The owner, Norman Gover, has visited virtually every major wine producing area of the world. A former secretary of the West of England Wine and Spirits Association, Norman has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the industry. For him, little beats the satisfaction of having discovered a little gem – usually a small family wine producer hidden away in some far-flung corner of the world – and then bringing the fruits of his labour (or should that be love) back to The Little Tipple for its customers to enjoy. The Little Tipple is a real family company with Norman’s parents – David and Yvonne – involved in the day-to-day running of the business.
In addition to offering its customers great wines, spirits and beers, the Little Tipple offers gift wrapping and packaging, excellent value seasonal wine cases, sale or return party plans (to save you from the embarrassment of running dry!), free 24 hour glass loan with wine orders, regular special offers, gift packs, and free local delivery.
Online purchases and deliveries are available but please call or email in the first instance for details and availability. Telephone 01275 392508 between 4pm and 7:45pm Monday to Saturday.
