Where to buy quality wine?

[Ssyaak]

Just moved to the UK and struggling to find decent wine shops beyond the basic supermarket selections. Looking for places that offer interesting varieties with knowledgeable staff. Any recommendations for proper wine merchants, preferably with good English options too?

For serious wine shopping, check out specialty merchants who focus on smaller producers. Many offer tasting notes and food pairing advice too. If you're exploring English wines (which have improved dramatically), you'll find excellent reds at places like this: https://englishwinecentre.co.uk/englishwine/product-category/beer-wine-and-spirits/wine/red-wine/.
