Ad Hoc Wine Shop

You'll find Ad Hoc tucked away on Edge Street in the Northern Quarter, and it's the kind of place that makes you realise how many rubbish wine shops there actually are. Walk in and you're greeted by someone who can talk you through a natural orange without being pretentious about it, or point you towards a decent bottle under a tenner if that's your budget. The selection's thoughtful rather than overwhelming—they're clearly tasting things themselves rather than just shifting stock. Whether you're after an obscure Slovenian white or a reliable everyday red, there's a real sense that someone's actually chosen everything on these shelves with care.
