"If you close your eyes while sitting outside at The 10 Cases and smell the smoke in the air, taste the wine in your mouth, and blindly fumble for a bit of ham on the table, you might think you were in Paris. Only you aren’t. This Covent Garden spot is about as close to that lively Parisian wine bar feeling as we’re going to get. The wine list is extensive and the charcuterie decent. Be aware that lots of other people will have the same idea, so expect a wait." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna

"The food and wine available at this Covent Garden half-bar half-restaurant are notable enough in their own right. But the real jewel in the team’s crown is their app, Drop, which revolutionises wine delivery in much the same way that Amazon Prime did consumer retail (this is another way of saying it’s highly addictive, and highly dangerous to the impulsive). A huge range of wines is searchable by price point and style; there is no minimum order and delivery can be arranged within the hour (and can even be on ice). Drinking at home no longer has to feel like the opening credits to the Bridget Jones movie — just another sign of how much the game in London has changed in the past few years." - George Reynolds

"On buzzy Endell street in Covent Garden there’s a petit slice of Paris to be found at the 10 Cases. And while this list isn’t striving to promote the most Parisian places to drink natural wine in London, it goes without saying that there’s something tried and true about the formula. At 10 Cases that formula’s honed with great charm, even going so far as to replicate the street-facing, tightly packed wicker bistro chairs and marble tables wedged between. Prices prove surprisingly reasonable for the postcode, and while the by the glass options seem rather safe, there’s plenty of fun to be had in the full wine list, where wines from the exceptional Masseria del Pino can be drunk at near-retail prices, or, should the weather cooperate, one can enjoy the fabulous view of the Tesco Express with a bottle of summery perfection in the form of Jean Maupertuis’s Pink Bulles. It’s worth grabbing a snack if only to relish the individual Bellivière demi-sel that comes with the (complementary) basket of sliced baguette." - Nathalie Nelles
