Liverpool restaurant Trattoria 51 has introduced a range of organic vegetarian and vegan wines to further extend its already extensive wine list.
The Old Hall Street eatery, which is renowned for its broad list of Italian wines, has taken the step in order to cater for guests who lead an organic green lifestyle.
According to a survey conducted by The Vegan Society last year, at least 542,000 people in Britain are now following a vegan diet and never consume any animal products.
However, vegetarians and vegans are often limited when it comes to choosing wine as many are produced using animal by-products.
Restaurateur Attilio Sergi has recognised that issue and has now taken the step to provide his guests with alternative grape variations to better suit their needs.
“Over the years we have noticed a growing trend for those adopting a vegetarian and vegan lifestyle,” he said.
“To ensure that there’s something that all of our guests can enjoy, we frequently update our menus and that’s why we wanted to introduce a wine selection that can be perfectly paired to complement our dishes.”
“95% of our wine selection is vegan or vegetarian, which means that our drinkers and diners are not limited in choice.”
“We hope that our new wine offerings will become a firm favourite with our guests who often feel restricted when it comes to finding suitable wines when out dining and drinking.”
