Takeaway night is a regular fixture for many of us in Frome, but that doesn’t mean the wine has to be an afterthought. At our independent wine shop in Frome, we help customers every week find bottles that turn a sofa supper into a genuinely great food-and-wine pairing.

Whether you’re picking up pizza, curry, or a loaded kebab, here’s our local guide to the best wines to pair with a takeaway, all available in store in Frome or online for local delivery.

🍕 Best Wine with Pizza

Tomato sauce, melted cheese, and salty toppings need wines with good acidity and freshness.
