Shopping in Selfridges







We came across this in Selfridges in Birmingham and fell in love with the concept. I did some research so that we could show it to you!
Look, taste, enjoy. that is the tagline of vom fass, a German purveyor of exquisite vinegars, oils, wines, liquers and spirits all straight from the cask. Vom Fass is available at Selfridges and Harrods in London and other locations all over the uk. it's also available at galeries lafayette in paris or online.
It was only 11:30 in the morning so we swung by the food halls to see what was on offer. Oh my, what wasn't on offer! from Yo Sushi to Krispy Kreme doughnuts, chocolates american brands, a wide selection of cheeses to fresh pasta and lots more, we were completely blown away by the sheer variety of food stuff on display.
We were still walking around the food court when we ran into a section which had these beautiful coloured casks filled with exotic sounding liquors. Lovely empty glass bottles of various shapes and sized lined the shelves, waiting to be taken home.
the Vom Fass concept is very simple. pick a wine, liquor, vinegar, oil of your choice after tasting as many as you like. Select a bottle shape that you like in the size that you want. The name of your selection is written in beautiful handwriting on the bottle along with the percentage of alcohol.

The sales people wouldn't allow us to take any photos due to copyright.
