Both Sporting Wine Club and Hallgarten Wines align their own values and aspirations with those of Bath Rugby, and we are excited to see how the three businesses can grow in tandem and drive demand with sports fans.

Firstly, we wish to bring an industry-leading wine experience to all those associated with Bath Rugby as part of their day out at the Rec. Then more broadly, for people to see the value and fun of bringing friendships closer through wine and sport, with SWC. We hope to showcase the SWC membership and gifting opportunities, or simply encourage you to taste great wines and spirits with great sporting stories.

Lastly, for everyone involved to love and consume the wines on Bath Rugby’s wine list!
