At Unicorn we take pride in sourcing products that don't impact on the
environment and animals. The same goes for our alcohol range. Conventional
wine-making accounts for a huge proportion of all insecticides used in
farming. These chemicals not only destroy habitats but also work their way
through the food chain and impact on all parts of the ecosystem. Organic
vineyards have a high biodiversity and flowers grow between vines, bees,
butterflies and birdsong fill the air and on closer inspection beneficial
insects can be found devouring pests that could destroy the crop. Many
people don't know that animal products can also be used during the
clarifying process of wine and beers. We work closely with our suppliers
to ensure that all our alcohol is both vegan and organic, and where
possible we also try to offer Fairtrade choices.

We have a broad range of wines, including many popular grapes old and new,
catering for all pockets and tastes. Our beer is sourced carefully - we
buy direct from independent brewers who take pride in the uniqueness of
their product. We have bottle-conditioned beers from Pitfields, distinct
Belgium beers and unusual ingredients such as hemp and seaweed as well as
a great range from our local brewer Little Valley in Hebden Bridge.
For those warm summer afternoons take a look at the cider, everything from
light sparkling perry to strong still farmhouse cider. At the deli counter
you will also find a small range of spirits and fortified wines including
two superb ports. We believe in offering competitive prices across the store and our wide
range of alcohol also reflects this.
