Arch 13 arriving in Livery St soon...

With a heritage that extends back into the 19th century, alongside shipping wine into Birmingham since 1906, we're expanding the business with the introduction of our first wine bar 'Arch 13 at Connolly's'.

“Arch 13 will offer a relaxed and informal atmosphere to enjoy wine and well-paired food. This marks a new chapter in the history of our family business and we’re looking forward to welcoming our customers to our first on-licensed space.” A. Connolly 2018

The wine bar will take residence at the front of our existing address under the arches on Livery Street, with the launch spearheaded by Abigail Connolly, daughter of Chris and Tania. Fear not shoppers- all the wines, spirits and craft beers you love will still be available to take home from a brand spanking new shop area to the rear (with some rather cool new features, watch this space for more...)

Arch 13 is due to open in May 2018.

The Half Bottle – it’s a thing of beauty

March 14, 2023

Years ago, before very clever folk started coming up with all manner of means to keep open bottles of wine (reasonably) fresh, half bottles of wine were a thing. Growers would routinely bottle a modest proportion of their harvest into half bottles and restaurants in particular, would carry them, largely for the benefit of solo diners
