Why we prefer Try January to Dry January

Rather than cutting out wine altogether, we love to use this month as an opportunity to try something new; whether that’s discovering a different grape or seeing how our favorite wines pair with foods.

Drink Better, Drink Less

But if you'd still like to "drink better, drink less" this January and are looking for ways to imbibe moderately but still enjoy yourself then we've got some top tips...

We love using a Coravin to enjoy bottles over several months, rather than saving them for special occasions. This way we can taste the wine at different stages of its aging and don't need worry about finishing it all right away.

For similar reasons, we think a decent bottle stopper is the one "wine gadget" that shouldn't be missing from any kitchen. It means you can open a bottle of sparkling wine as midweek treat and it'll last until weekend—what's not to love about that?

If spirits are more your tipple, like our Collaborators Dry Gin, then fill your glass with ice and mixer first before pouring a half measure of your favourite spirit over the top. But don't stir it! Use the tip of your finger to wipe a drop of gin around the rim of your glass too and you'll still enjoy all the gorgeous aromatics and aromas with only half the alcohol.
