Carringtons Fine Wines - a Great Range

With outlets in Didsbury and Chorlton,  Carringtons offers a wide selection of wines from high quality small producers, a full range of premium spirits and some very interesting beers and ciders. Matt  and Ross (pictured) can help guide you through the myriad of wonderful drinks on offer with their reassuringly clear level of knowledge. They also conduct several tastings so keep an eye out for in-store announcements or messages on their blog-www.carringtonsmanchester.blogspot.com.  They have had great interest in Brockmans and recently ran a tasting evening with Louis Smith. Matt says "Brockmans Gin is a great spirit and sells well , people really enjoy the taste ”.

Matt and Ross enjoy premier cru Chablis or the occasional weiss beer. When they get time off you may find them in Manchesters Northern Quarter at the Angel.
