    The staff is very rude and doesn’t seem interested in selling their wines.

    We bought a Prosecco from them and they did not disappoint. I recommend dropping by at their store and getting some for yourself.

    The wines I’ve tried were ok, nothing special or one that’s I’d like to repurchase. Unfortunately the overall experience with the Borough Wines, from dismissive shop staff, endless emails and calls which were ignored to the poor website experience and the broken bottle I’ve received due to poor packaging, makes me not want to approach them ever again. Fortunately there are plenty of other wine sellers in London who make an effort.

    Generally unhjelpful member of staff who managed to tell me Rioja was from Spain when asked for some more infomation about a red wine. It did save me reading the label.

    If you're in the area and looking for good wine, definitely a 'must visit'. Managed to pop in just before closing on Wednesday, looking for something natural/biodynamic. Three wines were recommended, purchased two, both thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated.
