Billy Bell Birse-Stewart, Managing Director, Wine Importers.

Welcome to our new look price list which is entirely interactive.

After much research and discussion, we now understand that our
customers really want easy access to pricing and product information
at a touch of a button.

We have therefore developed an electronic list with a simple search
facility to find the product you are after, quickly and without page
flicking.
Each Agency House we represent also has a corresponding information section and simply by clicking on a wine
or producer icon, you will immediately be taken to that informative page.

th
This new list will take effect on Monday 26 February 2018 and we are pleased to announce that in general we
have managed to keep most prices close to or in line with inflation and many key items remain the same as last
year.

The main areas that were affected by severe drought around the Mediterranean saw grape production reduced
by around 25% due to lack of water. This has caused severe issues for volume wines from these areas – possibly
just for this year and forced prices up to balance the low harvest.

The other areas affected by severe weather were the Northern French vineyards where an ice cold blast of Arctic
frost hit them in the middle of April, killing vine buds by around 30%. Bordeaux was also affected but we won’t
experience the knock on effect on their pricing in the immediate future.

Chile, Australia, New Zealand and South America have seen good stability in last year’s harvest and offer fantastic
value for money now compared to some traditional European sources.

We are pleased to introduce a new range from Chile – Loma Negra from the famous house of Luis Felipe
Edwards. With a fighting priced Pinot Grigio and Malbec, along with excellent premium varietals, this range
offers a wide appeal.

This year we have extended our Burgundy range and added in some interesting producers from Fixin,
Marsannay, Pernand Vergelesses and Maranges.

We have sourced some good value, interesting single varietals such as Corvina, Garganega and Furmint to add
talking points on wine lists. There is also a fresh Vinho Verde added to accompany our home grown seafoods.
Please look out for the return of an old favourite - Monte Haro Estate Rioja from Paternina as a great quality to
price offering. Newly introduced Estate Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc from Giesen NZ are excellent wines and
bound to impress at the price.
Finally we are pleased to welcome the full range of Edinburgh Gin products to our list.

With Kindest Regards and thanks for your continued support.
