    Wine in a Day

    The sun was shining on Liphook Golf club on Saturday 6th March for the General Wine Companies Foundation Wine in a day course. The attendees were treated to a day with our wine expert Godfrey Spence, who holds the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) diploma and has many years experience tutoring wine courses. He introduced the group to the world of wine in the morning and after the lunch break, the group were able to try the wine for themselves. 12 different wines were tasted, which were matched to a selection of meats and cheeses. An enjoyable day was had and the group learnt quite a bit too!

    The General Wine Company Just Keeps On Going...

    Jed and Charles ensure that the deliveries make it through the snowGeneral Wine Company is proud to announce that it was business as usual throughout the snow-covered cold spell we have just experienced nationwide. Through a combination of dedication, forward planning, 4x4 travel, snow shoes, dog sleighs, slipping and sliding and enthusiastic team shovelling, the fleet of vans were able to go the extra mile and keep promises and relieved customers stocked all over the country.Even the shops in Liphook and Petersfield were open for business as usual throughout the worst of the arctic blizzards. The staff battled through and ensured that there was always a clear runway for locals to come in from the cold and have a glass of something soothing whilst buying a ‘winter warmer’ to enjoy by the fire, before heading out into the wilds once again to build snowmen with their school-less children.Alan Snudden, our MD, even slept in his car on one of the worst nights to ensure that the GWC vinous world did not stop turning.
