Hassle free order. Received welcome letter. Much appreciated. Thank you
Beautiful and well crafted, Thanks for the fast delivery
Faultless experience. Very impressed, thank you Hic!
It would have never entered my head to buy a Romanian wine but I had this in a restaurant and was blown away - it's delicious! Once home I googled it and found it at Hic so I promptly placed an order - it was a third of the price in the restaurant. Wine arrived well packed and with a lovely personalised note. Will definitely use this company again.
This is our favourite wine from our favourite restaurant! Fantastic quick, easy service. Looking forward to enjoying work our family at home. Will definitely return to order again. Thank you Andy & Michelle for lovely personal service x
Excellent service. And delicious wine which I first found in South of France. Highly recommend both Hic and the wine.
This is a really lovely champagne at a very competitive price. Great service from Hic! too.
Superb wine that’s easy to drink. Hic! Went to great lengths to sort complicated delivery, thanks for going extra mile
My favourite little sweet tipple 😍😍
This was a wine we had whilst at The Botanist in Worcester and it was simply lush and by far the best Malbec we have ever tasted so of course we had to find some for home too which led to HiC and placing an order for six bottles, we may have only had one of the bottles so far but it was as good as we remembered, just absolutely lovely, rich, lush, with body, can't comment on smell as for me I'm still waiting for the covid loss of smell to come back but the taste wow...!! This is now going to be our go to Malbec and is in the top three of red wines we would drink.
Incredible service, sustainable packaging, fantastic range of wine. I could not rate this retailer more!
What a fantastic company to buy from fast delivery excellent service very well packed, and a hand written thank you card, will definitely recommend and use again
Keep up the good work
Thanks mick
The wine was absolutely delicious. Someone who was convinced he did not like Pinotage thoroughly enjoyed the wine. Big thank you to Andy and Michelle for their incredible service getting the 2018 wine delivered on time. Thanks once again for the extra bottle to drink to your health and excellent service. Thanks.
I only recently discovered Hic!, but it's obvious that they know what they're doing - one could order blindfolded and be guaranteed that the wines received would be good.

The Chocolate Block 2021
The legendary Chocolate Block style is a reflection of the belief that the Cape, with its Mediterranean climate, is eminently suited to blended reds. The make-up of the wine is tweaked from vintage to vintage to best reflect the season and the ancient vines of great character that are an integral part of the wine’s charm and personality. The Chocolate Block 2021 marks the 20th vintage of this iconic wine, which is a blend of Syrah 74%; Grenache 10%; Cinsault 8%; Cabernet Sauvignon 7% and Viognier 1%. Intense blackberry, bramble, and lavender aromas with gentle nuances of potting soil and cured meat dominate a dark and brooding nose. The abundance of perfume and the earthy character of the nose follows through generously onto a powerful palate, with a lush compote of blueberries, ripe plums, black currants & cherries. Cacao powdery tannins are abundant, adding texture and complexity to an almost savoury mid-palate, seamlessly complementing the vivid dark fruits, alcohol and acidity. This is a robust, structured wine, yet it is delicate, poised and elegant at the same time. Black fruits, cumin spice, white pepper, liquorice and hints of garrigue persist on a velvety finish.[#intro]The 20th vintage of this unique & iconic wine is robust, poised & elegant...[/intro]

One of the Great Names in Champagne
Charles Heidsieck is one of the great names of Champagne and produces some of the finest of all champagnes. Based in Reims, it is the smallest of the Grandes Marques champagne Houses and is best-known for both vintage and non-vintage Champagnes.
Founded in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, the original 'Champagne Charlie', the foundation of its modern fame rests on the unrivalled quality of its wines, which receive countless awards and accolades year after year.
This success is attributable to the strength and depth of their winemaking team over the past three decades: Daniel Thibault, Régis Camus, Thierry Roset and Cyril Brun have between them been awarded 'Sparkling Winemaker of the Year' at the International Wine Challenge 16 times. No other house has won more than twice.
GAJA - Pioneers of Artisanal Italian Wine
The GAJA family has been growing vines and making wines for five generations and today they continue a tradition that started in 1859 in Piedmont.
Each generation nurtures the dreams and vision of the previous generation and builds and innovates for the next. The hugely charismatic family are respected worldwide and are driven to produce only the very best quality through an exacting attention to detail.
Angelo Gaja has single-handedly established Barbaresco as one of the great appellations of the world and the new generation led by Gaia is determined to continue the legacy.
The wines speak for themselves; Elegant, opulent and true to their origins.
Dyfi Award Winning Premium Craft Gin
Pronounced "Dovey" the Dyfi Distillery is a small, multi-award-winning premium Welsh gin producer that uses wild foraged botanicals from within the UNESCO Biosphere of Dyfi.
Pete Cameron is a hill farmer, forager, and beekeeper who moved to the area 35 years ago to study biology and botany. His brother, Danny Cameron, is a highly experienced wine and spirits professional, and a regular judge at the prestigious Decanter World Wine Awards.
In 2017, the Dyfi Pollination Gin won the Best British Gin trophy at the Great British Food awards, and Dyfi Hibernation Gin was awarded Best New Gin by The Independent newspaper. In 2018, Dyfi Original Gin again took the Best British Gin trophy, making Dyfi the only distillery to win this award for a second time.
These are truly remarkable gins that quite rightly deserve the high praise and recognition they are now garnering...a must try!
Benromach Single Speyside Malt Whisky
Benromach is a traditional Speyside distillery owned by a family of whisky-lovers intent on making single malt the right way with true character.
They keep things simple. A handful of distillers relying entirely on their expertise and senses to make the finest handmade whisky; Speyside single malt matured exclusively in first-fill casks, with a subtly smoky character. It takes just four ingredients – barley, water, yeast and a human touch.
All casks are hand-filled, individually weighed, stencilled by hand and stowed in the traditional dunnage warehouses. Why? Because at Benromach they believe making whisky by hand guarantees genuine character.
Award winning single Speyside Malt Whisky...
Penfolds The Collection | Grange & More...
Distinctive and consistently recognisable, Penfolds showcases a collection of benchmark wines, established in a spirit of innovation and the constant and endless pursuit of quality. Penfolds' superb Grange is Australia's most famous wine, created by the late and legendary Max Schubert, and through this single masterpiece Penfolds itself has become a living legend. Grange apart, Penfolds produce a family of fine wines, each with a distinct character, quality and provenance. The wines in The Penfolds Collection enjoy a remarkable heritage and evolution, reflecting the extraordinary energy and vision of the Penfolds winemakers. This family of fine wines display the distinctive and recognisable Penfolds ‘House Style’, making wines to style and pursuing the highest of quality benchmarks.
Biodynamics - Wine On A Spiritual Level
Biodynamic wine production is an approach to winemaking based upon the work of Austrian philosopher Rudolph Steiner. In addition to organic practices biodynamic farmers also consider the positioning and rhythmic influences of the sun, moon, planets and stars as guides for when to prune their vines, plant new vines or pick the fruit.
For winemakers the key principle of biodynamic wine production is totally logical. It makes no sense to extol the virtues on the geology of a vineyard, the unique aspects of its soil (its ‘terroir’) and what that imparts to the wine, if that soil is then totally transformed by a mixture of chemicals, herbicides and fertilisers. Healthy soil dictates healthy vines and experience has shown that biodynamic practices give rise to greater purity and precision in the resulting wines.
Vegan & Vegetarian Friendly Wines
For those who adopt a Vegetarian or Veganism lifestyle, choosing a bottle of wine as your preferred liquid refreshment may not be as straightforward as one would think.
Many would believe that a wine labelled as ‘organic’ or ‘biodynamic’ would be a good starting point, but this winemaking process has no bearing on whether the wine will be suitable for vegetarians or vegans. What is important is how the wine is treated or finished in the final stages of production and it is this which can create a potential moral hazard!
In order to aid the selection process we have put together a collection of wines that are marked as suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans.
