COSY, candlelit bar Melo Melo has opened its doors in West Bridgford, serving wine and sharing boards of characuterie and cheese.

With seating for just 34 inside, and a further six outside, the imitate setting has proved an instant hit with wine-loving locals, so much so, that the range of premium spirits and beers have virtually gone unnoticed.

The town's only dedicated wine bar, in Stratford Road, has a 27-strong wine list with four specials that will change over time.

Plans for the future include tastings and pairing events

The six sparkling include Cava from Spain, a classic cuvee brut from Kent and four Champagnes, ranging from £7 a glass to £110 a bottle for Pol Roger 2018 Vintage.

Chardonnay, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc feature in the section of eight whites along with lesser known varieties such as Gavi di Gavi, a dry Italian white from Piedmont.

A classic summery Provence rose appears on the menu, in a range of sizes right up to a £70 magnum while the big bold reds are perfect as the season changes.
