Despite the name, this is not a type of wine but rather a robust, often richly coloured ale. Barley wine is usually very strong, often with an ABV of between 10 and 12 per cent, and is stored for periods as long at 18 months or two years to mature and allow the complex flavours to mellow. It is traditionally served in ‘nips’ (approximately 200 ml / ⅓ pint measures).
