Introducing “Bridget” Sparkling Pink – A Toast to One Very Special Pig
We’re thrilled to share that our friends at Renegade Urban Winery have created something truly special in honour of one of our most beloved residents – Bridget the pig, who proudly graced the January page of our 2025 calendar.
To celebrate Bridget’s charm and spirit, Renegade has released a limited edition wine: 🍾 Bridget 2023 Sparkling Pink
And it gets even better – they’ve generously donated 36 bottles to help support the sanctuary. That means the first 36 bottles sold will be shipped directly from us (unless Percy finds them first 🐷), and 100% of the profits from those bottles will go straight to helping us care for our animals.
About Renegade Urban Winery
Renegade Urban Winery is a cutting-edge, independent winery based in East London. Founded in 2016, Renegade is known for its bold, modern approach to winemaking. Rather than owning vineyards, they source top-quality, hand-harvested grapes from across the UK and Europe, which are swiftly transported to their urban winery in Walthamstow. There, the grapes are transformed into innovative, small-batch wines using contemporary techniques and a deep passion for quality.
Originally located in Bethnal Green, Renegade has since expanded to a state-of-the-art facility in Walthamstow, which includes a winery, bar, and kitchen. Their Bethnal Green site continues to operate as a vibrant wine bar. Renegade’s mission is to challenge traditional winemaking by crafting distinctive wines that are as expressive as they are sustainable.

What’s the wine like?
Raspberries, cream, white pepper and doughnut loving!!
Doughnut loving because Bridget loves a doughnut (and bananas). We needed to use these in volume to get her to let us take her photo.
Bridget is a complex, well made wine. She is very approachable, lovely mouthfeel, very dry (6g/L of sugar), great small bubbles (bead) and crafted with real care.
Soft fruit on the nose, far too easy to drink, well rounded and approachable. The small amount of English Cabernet Sauvignon really adds that little bit of something special and different to the wine. Who knew England grew Cab Sav? Well, they don’t really, just one or two small, passionate farmers aka grape growers.
The wine is also super pale, like, guess what, a pigs nose. Pigs Nose Pink even, hence the name.
This wine is sold by Renegade Urban Winery, Lockwood Way, London E17 5RB - Licensing Act 2003 – License Number: G04517LOCK/3.
