Forget those cliched images about the crusty old wine merchants rooted in the past. We’ve got plenty of tradition, but we are a vibrant, modern firm aiming to bring our customers the best. Connolly’s Wine Merchants Ltd is a truly independent outfit, carefully selecting and shipping wines from all over the world to Birmingham. We have been family owned and run since 1976 and continue to provide a personal, flexible and comprehensive service to all our customers.
In an age of global brands, call centres and supermarket dominance, the emphasis at Connolly’s remains focussed strongly on the individual.
Our own independence provides us with a flexibility – if we like a wine and it meets our criteria in terms of quality and value, we buy it then and then. Wherever possible we deal directly with growers, most of whom we have come to know through personal visits to the vineyards.

The summer holidays are coming and to put you in the holiday mood we're holding a rum tasting.
2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019... is meant to be the year rum finally emerges as the on-trend drink, and not just drunk by pirates. In fact purists would prefer for rum to lose the pirate connotations entirely, and there is much talk in the industry for a new/simpler classification system, with even some calling for labels such as 'botanical rum' to tempt gin consumers.
Join us for an evening where we shall have some fun with rum and get you in the holiday mood!
There will be 5 rums to try on the night with mixers.
NB: No physical tickets will be sent out. Your name will be added to the event guest list held at the store.
Tasting tickets are non-refundable, transferable up to 14 days prior to the event.

On tasting this at the 2019 Australia Day tasting we thought "Big, showy, unsubtle - we love this!". It`s a huge smack in the face of exuberant, joyous Aussie fruit and well worth every penny of its pricetag.
Deep garnet in colour with an alluring complex aroma of dark-cherry, plums and roasted vanilla bean. The palate is powerful and well structured, fleshy, with chewy textured tannins finishing with polish and focus. The 2016 was an exceptional Barossa vintage indicating this wine will mature well for many years.

This sumptuous small batch gin is the latest addition to The Cotswold Distillery catalogue and will take your taste buds on a journey through the Middle East and Asian subcontinent.
The word Baharat means "blend of spices", with a foundation of juniper and coriander to which they’ve added an exotic blend of cardamom, cumin, clove, cinnamon, black pepper, chilli and a hint of Jaffa

Something very different to the mass produced Sekt which makes up the bulk of production. Instead of the cheap and cheerful, Liebfraumilch in a SodaStream®, tank method fizz you see at the bottom end of the market this is something sophisticated, complex and deeply delicious.
This is methode traditionelle Rheingau Riesling, barrel fermented and with three years on the lees, making it a pretty rare beast. It`s a wine with fantastic depth of flavour. It has all the elegance and complexity you would expect from big-name Champagnes, but the use of Riesling rather than the traditional French varities has left it with a character all of its own
