Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”

Significant events
- “The business undertook a number of improvement projects in the year, the most significant being insourcing our storage requirements with a new bonded warehouse. This came fully online in June 2025 and offers significant storage capacity.”
- “Investments were further made in upgrades to our bag-in-box line, which now gives us the capability to pack between 1.5 litre and 5 litre in an automated manner.”
- “The conversion of the winery boilers to be able to use Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil, which is a cleaner fuel option and part of our commitment to remove fossil fuels from site.”
- “In March 2025 we packed aluminium bottles for the first time. These were successfully launched by Aldi in the following month as the UK's first supermarket own-brand aluminium wine bottle.”
