London · Established MMXXVI
FreePosh keeps a register of what Britain's finest houses give away — samples, tastings, upgrades, small services. Members hold a numbered warrant and claim them. Nothing costs anything, which is rather the point.
Three of the forty-one currently open. Entries close when the house says they close, so it pays to look on a Monday.
Marchmont Parfumeur — Jermyn Street, SW1
Decanted at the counter while you wait. One per person, per season. Bring the warrant; they will ask for the number, not your name.
Claim this —The Cavendish Cellars — Bloomsbury, WC1
Six wines poured from seven o'clock, twelve places a week. Buying a bottle afterwards is customary and entirely optional.
Claim this —Wilberforce & Sons — Hatton Garden, EC1
Bench work and pressure test at no cost; parts are charged at the usual rate. Ten working days, longer at Christmas.
Claim this —Old shops, mostly. They keep a little back for people who take the trouble to ask properly.
House names shown are placeholders for the launch build.
Give us an email address. We issue a warrant with your number on it, usually within the hour.
Pick an entry and show the number at the counter. The house does the rest, and asks nothing of you.
Warrants run a year and renew themselves quietly, unless you would rather they didn't.
There isn't one, exactly. The houses pay to be listed. You pay nothing, ever, for any of it. The catch, in full
We do not sell your address. Not to the houses, not to anyone. They see a warrant number at the counter and nothing else.
We do not take a cut of what you spend. If you buy a bottle after the tasting, that is between you and the cellar.
You can close a warrant in one click. The register forgets you the same day, which is more than most can say.
One address, one number, one year. There is no card to enter, because there is nothing to pay.
We write once when the warrant is ready, then once a week with new entries. Nothing else.
Warrant reserved
