Cotteridge Wines in Bournville

You know, when I think about Cotteridge Wines, it really stands out as one of those hidden gems in Birmingham that's perfect for anyone who's passionate about good drinks. The staff are just lovely – always up for a chat and full of recommendations, which makes the whole experience feel warm and personal. They've got this incredible range of craft beers, ales, ciders, and wines that covers everything from local brews to international favourites, and at prices that feel genuinely fair, so you can try a few without worrying too much about the cost. The tap room out the back is a nice touch too, letting you sample some amazing local beers in a relaxed setting. On the downside, though, it does wrap up fairly early most days, around 6pm, so it's not ideal if you're planning a proper night out. And while it's brilliant for a quiet drink and a browse, it might not have that energetic pub buzz if that's what you're after. All in all, it's a solid choice for a laid-back visit with mates, especially if you're keen to discover new tipples – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area!
