Wine lovers can tickle their tastebuds with a selection of award-winning wines at three local pubs taking part in a 19-day wine festival.

The Moon Under Water in Cradley Heath, The Britannia in Rowley Regis and The William Shenstone in Halesowen are all taking part in the wine festival which runs from September 17 until October 5.

Six new wines will be on offer, including a Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2006 from South Australia and a German Naked Grape Riesling 2006, none of which have previously been served in the pubs.

The wines will be sold at £2.20 for a 175ml glass, at £2.95 for a 250ml glass and at £7.69 for a bottle.

The Moon Under Water manager Maxine Tolley said: “The wine festival will give people the opportunity to sample a range of award-winning wines at affordable prices.”
