Welcome to
where we focus on wines from the Languedoc.
Welcome to our new list for 2009. We hope it will run through into next year, though that may depend on how quickly you drink the stock! Many of the wines have moved on to new vintages and now included in the main list are the extra wines we sourced during the year. It’s three years since we started 34 Wines; we believe our range will tempt, intrigue and satisfy most lovers of wine and can provide a complete experience of the major wine styles. Our fundamental theme continues; all the wines benefit from the superb growing conditions of the Languedoc, giving ripe abundant fruit flavours. The Languedoc has one of the longest traditions of wine-making in France, dating back at least to the Romans. On top of this, our producers operate modern viticulture and vinification practices, with the minimum use of agrochemicals, to get the best out of their vineyards and to produce high quality wines. The New World in the Old World! There is something for everyone here.
Our wines offer tremendous value for the quality they give you, and we are confident you will enjoy them as much as we enjoyed choosing them! The Languedoc continues to provide tremendous value-for-money, probably better than anywhere else, and particularly so in these economically stressful times. Regrettably, the decline of the £:€uro exchange rate and two increases in Customs Duty by the Chancellor mean we must increase our prices, but we have absorbed some of these extra costs by reducing our margins. Even better value than before!
The list is arranged by producer and, at the end, we have put together a few mixed cases. All bottles are 75cl unless shown differently. Each wine is individually described and priced, showing the bottle price. The prices are fully inclusive except for delivery charges.
Our minimum order quantity is six bottles, but you are free to mix and match as you like. In general, within the area of North East Cheshire and Greater Manchester, from Knutsford to Rochdale and from Warrington to the Lancashire/Cheshire Pennines, we will deliver to your door at a cost of £4. Orders over £150 will be delivered free of charge. Outside this area we will charge at cost: for up to 12 bottles, it costs £8 to most larger urban areas, and £10.30 to other areas. We aim to deliver within a week of receiving your order.
