Introduction | Wine List

For A Relaxed And Stylish Night Out

Bar 1861, so called because that was the year in which the Corn Exchange was completed, offers a relaxed and sophisticated setting for drinks and informal meetings with friends and colleagues.

On the first floor of The Corn Exchange - in what was formally known as 'the balcony bar' - Bar 1861 has been completely refurbished and provides draft beer and a broad range of wines in a modern, laid back setting, the bar is open before during and after films and performances at The Corn Exchange.

WHITE | ROSÉ | RED | CHAMPAGNE

Cutler Crest
Chardonnay
USA

Crisp fruit flavours of melon, peach, apricots and even a hint of Vanilla provide a well-balanced almost creamy finish to this delightfully dry wine.

Canata Hacienda
Del Rey Sauvignon Blanc
Chile

Refreshingly crisp, light bodied and dry with a delicate aroma of gooseberries.  An attractive style with bags of classic invigorating lemon grass zestiness.  

Vina Esmerelda
Torres
Spain

A wine which is both floral and fragrant, while at the same time retaining a crisp, elegant palette.   

Vita Di Storie
Pinot Grigio
Italy

Displaying an abundance of fresh lemon zest and passion fruit flavours, followed by a soft and fragrant bouquet with a lively, vibrant yet dry and elegant finish.

ROSÉ

Canaletto
Pinot Grigio Ramato
Italy

The grapes have been left on the skins for longer than usual so that the wine develops a beautiful pale pink colour, Ramato in Italian. The result is a completely dry and crisp style, very smooth and reminiscent of summer fruits.

RED

Cutler Creek
Zinfandel
USA

Youthful, brambly jammy fruits are plentiful. The Zinfandel grape has been adopted by California and the style of wine is very easy drinking with soft tannins and a lively finish.

Canata Hacienda Del Rey
Merlot
Chile

Deep colour. Good ripe fruit with flavour of tobacco and cedar on the nose. Followed by juicy ripe fruit, with flavours of plums, mint and oak.  

Veramonte
Cabernet Sauvignon
Chile

Deep-Coloured with Black Cherry and Blackberry fruit flavours.

Don Jacobo

Rioja Crianza Tinto

Spain

A traditional red Rioja very much in Bodegas Corral's style, matured for a minimum of 19 months in oak followed by a year in the bottle.

SPARKLING & CHAMPAGNE

Berri Estates
Cuvee Brut
Australia

Soft and sparkling with a lively effervescence, a perfect combination of fruit and acidity.

Piper-Heidsieck Brut
Champagne
France

Young, lively fruit flavours and a fresh, vivid aroma characterise this attractive Champagne.
