to might citrus bite, smooth and balanced with a slight spritzy effervesence which I really like. On its own or with fish, this works well.

Delicious and surprising

I bought this as Mark suggested it as an answer to the question "what have you got that will delight and surprise me?". This did both. Crisp, light, slightly floral. A super blend.

Punching well above its weight for a youngster

Opened a good hour beforehand, but not decanted, it really developed. Tannins softened, flavours grew, colour darkened - cedar, tobacco, walnuts.
Lucky to have acquired it with a 20% Discount, so value question was favourably scewed. At full price, I would still seriously consider buying it again though.

We enjoyed it, as did our Dinner Guests.

Pet Nat - lovely discovery!

New introduction to Bulgarian wines at the tasting and loved this fizz! Crisp, small bubbles and very quaffable! Shared another bottle with friends at the weekend - more converts!
