Product Information

We’ve been here before. The magistrate Henry Fielding, author of Tom Jones, wrote in 1751 that gin caused a “new kind of drunkenness.” More recently the tabloid press dubbed English football hooligans “lager louts” as if it was the fizzy beer that was the problem rather than that many supporters were more interested in fighting than football. That pint follows some early (and sometimes ill-advised) experiments with bevvy, usually with your pals, at someone's empty or hidden away in a park as far away from a responsible adult (and the polis) as possible.

Abbot Anscar Vonier with Sir Robert Harvey who donated a peal of fourteen bells to the Abbey in 1910, in memory of his wife, Alida. The final phase of the rebuilding of the Church saw the completion of the tower to accommodate the superb set of bells which had been donated in 1910. The final stone was laid on the tower on the 24th July 1937, completing thirty-two years work. It was not until December of the following year that the pointing was finished, and the scaffolding removed.Abbot Anscar Vonier with Mr and Mrs Schiller, generous benefactors and contributors to the Abbey Church rebuilding, with Br Peter and his fellow builders, 1925. She hated and still hates the taste of vodka, whisky and red and white wine so the toxic brew fast became her favourite tipple. Shelly fell in love with the drink chilled, in a wine glass in front of the television, or drunk in shot glasses on a big night out. Matt's Tattoos in Wishaw drew up a design especially for her and she spent half an hour under the needle in June. In the meantime, work was under way to improve the monastery buildings. The Abbot’s Tower had been restored, and a temporary church (now the Chapter House) had been erected next to it. This was opened on the 25th March 1884. Also in 1884, work started on the south wing of the monastery, which was to include the kitchen, refectory, and cloister, mostly paid for by Lord Clifford of Chudleigh.

It has built itself a terrible repution thanks to the less desirable folk who drink it and then cause mischief. I don't doubt that those folk would have caused mischief anyway, but that shouldn't entirely reflect badly on the drink. So maybe the rest of Scotland sees it as a bizarre underdog, worthy of championing?"

Donation

The clinical support worker at Wishaw General Hospital started on the budget wine aged 16 when she started drinking it on bored evenings with pals. First was the transfer of the Community from the Subiaco Congregation to the English Benedictine Congregation which enabled closer links with other monasteries in the British Isles. A defining characteristic of Communities within the English Benedictine Congregation (EBC) was the provision of education within their schools. The building work continued throughout the First World War, during which time the community (two-thirds of whom were German) were prohibited from leaving the monastery without special licence, also enduring the hostility of some of the local population.
