Levels Bottle Shop Ltd

You know that feeling when you walk into a wine bar and the staff treat you like you've wandered into their living room? That's Levels. Tucked away on Compton Street near the Grand Hotel, it's the kind of place where they'll happily spend twenty minutes discussing a Burgundy or finding you something interesting under a tenner. The selection punches well above what you'd expect from a town-centre spot, with a rotating cast of interesting European and natural wines alongside classics. It's intimate without being stuffy—you can absolutely pop in for a glass and a chat, or get properly lost in conversation about fermentation methods.
