Savvy's Verdict

"The Magdalen Arms wine list has been analysed by SavvySipper. If you want to drink top-tier white without getting fleeced, skip the entry-level options and jump straight to the Sancerre, La Vigne Blanche, Domaine Henri Bourgeois, 2023 at ÂŁ45, which sports a slim 105% markup and an impressive 4.1 Vivino rating. Red drinkers should target the Barolo, 2017, Cantina Bric at ÂŁ62 for another standout deal at barely double retail cost. If you are ordering by the glass, stick strictly to the 125ml pours, because stepping up to 175ml offers zero volume savings and actively penalizes your wallet."
