Ep 35: Pierce Talks Events, New Ranges, Featured Products and More to Come in 2026!

Pierce gets views. Ethan doesn't. It's quite simple. Aside from that, he's here to talk through all the great stuff we've got going on in the next quarter of 2026, from events to in-store tastings and social media features. There's always something happening in both Antrim and Randalstown, so why not come and try one of our Friday Tasting wines, or maybe a Spirit of the Week feature?

They're going to compare it to the same product from a leading supermarket and see if there really is a defference. You've heard the rumours and myths before, but now we're putting them to the test. People will tell you that one bottle is better than the other, but why? Now's your chance to find out.
