Wine Vending Machines - Try Before You Buy

The Sampler is an award-winning independent wine merchant where you can try up to 80 wines from wine vending machines before choosing from the 1,000+ wines in stock.

Yep, you read that right. Vending machines for wine samples. And it's across the whole range from under £10 to over £1,000 a bottle. The cheapest sample is under 50p and, in the rare 'Wine Icons' machine, I saw samples at over £50.

But this 'try before you buy' style of wine selection means you no longer have to choose by the prettiest label or the supermarket special offers. Small vineyards and wine producers, or excellent vintages, are now accessible to all.
