Dianne Bourne visits wine shop that sells booze produced by and bought by celebrities
Drinks with star quality

WITH the likes of Jay-Z's champagne, Jon Bon Jovi's wine and Kendall Jenner's tequila on its shelves, this little shop in Alderley Edge has every bottle of celebrity wine and spirit that you could possibly imagine.

And, given its location at the heart of Cheshire's Golden Triangle, its customers include celebrities, footballers and VIPs too.

Despite that, Just Plonk was set up by its owners with the aim of no pretensions whatsoever - hence the name of the shop. Shop manager Nigel Ramsay, a dyed-in-the-wool Manc, has become something of a celebrity himself in the village, thanks to his quirky Instagram videos.

Nigel ran a wholesale food business in Manhest fore deciding while winetasting on holiday - that he might like to open his own wine shop.

The name for the shop came when he was tasting rare vintage wines and uttered the immortal words: "at Instagram' Katona has good fr Nigel Ra the end of the day, it's just plonk, isn't it?"
