Alliance Wine is holding its first London portfolio tasting at The Gallery at Vinopolis on 13 September. Based in Scotland, the 20-year-old company has earmarked the London area for growth and has decided to present its portfolio to the capital's trade. The tasting will be the first opportunity to taste the Botalcura wines from Chile, a new addition to the Alliance portfolio. Also at the tasting will be Michael Twelftree from Australia's Two Hands, who will launch the new vintages of his Garden Series Shiraz. Alliance Wine will also be running a taxi service to enable visitors to be picked up anywhere in central London to be taken to Vinopolis.
