“Having followed the trend & growth of wine on tap in the USA for three years, we are really excited to incorporate the range into our offering. Carefully selected quality juice and expert technical installation delivers a terrific opportunity for events and venues wishing to engage their customers in the world of wine. Fast to serve and space efficient too, there’s just no downside. We will be pouring an Italian Fizzante and New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc at Twickenham for the remainder of the Six Nations Championship.”

Delighted to be exhibiting govino this weekend at Home in Olympia. If you’d like to have a look at our new govino web site in the making go to: www.govinobeer.co.uk.

For the 2014 British Summer Time Festival, The Wondering Wine Co. team treated festival goers to Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label, Vintage, Rose bottles and magnums, we even have a few very special Jeroboams for sharing. Our govino Champagne flutes, decanters wondering all over the park with chilled summer bubbles!

Our Citroen H freshly polished, a lick of paint, Champagne Lanson, and a floating stage. We are all set for the very special and quintessentially English Henley Festival. We’ve White and Rose magnums, govino flutes, sunshine and Brian Ferry – what’s not to like!

Our new wine bar pop up going great guns at British Summer Time in Hyde Park. From  White Zinfandel Rose to Shiraz we’ve got the lot!. Seven fantastic days of amazing music, London’s best street food with a wine match for every dish.

Recently we teamed up with Shepherds Markets to bring our first Pop up market stall. We have hundreds of special parcel wines as well as our staff favourites and a few surprises. In Victoria and Wapping we are tasting and sampling from 11 till 3.

Returning to the West Car park for the QBE Autumn Internationals means its time to dust down the Winter Spice cup recipe card and get those raisins on to steep. With the weather playing its part we can expect a busy couple of weeks

Jo from West Quay commented on the idea behind a pop-up bar, “Adding an area for our guests to relax and un-wind really adds an extra dimension to our guests shopping experience. I’ve had a look at their designs and it looks amazing. Having a classic Citroen H Van in West Quay with sofas and Lancaster chairs with high backs and winged sides will look great during Christmas and the January sales”.

Olly was on top form at the Ideal Home Show Christmas at Earl’s Court. We teamed up with Olly Smith to create a fantastic, fun and bespoke pop up wine bar with a wine list to delight all palates, chosen by Olly and guaranteed to make you feel Christmassy.

The Sugarbabes performed then sampled our Winter Spice Cup as the clip shows, watch out for the dancing barman.

On the fourth floor at our Rosettes bar we showcased the best of British Charcuterie. Racegoers at Ascot tasted and sampled some the greatest cured hams and award winning charcuterie from Cannon and Cannon and Black Acorn. We paired beautiful wines with delicious plates.

We want to say a huge THANK YOU to all those who came along to the Old Lady – thank you for making the festival so wonderful.  We’re full to the brim with memories and will be sharing them across facebook and twitter so be sure to join us there.

Our Airstream bar was at the 50th Anniversary Festival for Toni and Guy at the iconic Knebworth House. Toni and Guys global gathering included DJ’s and great music acts as well as an award ceremony. Our bar was at the heart of the action pouring great wines and mixing cool cocktails.

According to Samuel Muston our glasses are the answer to your picnic conundrum, great wine out of cheap plastic glasses, well the answer is govino, drink in style not once but time after time.

Our week at Royal Ascot was an extremely memorable experience especially for Her Majesty winning the Gold Cup and effectively handing it to herself. Our little outfit galloped home with space to spare winning all the plaudits and new friends in all of our bars, 444 on the Cedar Lawn, HVan on the Grandstand concourse and our newest addition Rosettes on the 4th floor of the Royal Enclosure.

The Sun and the crowds came out for our first foray into Wine and Food outside the offices of Bibendum Wines. The aroma of London’s finest street food greeted the ravenous passer-by where we matched fine wines and glorious cocktails. We were joined by Rainbo, Bhangra Burger, Donostia Social Club and Fish Dog on Regents Park Road for the first of many Pop-up events, see you soon.

Our first Pop-up wine bar outside the Bibendum office in Primrose Hill. On the 1 and 2 June from midday to 9pm we will be joined by some of our friends, Bhangra Burger, Fish Dog, Rainbo and the Donostia Social Club to serve up great wines matching the coolest food in London.

After months of preparation and anticipation Rosettes had its first run out in front of a good crowd at Ascot. It showed some great form in spite of the heavy going and as the wind blew the sound of popping corks rang through the Grandstand. Keep an eye on our Facebook page for updates.

Phew what a weekend! The weather played its part as our season started with the sound of popping corks. First stop Montpelier Gardens for the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, the ‘Old Lady’ taking centre stage. On to the Southbank under Jubilee bridge for the gastronomic Real Food Festival with our street food friends.  At Newmarket the Champagne flowed for 200th running of the Guineas Festival.  Saracens hosted Bath as the Premiership season reached its climax and the Prosecco hit the spot at the Allianz stadium. A record breaking weekend full of fun, friends and fine wine – Cheers!

Prosecco is on the rise and has been for some time now but must not be seen as a poor man’s champagne, it is so much more than that!  We have some truly delicious bubbles in the shape of Jeio Prosecco from Bisol – a family run winery steeped with centuries of history.

In the late 1920’s it was Desiderio Bisol who ran the operation, his wife’s affectionate nickname for him was ‘Jeio’ and from here the name of this wine derives. A very cute tale, the wine tastes scrumptious as well; so if you find yourself at one of our many events join us in raising a glass to ‘Jeio’.

Our residency at the Autumn Internationals at Twickenham has drawn to a close and we’ve had an amazing time serving up our vino to hoards of happy rugby fans.

We were not just there for a good time but also for a good cause, warming the crowds (and their taste buds) with our Winter Spiced Cups of Glögg.  20p of every cup sold has been donated to Movember in support of men’s health, raising a total of £276.80 with the help of all you sporting ‘Mo Bros’ and ‘Mo Sistas’ out there.  Chin Chin to men’s health!

We love supporting a good cause, especially when it involves growing spectacularly questionable facial hair. During the course of Movember we will be at Twickenham for the Autumn Internationals, serving up a delicious winter warmer called ‘Glögg’; a scrumptious Nordic glühwein containing brandy and flavoured with raisins, cloves and cinnamon.  A real moustache curler!  20p from every cup sold will be donated to Movember in support of mens health.

Come and see us in the West Car Park where we will serving up our delicious creation along with some tip-top wines before and after the game.

While we were at Jamie Oliver’s Feastival we made a video to let people see what we are all about.  If you haven’t seen us in action yet have a little look at the video to learn more about our world.

We set up camp on London’s South Bank to offer some of our lovely wines to foodies from across the capital.  They came from far and wide seeking amazing food from some of the most creative street food traders around.  The Real Food Festival celebrates the best, passion-driven sustainably and ethically produced food; something we at the Wondering Wine Company are über passionate about.

Match made on the South Bank: Spicy Eastern Mediterranean curry teamed with De l’Hospitalet Viognier 2011.

Whilst wine is out first love, we at Wondering Wine Company are particularly partial to an expertly made Gin & Tonic. We were super excited to rock up to Jamie Oliver’s Big Feastival, held on Alex James’s farm (of Blur fame)  with our friends Fever Tree in tow, who laid on some truly irresistible cocktails topped up with their ultra premium mixers.

Between us we were selling our lovely wines and cocktails like the clappers in the delectable govino glassware, which is elegant, shatterproof and reusable.  We are happy to announce they are now available to buy online here.

We had an amazing two weeks watching all of the Olympic action from the big screen at Hyde Park, where we were housed for two weeks over the Olympics.  Whilst cheering on our home team, (and seeing glimpses of the last ever Blur gig) we kept glasses topped up and the crowd happy with bubbles galore.

Thank you for all of your support and kind words. We had some amazing feedback and an absolute blast being part of the highs and lows of those two monumental weeks. Something we certainly won’t forget in a hurry. Roll on the Paralympics!

We pulled on our wellies at Wireless Festival this weekend and and brought a few smiles to soggy festival-goers face’s with our uber special selection of bubbles. From the finest Prosecco from tip-top vineyards in the hills of Valdobbiadene, to Champagne from the biggest names,  we found that the rainy conditions were even more of a reason to celebrate!  We will be pitched up outside the Bandstand and Pepsi Max stage for upcoming festivals in Hyde Park, including Hard Rock Calling so make sure you pop your head round and come and see us for a glass (or a bottle) of something delicious.

The Wondering Wine Company got their royal on this past weekend at Ascot, where alongside our brilliant wines, we launched our brand new summer cocktail to the racing crowd.

One of our adventurous managers Mark worked with the lovely chaps at Sipsmith to create (…drumroll please…) the Sipsmith Summer Cup. A super refreshing mix of gin and Fever Tree ginger ale, finished with fresh mint, cucumber, lemon and lime, this little number had race goer’s tongues tingling.

Our Argentinian producer, Argento, set out a few months back to capture in moving image what makes Mendoza special as a wine producing region. The result is a short film called Cerca del Cielo (Close to the Sky), a collaboration with British filmmaker James Kibbey.

Watch the film here and follow a day in the life of Argento’s Winemaker, Silvia Corti, on a journey from vineyard to table against the stunning backdrop of Mendoza, Argentina.

We have just received our shiny new shipment of govino glassware all the way from sunny California. The range includes shatterproof, recyclable and reusable plastic wine glasses, champagne flutes and decanters that are designed to look both elegant and make your wine taste that much more delicious.

We are excited to announce that we are the only supplier of govino in the UK. Keep a beady eye out on our website for where you can get your hands on them in the near future, beyond our events.

We rolled up with our Citreon H-Vans to Cheltenham Jazz festival for a May bank holiday weekend of festivities. Despite the rain, we battled the elements to serve over 700 bottles of wine to happy festival-goers to a sound track of Paloma Faith and Gregory Porter.

We love collaborating with like-minded folk, and our friends from Pizza Pilgrims and Serious Pig worked with us to match their tasty British charcuterie and handmade pizza’s to our lovely wines. We hope to be back in town for the Cheltenham Literary Festival in October, so keep your eyes peeled on our events page.
