Hand-Picked Wines & Craft Spirits
Welcome to Hic! | Independent Wine Merchants
Independent Quality. Zero Snobbery.
We are an independent, family-run wine specialist launched on the belief that great wine should be accessible, exciting, and honest. Consequently, we've cut through the snobbery so you can focus on the pour!
You don't need to be an expert to drink brilliant wine. For over 25 years, we have used our independence to work directly with the UK’s finest shippers, hand-picking bottles that truly capture the character of where they were grown. This approach allows us to secure the most sought-after wines and provide competitive pricing across our entire range.
Our focus is on a bespoke retail service tailored to how you actually want to drink. From our store in Ledston, we provide expert, personal guidance and secure shipping across the UK, ensuring that whether you are hunting a specific rarity or a reliable weekday bottle, the experience is seamless.
We sell by the bottle because we respect your choice and there's no minimum order, just maximum discovery!
BRILLIANT BOTTLES, ALWAYS UNDER £15
Over the years we've tasted thousands of bottles so you don't have to waste a penny.
Our "Everyday Drinkers" collection is the result of our constant search for hidden gems - those expressive, honest wines that punch well above their weight but keep the price of a glass well within reach.
Whether it’s a bright, crisp white for a Tuesday night or a smooth, reliable red for a weekend gathering, this range provides a daily selection of genuinely exciting wines to please both the palate and the pocket.
Take the risk out of trying something new. With our single-bottle freedom and no minimum order, you can mix a case of unique, family-made wines and discover your next favourite bottle for under £15.
It's quality and confidence, served affordably!

THE ULTIMATE THIRST QUENCHER
A lazy, sun-drenched afternoon is something to be completely savoured. It is the perfect excuse to step away from the daily routine and head outside. When you are relaxing in the sun, the wine in your glass should reflect the mood perfectly. That is why we have put together a brilliant lineup of rosé wines built specifically for easy drinking and absolute enjoyment. These are bottles with real character - wines that are incredibly refreshing but still packed with authentic, delicious flavour.
This selection spans the crisp, super-pale pinks of Provence, right through to the vibrant Rosados from Spain that are bursting with summer fruit. Because a sunny day can easily turn into a celebration, we have also included a stellar lineup of pink Champagne and premium English fizz.
Every bottle here has been chosen because it delivers outstanding quality and genuine character.
Find your favourite, chill it down, and enjoy the sunshine.

THE RED WINE RULEBREAKER
Forget the old stereotypes of simple, early-release wines. The rugged granite slopes of the ten Beaujolais Crus are quietly producing some of the most thrilling and expressive red wines in France. Crafted entirely from the Gamay grape, these are seriously structured yet incredibly energetic pours.
They are the ultimate summer reds, perfectly suited to a light chill that brings out their vibrant red cherry fruit and subtle, earthy spice. Here at Hic! we focus on the artisanal, family-owned estates that are pushing the boundaries of what this historic region can achieve.
Whether you are seeking a beautifully floral Fleurie for a relaxed lunch or a deeply structured Morgon to lay down in the cellar, these are serious, vibrant wines that offer phenomenal value.

A BRACING WAVE OF ATLANTIC FRESHNESS
While the sun-baked plains of inland Spain dominate the headlines, the green, rain-swept coastline of Galicia produces a completely different story. Crafted from the Albariño grape, this is a wine defined by its bracing, ocean-influenced energy and striking purity.
It is the ultimate pour for warm summer evenings and the undisputed champion of seafood. Here at Hic! we offer a range that captures that incredible Atlantic freshness, delivering mouth-watering citrus and subtle white peach notes that sing alongside fresh shellfish or a simple summer salad.
Whether you are grabbing a single bottle for a sunny afternoon or stocking the fridge for a weekend gathering, this is a lineup of dynamic, coastal whites that completely bypass the predictable.

PIEDMONT’S ARISTOCRATIC ANSWER
While the red giants of Barolo often hog the spotlight, the true authority of the Piedmont table is found in the limestone ridges of Gavi. This is a wine of startling clarity and focus. Crafted from the Cortese grape, it has a sophisticated, crisp backbone that outclasses the everyday and thrives during a long, relaxed dinner.
It is the definitive choice for those who want a bit more character from their white wine. Here at Hic! we offer a range that is bright, refreshing, and sharp enough to cut through a rich, creamy pasta or the freshest seafood.
Whether you are picking up a single bottle for a weekend lunch or building a mixed case for the cellar, this is a selection of Gavi that you won’t find on a standard supermarket shelf!
