About Market Hall Wines
Market Hall Wines is an independent wine merchant trading from units within Durham's Victorian Market Hall in the Market Place. It aims to bring wines from noted producers and regions into the heart of the city, alongside fresh craft beers, artisan gin, small-batch whiskies and other spirits. The range spans white, red, rosé, sparkling and fortified wines, plus cider and a broad spirits selection.
The shop also champions local producers, stocking regional fayre next to its wider drinks range. Its home among the market's independent traders gives it an approachable, browse-and-ask feel, and staff can guide customers towards bottles for everyday drinking or something more special. Sitting a few minutes from the cathedral, it is a convenient stop for anyone looking for a considered alternative to supermarket shelves.
