More than 200 people attended family firm Connolly’s Wine Merchants’ annual winter tasting in the surroundings of the Book Rotunda at the iconic new Library of Birmingham.

Scores of wines from around the world were served at the sell-out event, together with craft beers, artisan whisky and gin.

Connolly’s, in business since 1976, has stores in Livery Street, Birmingham, and on Dovehouse Parade, Solihull.
