Savvy's Verdict
"Ordering the Guy Allion, VDP Sauvignon Blanc, Loire valley, France by the glass offers better mathematical value than the bottle. The Darkhorse wine list has been analysed by SavvySipper. If you are looking to treat yourself, skip the entry-level bottles and head straight for Sesti, Brunello di Montalcino, Tuscany Italy '17, which comes with an insanely low 69% markup and a massive 4.4 rating on Vivino. For glass options, grabbing a 500ml carafe of the Côtes de Provence Rosé, Cuvée Elegance, France '19 gives you fantastic flexibility without paying an outrageous per-glass tax penalty. Mid-tier white drinkers should look at Circle of life Waterkloof, Stellenbosch South Africa '23 (Natural & biodynamic), offering biodynamic quality that easily punches above its weight for £42. Overall, the upper end of this list holds surprisingly tight markups, making fine wine your best play here."
