After a rollercoaster of a year, a glass (or flight) may be in order.
And with much of the population celebrating from home this New Year’s Eve, a London-based winery is delivering special tastings to peoples’ doorsteps.
First opening their doors in Fulham in 2010, Vagabond now has six sites across London.
Known for its self-pour technology, customers can taste over 120 wines at the touch of a button.
But with stores shuttered Vagabond is finding new ways to liven up local lockdowns.
Customers can decide what tier they are in in thanks to virtual wine tasting experiences.

Three different packages are available for nationwide delivery – ‘Tier 1’, ‘Tier 2’, and ‘Tier 3’ – in time for people to ring in the New Year with good wine and good times.
All three wine packages include a wine flight with six wines to taste on their own terms, as well as a tasting mat which includes the need-to-know info about each wine and a QR code to help discover more.
The ‘Tier 3’ package comes with one flight of wine including a range of white, red and sweet wines.
Whilst the next level ‘Tier 2’, consists of an additional flight for a friend and a luxury cheese hamper courtesy of Harvey & Brockless.
Pushing the boat out a furthest is ‘Tier 1’, which includes a bottle of NV Jean Comyn Brut Champagne to celebrate, with cheese and condiments too.
Prices start from £50 and you can order your flight from https://shop.vagabondwines.co.uk/
