Welcome to Stone Vine & Sun
Stone, Vine & Sun Wine Merchants - committed to sourcing superb wines that truly reflect the land they are grown on.
2nd June 2020 - COVID update
Stop press: Les Quatre Tours Signature Rosé featured last Saturday in The Daily Telegraph, Victoria Moore's "Pick of the Pinks"
We are open for business and up to date with orders. We are sending wine out nationally via APC and are delivering locally ourselves. Drivers have instructions to place boxes by the doorstep (or elsewhere if you prefer), will not request signatures, and will stand well away. Local customers may have to wait a little longer as we can't be everywhere at once, but we are dispatching national online orders as fast as they arrive, so most deliveries outside our region should arrive in 1-2 working days - though APC inevitably have some localised challenges with the volumes they are currently handling.
We have taken two measures to encourage orders: we have reduced the free delivery threshold to £75 nationally (barring Highlands and Islands); and all wines in our stock have a 10% discount if ordered by the unsplit dozen.
If you are visiting us for the first time you may like to scroll down and see the reviews by Jancis Robinson, MW on Friday 8th May of twelve of our wines from £9.50 to £19.95 - six were rated GV for good value.
Our shop in Twyford is firmly closed. However we are offering collections at the shop between 10 and 5 during week days. If you wish to collect please say so in the delivery instructions box - and when you plan to come. If necessary we will stagger collections. Please don't come without pre-ordering; we must take payment details for telephone orders; and please don't ask to come in. You order will be in marked boxes in rhe shade outside our glazed door.
Please note that due to the closure of the shop and short-staffing the office telephones will not be manned on Saturdays. If you would like to order either leave a message or email us at sales@stonevine.co.uk
Finally, thanks for all the orders we have received over the last two months - it's great to have your support
