Taylor's Fine Wine
Traditional wine merchant on Ham Parade. The shop for serious bottle buying — proper advice, good range, none of the bar-scene distraction.
Why we love it
Independent wine merchant with the expertise that supermarkets can't match. For buyers who want proper advice on what to cellar or gift.
Taylor’s is the old-school wine merchant for people who actually want to buy wine, not just drink it. No bar component, no Instagram aesthetic — just proper bottles, proper knowledge, and the kind of advice that comes from years of tasting and selling.
The range balances accessible everyday bottles with serious wines worth cellaring or gifting. Staff can advise on food pairings, occasions, and budgets without the upsell pressure. It’s the shop where you ask “what should I bring to dinner?” and get an answer that’s actually helpful.
The Ham Parade location is slightly out of the town centre buzz, which suits the purpose. You’re here for a considered purchase, not a spontaneous evening out. For birthday gifts, anniversary bottles, or stocking up on something reliable, Taylor’s knows its trade.
Local’s Tip: Ask for recommendations at your price point — they’re good at matching quality to budget. Worth the trip for special occasion bottles.
