Uncorked is one of the UK’s leading small, independent wine merchants. Working here involves spending a lot of time saying no to hopeful suppliers whose wine just doesn’t make it in the quality stakes. The wines we buy from individual producers to sell to individual customers are here because we enjoy them, because they are very well crafted, and because the wine grower works in a way which we consider honest and transparent. Our size means that the whole team is involved in many of the decision-making tastings. It means we can be quick on our feet. It also means that our staff are better informed and that we can offer a more personal service. uncorked.co.uk |
About the Gingerbread CityThe Gingerbread City is an exhibition created by the Museum of Architecture with the aim of connecting the public with architecture and design professions through an innovative themed display.
Now in its third year, the city is based on a masterplan designed by Tibbalds Planning and Urban Design. Each year, key UK-based architecture practices respond to the masterplan by designing buildings, parks and public spaces as well as baking them out of gingerbread. The exhibition is MoA's annual fundraising project that supports its year-long programming and activities. ColophonExhibition created by the Museum of Architecture
