Mr Postles’ Apothecary in Queen Street has launched a wine window, through which customers dining alfresco can order and receive a glass of wine right to the street.
The window is in place every Sunday afternoon (Image: @morselandcrumb supplied by Mr Postles’ Apothecary) While it is the first one in Norwich, the concept started in Florence in the 16th and 17th centuries and is becoming a trend on social media.

Keir Slater, owner of the bar and restaurant, said: “I’ve been to Florence a couple of times and there are lots of wine windows there.
“It’s something fun to do in the summer, especially with the warm weather we’ve been having.

“People have been really excited about it. It looks like you could be in Italy.”
Aperol spritz and wines are available to order through the window (Image: @bethblogsinnorfolk supplied by Mr Postles’ Apothecary) Through the window, visitors can enjoy a glass of wine or an Aperol or Limoncello spritz, as well as authentic Italian food including bruschetta, truffle and parmesan fries, antipasti and olives.
Each drink costs £6 and the wine window will be in place on Sundays between midday and 6pm until September.
