Ten Green Bottles

Ten Green Bottles is a long-standing wine bar in central Brighton, modelled in the style of the Italian ‘enoteca’ - a friendly little local wine shop where you can be guided through wine samples and cheese pairings before leaving with a spectacular new bottle perfectly suited to your personal tastes.

Ten Green Bottles has blessed Jubilee Street with exceptional wine since 2010. The bar/shop came about when founders Simon and Sam discovered their shared philosophy and passion for good wine, and initially began as an importer of carefully curated, small-batch wines, selling to swanky restaurants looking to offer a more exclusive selection that was otherwise unavailable from bigger importers. This novelty persisted with the opening of the store - this enoteca style establishment had never found footing in the UK previously, making Ten Green Bottles a bit of a pioneer. 

For meat and cheese-enthusiasts, there’s an exciting opportunity to curate your own charcuterie board celebrating local legends and international specialists alike. If you don’t quite fancy a glass of wine yet somehow still find yourself at Ten Green Bottles, there’s also a succinct selection of beer, cider, gin, soft drinks and cocktails. 

Of course, their focus is on small, independent, artisan producers and you’ll find biodynamic, organic and natural wines in this selection. No idea what those words mean? You can develop your understanding at one of their tasting events or masterclasses. You’ll come out the other side finally knowing what to do when the sommelier offers you that first sip in the restaurant wine ritual, and when to appropriately employ terms like ‘tannins’ and ‘legs’ and ‘mouthfeel’. 

Despite the pretentiousness often associated with wine culture, Ten Green Bottles is casual, relaxed, but informative. Genuine passion from down-to-earth wine enthusiasts, not spectacle.
