Alcohol Delivery in London

NIO Cocktails

NIO stands for Needs Ice Only: cocktails come ready to drink, with no other specialist knowledge, ingredients or bar implements required. Boxes can hold either three, six or nine cocktails, which are each packaged in a uniquely-designed sleeve – ideal for lining up on a shelf to stock up your own home bar. When drinks o’clock arrives, simply shake the sleeve, pinch and tear off the corner and pour over ice. Boxes from £19.50. niococktails.co.uk

Download the Drop app, which bills itself as a ‘virtual sommelier in your pocket.’ Launched by London restaurateurs Ian Campbell and Will Palmer, Drop aims to take the stresses out of picnics – no more lukewarm wine or lugging bottles across the common. Sunny day? Add ice to your order. Getting peckish? Pop some nibbles on the side. Drop will deliver to any London park or garden within the hour. dropwine.co.uk

Craft Whiskey Club

Create home-tasting whisky sessions with the Craft Whisky Club. From casks to pairings, the whisky classics are delivered directly to your door, handpicked by resident experts ensuring you receive the finest small batch and artisan whiskies.

The Sorting Table

New kids on the fine wine block, The Sorting Table is redefining what the best vino means in the 21st century, and making it easier to discover fresh new bottles and makers. ‘It doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive but have identity,’ says Rajat Parr, award-winning sommelier and founding partner, summing up The Sorting Table’s approach. ‘A wine that has something to say to the drinker who is curious. It’s not just a beverage but a symbol of comfort and identity.’ The result is a collection of wines that are handpicked for their unique stories, exciting terroirs and the passion of their makers. I tried Wild Air, a tart, savoury, fruity sauvignon blanc from South Africa. As a devotee of New Zealand sauv’ blancs, this pick will definitely have me perusing the South Africa section more in the future. thesortingtable.co.uk
