One of my favourite shops in Richmond is Philglas & Swiggott, a fabulous wine shop. Read the shop's name aloud and see if you get the clever play on words....I didn't for ages!

I first discovered the shop a few years ago, after a visit to one of my favourite wineries back in Australia. After doing some wine tasting I asked them if their wine was stocked anywhere in London, and they said yes, but only at Philglas & Swiggott. Of course when I arrived back to London I headed there to stock up on a few bottles, and have been going back ever since.

There are 3 stores in the Philglas & Swiggott family - the first opening back in 1991 in Battersea, then Richmond opening in 2003 and Marylebone following in 2005. Originally only Australian wines were stocked, but these days they stock a range of interesting wines from across the world, still with a good selection of Aussies wines on hand.

Prices are reasonable, staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and it is a very dangerous place for me to visit - I can't just pop in for a browse...I always walk away with something.]]> Mon, 31 Dec 2007 15:49:14 +0000 /review/uk/richmond-upon-thames/food/1c94o8b/philglas-and-swiggot/1e36i71978259667 sue wine rare finds 51.457411 -0.304208
