We have an extensive range of hand-picked wines in the range of £4-£175, from distinctive, individual producers, with bottles open to try daily. The majority of our wines come from small, family-owned producers worldwide, and are chosen to represent both their origins and the passion of the people making them.
As a natural extension to this, we expect our wines to be produced with respect to the environment in which they are made; thus without actively sourcing them, we tend to find an increasing proportion of our wines are organic, biodynamic, "lutte raisonnée", or where appropriate, ethically traded.
We're not raging eco-warriors, far from it; our main concern is to get good wine in the glass. Indeed, wine is such a natural product (when made well) that "organic" status can be something of a red herring anyway. However, in our experience good wines seem to be made through minimal interventions in the winemaking process at just the right times. It just happens that this method of minimal intervention often makes it easier to care for the environment simultaneously, and is most used by producers looking to work in partnership with their land rather than to impose their will upon it. At Quaff, we’re also looking to bring a fully service-oriented wine merchant to Hove, to include:
  • Free delivery within 15 miles; next day delivery nationwide (charges vary but we're reasonable!).
  • Friday Five - an ad hoc, relaxed, turn-up-and-taste every Friday at 5pm. Based on a loose theme and with an informal tutorial, we’ll open 5 wines worth at least £50 in total for customers to try at their leisure, for a small charge.
  • Regular monthly ticketed tasting events. For further information click here.
  • Case Club – our monthly case delivery service. Each customer is treated individually; their preferences are noted and each case is prepared separately, with its own wine notes and food recommendations. No two cases we send out are the same, and everyone in the club gets a 15% case discount. For more information click here.
  • Our “bottle library” service – every customer’s purchases are recorded if they choose, removing the need for them to remember what they purchased! Many customers find this an invaluable aid to remembering and thus learning about their wine drinking habits.
  • We have a 10% discount on any mixed case ordered online.
  • Cellar plan – long term wine investment/drinking plan, with cellar management consultancy and professional storage services.
  • We offer a wide range of accessories and cigars. For details please click here.
  • We can create personalised private wine evenings, courses and corporate events.
  • We offer a full wholesale service to local restaurants.

At Quaff, heavy emphasis is placed on two priorities; tasting, and grape varieties. Thus much of our daily life revolves around getting bottles open and putting glasses in hands, as the best way to help a customer understand a wine is for them to try it! We chose to organise the shop (and the website) by grape variety, for the simple reason that customers seem to find it easier to understand. If we can help a customer understand, for example, eight grape varieties, they hold the majority of the wine world in their hands; if we show them eight regions they’ve learnt far less. Incidentally, it also helps people to look afresh at previously unconsidered French regions. While we appreciate and entirely respect the more traditional notion of ‘terroir’, we feel that the variety is the most straight forward starting point for looking at a wine. Quaff Case Club
