FORTIETH RULE

FORTIETH RULE is an independent family-run winery set in the Northamptonshire countryside, showcasing the best of English wine. Our passion for wine is met with a scientific background that pushes for quality and interrogates the winemaking process.

Writing on bespoke wine

Bespoke

Interested in a bespoke wine for your organisation or for a particular event? A personalised wine is an incredible way to mark any occasion or to ensure you stand out (as was tried and tested at Josh’s own wedding!). We offer a fully bespoke service - there is no set way we have to do it or minimum cost. We would love to hear from you and re-create the custom English wine experience for you.
