Success? It’s down to taste

STAFF at the Italian Wine Cellar in Durham's popular Indoor Market have reported a boom in sales which the company puts down to Durham's discerning palate when it comes to quality food and drink.

As a result, the owner, Giovanni Vigliansi, has decided to consolidate his businesses and now offers an expanded range of quality wines, whiskies and Italian food from the Wine Cellar.

"Having come to the Indoor Market a year ago, we have been astonished by the enormous demand for our products amongst tourists and locals alike," says Giovanni.

"Our success goes to prove that the people of Durham are increasingly concerned with seeking out more refined product. Our organic wine and whisky collection range have become exceptionally popular."

The store is located at one of the main entrances from the Market Place. The range of wines includes many familiar labels available at prices comparable to major supermarkets, as well as some more unusual brands, such as a range of Italian champagnes usually available only via Harrods and Selfridges.

Market manager Joanne Price is always looking to bring in more variation to the Indoor market to enhance the shopping experience: "We are delighted with Giovanni's success and being located near the fishmongers, poultry and cheese stalls means there is an excellent range of food and drink all next to each other."

The store has the atmosphere of a traditional Italian wine cellar with a vaulted ceiling and wooden display racks, providing a rustic atmosphere that customers can savour as they contemplate their purchases.
