Folc’s Pinot Noir Rosé, produced and bottled in England, is the perfect accompaniment for the English summer… best enjoyed in your nearest Fuller’s garden. As part of our English Wine Month celebrations, you can buy a small glass of any English Wine for £7.50 throughout June.

Plus, working with brands such as .folc – who have developed more lightweight packaging while working hard to promote soil health and biodiversity as part of their winemaking philosophy – means we can offer you delicious wine that has less impact on the planet.
