The Ninth
This is a 135 bottle list at a one star kitchen, split fairly evenly between red and white with a serious tail of 15 dessert and fortified wines, so keep Sauternes in mind from Château Roumieu when a guest finishes sweet. The backbone is Italy and France, with Brigaldara in Valpolicella and Lanson leading the Champagne pages at eight listings, plus a few oddities worth knowing like the Pfalz from Hanewald Schwerdt and English fizz from Coates & Seely. The glass program is genuinely deep at 34 wines, which means you can pour across the whole meal without reaching for a bottle, and prices run friendly with glasses landing around 10 to 14 GBP. It rewards a guest who wants to drink by the glass and follow the food rather than commit early, and it gives you room to steer toward Italy or off the beaten path when someone is open to it.
