Bubble Brothers

One of my favourite stalls at the English Market. Bubble Brothers has helped me out during countless gift-​buying panics. The staff at the market are always good at doling out advice even when they’re talking to a wine-​moron like me!
Prices are very competitive too, they cater to any budget and the service is worth the difference.

You look for wine from France, Spain, Italy or… Japan? This shop, which also can be found in the English Market in the Cork city centre (phone: 021 425 4641), offers red and white wine as well as rosé and champagne. The shop looks a little like a storage facility, because that was the purpose of the building. The selection is above the price range of Tesco, Aldi or SuperValu, the prices as well, but the knowledge and the service is worth the price. Champagne bottles for a single person as well as Magnum bottles are available. The majority of the wines is coming from France and I was amazed to see a view bottles from the Loire region, which is quite unknown compared to Côte du Rhone etc. If you want a good wine AND service, see the Bubble Brothers.

BUBBLE BROTHERS 19.10.10
Called into Bubble Brothers shop in the English Market today and, during a pleasant chat, found they were looking forward to an interesting time between now and Christmas.
Just last evening, they were one of the wine suppliers as
launched in the English Market. Indeed, you may buy Bubble Brothers wine through the new company’s site.
The Toys for Big Boys Show comes to Cork for the first time next month. It will be held in the ARC Arena between November 19^th and 21^st. See
for details, including tickets.
The show features luxury items and highlights include a Formula 1 car, a Maserati GT, a Ferrari and a Bentley among others. What have Bubble Bros got to do with all this? Well, they’ll be supplying the bubbly, of course.
A few weeks later, the BB boys and girls will be strutting their own stuff on home turf when they host a tasting event at their Wine Depot in the Marina Commercial Park. About six producers will be featured and there’ll nibbles galore and good deals ahead of the Christmas. Admission will be about seven or eight euro.
BUBBLE BROTHERS
Pleasantly surprised when picking up an order this week from Bubble Brothers store in Centre Park Road as the budget reduction of 60 cent per bottle had been applied. Sixty cent may not seem that great but when it is applied to a couple of cases, it can make quite a difference. Well done to Bubble and indeed to the other wine sellers who have rapidly applied the tax cut. I also noticed it in my pint at the Cotton Ball (did you see their Christmas lights?) last night.
Bubble Brothers, as you may know, have quite a selection at Centre Park Road. They have a lot less room at the English Market but they make the best of it. I suppose the rule would be: the Market for a bottle or two, Centre Park Road (easy parking) for a case or two. In any event, the same high standards of service and courtesy apply.
I’m looking forward to the Xanadu Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the cases I picked up this week. Came across it at the Good Wine Show and thought it was a winner.

Excellent selection, competitve prices and friendly, helpful staff. What more could you ask for?!!

Bubble Brothers are excellent at what they do, and that is provide quality wine to suit all budgets.
They source delcious wines from all over the world that are exclusive to them. Also the staff are very friendly and will be delighted to help you choose a lovely bottle.

Great champagne! A bit pricey but so worth it. They have a nice selection at the Olde English Market and if you want to just sit on the couch without making your way into town check out their website!

Champagne for everyone! Bubble Brothers sell champagne either at their English market shop or online. They’ve branched out from the bubbles though to all sorts of wines from around the world, as well as japanese sake, balkan plum spirits and global beers.
There’s also coffee and other non-​alcoholic drinks — but I’m there for the bubbles!
