The story of Victoria Wine, a company that grew from a single shop in Mark Lane, London in 1865 to over 900 shops by the time this book was published.

Sadly, it went out of business a few years ago along with many other drinks chains in the UK. The company brand still exists but is now part of a French conglomerate.

On a personal note, “Vicky Wines” is where my friends an I used to buy our booze when we were too young to be doing so.
