Watson’s Wine Cellar

One of the most exciting new developments for wine lovers is the arrival of new bars offering tastings of premium wines using new ‘enomatic’ technology that permits them to open a bottle and preserve the contents indefinitely. It means that tasting a seriously rare (and expensive) wine is possible without completely bankrupting yourself. You create a tab by handing over your credit card in exchange for a smart card, which you use to operate the wine dispensing machines, which can deliver a few millilitres for an inexpensive taste or a full glass once you’ve made your choice. Watson's is more centred on sales than a place to socialise. The enomatic machines enable you to try wine before you head into the attached shop to buy. Knowledgeable staff will assist in the shop, but leave you to get on with the machines and tastings in the cellar itself.
