Things we’re ghosting this season…

W**er snobbery, summer-only vineyard visits, room-temperature reds (yes, really), and saving that special bottle for “another time”. Consider them 👻 ghosted 👻

This season, we’re choosing chilled reds, English w**e, the good glasses and saying what we actually taste. No pretentious nonsense, just really good w**e and a good time.

Life’s too short for w**e rules.

What are you ghosting this season? đź‘€

Summer flings are fun, but we’re looking for something a little more… year-round. 🍂

From spring’s first shoots to golden autumn harvests and misty winter mornings, Balfour is a bit of a looker in every season.

And if it rains? We pour. 🥂

A little chill can make a lighter red sing. Try Luke’s Pinot Noir slightly chilled and prepare to question everything you thought you knew.

Especially if you’re a self-proclaimed red w**e sceptic.

You know the one. The bottle waiting for a birthday, an anniversary, a promotion… or a planetary alignment.

Not every w**e needs years in the cellar, and not every occasion needs to be a big one.

Open the bottle. Make Friday evening special. Stop saving the good stuff for a day that may never come. 🥂

Notes of distant bonfire? Hints of wet slate? A whisper of woodland after rainfall?

Or… does it just taste really nice?

There’s no w**e-tasting exam at the end. Say what you taste, trust your palate and leave the bluffing to the ghosts. 👻

Sorry, chunky glasses. It’s not us, it’s you. 💔🥂

The right glass really can make a difference, letting the w**e breathe and bringing those lovely aromas to life.

Consider this your sign to get the good glasses out. Yes, even on a Tuesday.

We love a bit of fizz. Obviously. 🥂

But English w**e has range. Think crisp whites, gorgeous rosés and reds that deserve their own moment in the spotlight.

Only tried our sparkling? You’ve barely scratched the surface!

Rosé called. It would like to remind you that it has a winter wardrobe, too.

Crisp, fresh and ridiculously good with food, Nannette’s Rosé is ready for everything from herby salads and cheeseboards to party snacks and more!

The biggest ick in the w**e world. 🚩🍷
