9 Vines Wine Merchants & Bar

You'll find yourself on Woodland Parade in Hove, where 9 Vines operates as both a retail wine merchant and a proper drinking spot. It's the kind of place where you can rock up for a glass of something interesting without feeling like you need to dress up or know the difference between a Diois and a Drôme (though they'll happily explain if you ask). The setup is intimate—there's real personality here, and the people behind the counter genuinely seem to love what they're doing. Whether you're after a bottle to take home or planning to settle in with a glass, you're getting proper curation rather than the usual supermarket suspects.
