Recently awarded London Multi-Store of the Year runner-up at the Decanter Retailer Awards 2021, Philglas & Swiggot have two locations in London’s Marylebone and Battersea with knowledgeable staff on hand. The recently refurbished enoteca site in Marylebone also serves wines by the glass and bottle alongside charcuterie and cheese plates.
Across both sites, a variety of monthly tasting events are held with some unmissable masterclasses, including an upcoming Henschke tasting presented in-person by Johann Henschke at their Battersea location.
Over the next month, to celebrate their 30th Anniversary, Philglas & Swiggot will also host a range of activities and offers, culminating in a large tasting at their Battersea store on 4th November.
Both shops are open every day of the week, but you can also purchase wines online with free delivery across the UK on orders over £100. Shop online now

Sparkling
Charles Heidsieck, Rosé Réserve, Champagne, France NV
Best in Show, 97 points
£62.50
The pink wave sweeping the wine world at present hasn’t left Champagne behind — but Champagne’s way with pink wine is as distinctive as the rest of its wine offer. You cannot make wines here which are vanishingly pale, petal-pretty and evanescent: there is just too much character, strike and drive on offer in Champagne’s raw materials. There are many great Champagne ripostes to the pink festival of restraint elsewhere, but this salmon-copper rose, with its cavalier autumn fruits and its sheer breadth and audacity of flavour, struck our judges as one of the most memorable. Long, bold flavours subside slowly, vinously and lingeringly in this great gastronomic rose wine.
Charles Heidsieck, Blanc de Blancs Brut, Champagne, France NV
Platinum, 97 points
£22.50 (half bottle) / £69.95 (gift box)
A seductive toasty, ginger and Seville orange nose; plenty of character, plenty of weight and so much elegance, lift and eloquence too; fruit singing here. Lovely balance and weight; pleasing in many different ways. Stunner!
Gusbourne, Blanc de Blancs Brut, Kent, United Kingdom 2016
Platinum, 97 points
£59.00
Taut and elegant with a fine mousse. Hawthorn and elderflower give way to crisp green apple and quince characters. The palate explodes with buttered brown toast and thickly spread lemon curd. Super crisp and long.
Ambriel, Rosé Brut, West Sussex, United Kingdom 2015
Silver, 91 points
£27.50
Bright ripe strawberry and rhubarb aromas. Full and long with tangy, maturing flavours and a refreshing finish.
Charles Heidsieck, Blanc des Millénaires Brut, Champagne, France 2006
Silver, 94 points
£169.95
White toast and sourdough opens the show; flowers behind. This hums along with quite a spritzy motor. Long and luxuriant.
Charles Heidsieck, Réserve Brut, Champagne, France NV
Silver, 91 points
£46.95
Nose of hazelnut, Macadamia and lemongrass. Pretty lemon-driven autolysis; fennel, ginger stem and a touch of slate. Very complete.
Piper-Heidsieck, Cuvée Brut, Champagne, France NV
Bronze, 89 points
£22.50 (half bottle)
A green smoky nettle note with some enamouring sweetness coming in behind. Light palate of apples and minerals with a zippy finish.
White
Château-Fuissé, Tête de Cuvée, Pouilly-Fuissé, Burgundy, France 2019
Silver, 92 points
£29.50
Rich, intense peach and apricot aromas. Powerful, complex and textured, with sharp acidity and roasted nut character. Long spicy finish.
Oenops, Vidiano, Greece 2019
Silver, 92 points
£23.95
Ripe quince with toasted almonds and mineral freshness. Creamy texture with mouthwatering freshness leads to a long length. Very well made.
Cantina Terlano, Vorberg Pinot Bianco, Alto-Adige Terlano Riserva, Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol, Italy 2018
Silver, 91 points
£37.95
Enticing aromatics of dried apricot, bay leaf and spiced pineapple lead to a palate laced with exotic mango and spice.

Estate Argyros, Cuvée Evdemon, Santorini, Aegean Islands, Greece 2017
Silver, 91 points
£57.95
A very driven lemony Assyrtiko on the nose, showing a hint of beeswax and toasted cashew texture evolution on the palate. Linear and composed, this is an excellent Santorini.
Dandelion Vineyards, Enchanted Garden Riesling, Eden Valley, Australia 2020
Silver, 91 points
£15.95
Racy, delicate and long, loaded with mouth-watering lime zest, bath salts, toasted brioche and a nod of ginger.
Red
Oenops, Limniona, Greece 2019
Gold, 96 points

Sweet red fruit on the nose, dried flowers, sweet spices and stony minerals, raspberry and cherry. Vibrant and vivacious on the palate with gorgeous lavender, wild blueberry and strawberry fruit. Compact, taut and really well put together.
Henschke, Johann’s Garden, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia 2018
Silver, 94 points

Henschke, Keyneton Euphonium, Barossa, Australia 2016
Silver, 94 points
£44.50
Boasts an appealingly sapid texture, with silky blueberry, cassis, star anise and syrupy glace cherry. A joyous wine which goes on and on.
Henschke, Henry’s Seven, Barossa, Australia 2019
Silver, 91 points
£29.95
Black cherry and plum nose, with a violet edge and lifted bramble notes. Interesting blend which shows off the fruit and delivers an attractive balanced wine with a soft finish.

Rich and waxy notes of dried orange, crème caramel, dried banana, marmalade and mango. Enticing with an explosion of ripe fruit on the palate, luscious with a vibrant balanced acidity.
