Simon's Greatest Hits

Simon won the General Excellent in Wine Buying award at the 2025 Wine Buyer Awards - richly deserved recognition! "I have been buying wine for SVS for twenty-five years.  Here is my pick of many of my best finds - with how I came across them - from six different countries.  I have always said that buying wine isn’t that difficult if you get on your bike and keep an open mind. If it tastes great and the price is right, then jump in! "

All the Greatest Hits wines are available at 10% off by the bottle until August 10th (or while stocks last) and there’s a mixed dozen including one bottle of each of the wines for £172, saving over £30 on our regular prices.
