Yes folks! We have been waiting a long time, but after a few quick events,
Manchester Food & Drink Festival in October, and Chocolate Unwrapped in Vinopolis also in October…Chocolate Shop Wine has now hit the shelves.
Chocolate Shop on shelf!
Plenty of early interest has started to pay off, and it’s now in Sainsbury’s stores (not Locals), and also moved into
The Co-op.
Just finished at BBC Good Food Show Winter at the NEC Stand T62.
My colleagues have picked up the baton for Saturday and Sunday. Next event is Taste of Christmas at Excel in Docklands in early December. Great for a reasonably priced Christmas present…for chocaholics! At time of writing this blog stand
Lots of comments on this product, but allow me to illustrate it’s versatility.
It’s not like liquid Bailey’s or other alcoholic sweet drinks.
It’s a wine using the Tempranillo grape from Spain. Alcohol volume: 12%.
“It’s the perfect drink for any occasion, whether you’ve got friends over for dinner or simply want to unwind at the end of the day; it also makes a great Christmas present.”
Some comments made at the NEC this week:
“My friend is chocolate mad – so this is great!”
“Wow!” heard this a lot!
“How do you do it?”
For all those people who tried it…thank you!
We hope you enjoyed the BBC Good Food Show.

Give it a whirl!
I have mentioned the following wines before in a previous blog… but just in case you are stuck for a present treat for any Rioja lover, have a look for the following characters!
They can be found in large Sainsbury’s, and are part of the Taste The Difference range from Spain.
Great value Rioja
