Until recently, the Wine Rack used to be Threshers but apart from the rebranding, much remains the…read moresame as when it was Threshers. This is quite a small shop and once or twice I've been looking for a wine reviewed as being stocked at Threshers, only to find that this store don't stock it. However, this has been the exception rather than the norm. The staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and are always willing to make suggestions if you're looking for something new to try. Wine Rack's 3 for 2 offer is excellent and can make reasonably expensive wines quite good value. Now and then they run 40% reduction offers and only just recently, held a wine fair in Harpenden Town Halls, which was a free wine tasting plus 40% off any wines bought, with proceeds going to charity. One of my favourite wines that they stock is an Italian red, Arietto Ripasso Valipocella. Yum!

Stopped by here randomly to grab a bottle of wine on the way home. Very cool wine shop connected to…read morethe restaurant next door. I hadn't stopped in here, because it doesn't seem that approachable - it certainly projects itself to be a higher end wine shop. That turns out to be true, it is a little more high end feeling - though ultimately the employees were super approachable and very helpful. I think it is a little on the snooty side, but if you are prepared for that - then this is a good shop. Despite the higher end feel, it does appear as though they educate the public that comes in, there are maps of wine regions, the grapes grown in those regions, and advertisements for wine tastings. This is the place that you go in to find a bottle of special wine, something specific or to learn a bit more. It's definitely not a warehouse, and doesn't pretend to be. That said, the prices didn't seem outrageous, just slightly higher than other stores - but given the types of wine and the service, it's worth it.

Since we were in Oxford for a few days before heading to Scotland, and since my sister-in-law works at Lincoln college across the road, the Whisky Shop was our obvious choice to get some information and be prepared for our trip north. I didn't catch the employee's name who helped us, but he was great. He took the time to patiently explain everything, telling us which distillieries to be on the lookout for on our trip, which ones are smoky and peated, which ones we could get outside the UK, what is unique about their own line of whiskys, and more. We ended up with a good sized bottle of The Old Malt Cask, where the company visits the major respected distilleries (ours is from Scapa) and buys a cask or two from them that they age longer and then put into bottles without adding any flavor or coloring. We also got some of the 4 packs of small bottles from Ben Riach, since they had peated and non-peated of relatively the same stuff, giving us a great way to understand the difference of flavor and style, particularly since Ben Riach is a speyside whisky, with inherently different style than the island whiskys we tried. My sister-in-law also went back for us when our train was delayed to buy some additional items, including a medium sized bottle of one of their Whisky Shop labels that we plan to set aside for when our sons are old enough to enjoy it with us. She mentioned that the guy was just as helpful and thorough in dealing with her. In short, if you want to learn a lot about all types of Whisky, this is a great place to stop.
