\"Wine<\/a>London<\/strong> isn\u2019t your first thought for wine-related travel, right? It\u2019s easy to fall into that trap. After all, there are fantastic wineries \u2013 and bottles \u2013 from Buenos Aires to Barcelona<\/strong> and beyond. London? That\u2019s usually not on the list. As a traditional wine<\/strong> destination, London doesn\u2019t make the cut. But, you can still find some great wines, even if they are made elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Whether you want a bottle for to take back to your hotel room for the evening or plan to take something interesting home, your first step needs to be Borough Market, just across the river from City.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll wander Borough Market and see vegetables, meat and even grilled cheese sandwiches (they were out by the time I got there, and I\u2019m still upset about that fact \u2013 so get there early). As you navigate the paths from one kiosk to another, you\u2019ll eventually run into a wine shop. Be prepared to spend a fair amount of time there looking through the inventory; there\u2019s certainly enough of it.<\/p>\n

On my last trip to Borough Market, I found an amazing bottle of white port, and it has become my new standard for that particular wine. And, I found a few other wines I\u2019d never seen before, giving me the chance to try something new (which I always enjoy).<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the plan \u2013 why get wine at Borough Market?<\/p>\n

Well, in part, you can save a few bucks in the evening, cracking a bottle of wine in your room rather than hitting a local pub. Add that to the savings on your cheap tickets to London<\/a><\/strong> and discount hotel room. Additionally, you can bring a few bottles home. Serve them up with a fun or special meal, and you\u2019ll get both a fun wine with your meal and the opportunity to relive your London memories.<\/p>\n

When you take your next trip to London, set aside some time to head over to Borough Market, and pick up a few bottles of wine. Leave some room in your suitcase, and use these tips, travel with breakables<\/strong>, to make sure your bottles don\u2019t break on the way home.<\/p>\n
