141 Years On, This Local Institution Knows How To Make It A Good Christmas
As Christmas approaches, it’ll soon be time to gather family and friends around the Christmas tree, sing carols and savour the delights of the season around a table piled-up with tasty treats and festive flavours.
Whether you’re inviting everyone over to share your feast, or sending love to friends and family wrapped in a bow, Charles Grech & Co Ltd are on hand to help with luscious food and drink to get the party started.
Charles Grech & Co Ltd have been providing premium goodies for 141 years since the opening of their first shop and bar on Republic Street in Valletta, then known as Strada Reale.
Ever since, this prestigious family-run business has been supplying the great and the good, including the Royal Navy, with high quality wine and beer, smooth spirits and the finest tobacco.
This continued even through the darkest days of WW2, and the Charles Grech ship-chandelling service was recognised with awards from the US navy in the 1950s and 60s. With such history and dedication, it’s no wonder Charles Grech is the island’s top name in drinks and delicacies today, lead by the fourth generation of Grech family, and recently expanding into gourmet cuisine too.
With the option to buy online and shops to visit in Sliema, Swieqi, Ta’Xbiex and Birkirkara – where you can settle into a whisky tasting room, just as Charles Grech’s nineteenth century customers did – wherever you are on the islands you can enjoy browsing the Charles Grech & Co Ltd selections and be inspired with your Christmas gifting for family and friends, colleagues and clients.
In a new Christmas Brochure that brings together the most prestigious brands from around the world, Charles Grech showcases whiskies from the Scottish Highlands, Cuban cigars; classic wines from Argentina and Australia, South Africa and the USA, and so much more.
On their website, you’ll find the full range, including Irish, American, and Japanese whiskies, and even Jack Daniels available in a barrel!
Charles Grech’s Gin selection will suit both the classic gin aficianados and those looking for a festive twist in Opihr’s Spices of the Orient, Greenall’s Blood Orange and Fig, or a special The Lakes gin bauble gift-set.
For the stylista, there’s Ginraw gastronomic gin in its iconic stylised bottle or opt for a gift box of Zonin Prosecco with two stylish Champagne flutes in azure blue that add contemporary sass to the bubbles. Charles Grech Ltd & Co has a long respected heritage, yet caters for the most modern tastes too as well as traditionalists!
The range of handpicked luxury hampers is designed to include something for every taste, whether that’s your big brother in Buġibba who loves a single malt or Auntie Rita in Rabat, renowned for her sweet tooth. Charles Grech & Co Ltd have carefully teamed flavours to create a variety of hampers, or you can always create your own with everything you need for a Happy Christmas.
There’s luxury confectionery, chocolate, mince-pies, and panettone packed in wicker for the perfect fireside picnic, or even Yorkshire popcorn to add an extra zing. Alternatively, choose chutney, paté and water biscuits and other sumptuous savouries teamed a Rioja Riserva, to wish someone special a very Merry Christmas.
