Savvy's Verdict
"The Alford Arms wine list: Skip the big-name Champagnes and grab the Harrow and Hope Brut Reserve N.V., which carries an exceptionally friendly 70% markup alongside a solid 4.1 Vivino rating at £59.50. White wine drinkers should pivot to the Mar de Frades Albariño '23, offering a standout 4.2 score for a modest 135% markup at £47. On the red side, the Douro Superior '21 from Quinta do Crasto delivers top-tier quality with a 4.1 rating for just £48. If you are ordering by the glass, opt for the 250ml pour of La Source Réserve '23 Rosé to maximize your volume per pound."
