Salut Wines

Salut Wines promise a Mancunian no-nonsense attitude to wine drinking and with more than 40 glasses of the stuff available at their sleek, intimate spot on Cooper Street in Manchester, they've quickly become one of the most talked about wine bars in Manchester.

Salut Wines believe their big selling point is their Enomatic wine serving system, which enables bottles of wine to be opened and protected from oxidation. Their staff also take pride in their knowledge of grapes from the world over and are always on hand to help out customers looking to buy a bottle to take home.

As the company has expanded it has also introduced a food menu including sharing platters, hearty sandwiches and nibbles to go with your tipple, while specialist events and tasting sessions are also now a regular feature. Those offering their custom can do so safe in the knowledge that all staff are paid the living wage as well as all tips, the company also incredibly aware of their carbon footprint. [William Gunn]
