The practice of cherishing loved ones in private corners has been replaced with sending each other TikToks of an Italian greyhound in knitwear, and sweet nothings of “can you pick up more Imodium” via WhatsApp. But sometimes our silly, little, base human instincts for things like true emotional connection kick in. And that’s when you go to Bottle + Rye, a tiny Brixton wine bar with European small plates, where knees touch, hands are held beneath tables, and stories are shared over London’s most sensational anchovy toast." - team infatuation
