One of Bristol’s oldest companies is celebrating a momentous milestone this year after more than two centuries of business. Averys Wine Cellars will be 230 years old next month at least - as 1793 is as far back as records go for the wine merchant.
Averys is a fine wine merchant based on Culver Street in Bristol, selling bottles for every budget from £6.99 to £1,000. “Once you’re in here it’s like an Aladin’s Cave, both visually and in content,” said Brand Ambassador, Mimi Avery.
The shop floor is filled with rows and rows of bottles from all corners of the world - 23 to be exact, including France, Portugal, Germany, New Zealand and South Africa - although, the number changes as the shop sources different wines over time.
