WE are Premier cru, say we are Premier cru!
Arsenal have renewed their tie-up with a Chilean winemaker to supply plonk to thirsty fans inside the Emirates Stadium.
Sir Alex Ferguson was known to have enjoyed a good post-match tipple
And the London club are not alone in having a deal with an overseas winery.
Manchester City, their local rivals United and Chelsea are paired with vineyards too.
Using real wines from around the world, we put together our very own Premier cru league.
BOURNEMOUTH — Eddie’s Evil Brew
Bournemouth’s bottle has a hint of cherries and seaside air to it

ARSENAL — Arrogant Frog
Arsenal are paired with a bottle promising a sweet start but a bitter finish
A RED, a white or both? Sweet to start but with a bitter finish. Grab it while you can, there is often a bottling problem.
BURNLEY — Nine Popes
Fans of the Clarets may turn to Nine Popes or simply pray during the season
SOME might say this is not one for the purists, but getting into that sort of discussion opens a can of worms . .
LIVERPOOL — Klopp
Here’s a bottle that’s finally offering some promise after years of underachievement
STORMS to the title of best red in the land after many fallow years which boasted much but did not deliver.

This smooth Scottish vintage has an explosive end
COMBUSTIBLE Scottish vintage that seems smooth but with an explosion of fury at the end.
BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION — Best Swing For Eagle

EVERTON — Better Than That Red

ASTON VILLA — Laughing Jack
Once a wonder of Europe the Claret and Blues can still punch above their weight
CLARET (and blue) superstar, once a wonder of Europe. Tinges of Grealish. It can still punch above its weight.
CHELSEA — Frank’s Family
Chelsea plonk is carefree, cosmopolitan and stylish
A CAREFREE, cosmopolitan tipple with a hint of the new world. What would Chopper Harris make of it?

MAN CITY — Triple Threat
Filled with pepperry undertones this bottle is unlikey to be a hit in Europe
AN exotic blend with Pepperry undertones and always in the mix for trophies. Might not now be such a big hit in Europe, mind you.

This bottle has as much class as former player Alan Shearer
A FULL-BODIED red with Shearer class and guaranteed to be at the centre of a good Tyne.
NORWICH CITY — Yellow Tail
Why not pair this vintage with something Delia-cious
FLIGHTY vintage with sweet notes of canary. Best paired with some Delia-cious home cooking.
SHEFFIELD UNITED — Steel City Wine
Steel Wine City is a refreshing addition to any table
A HEADY brew with unexpectedly sharp notes of success. A refreshing addition to any table.
SOUTHAMPTON — Saints And Zinners
The imported Saints And Zinners is well worth its stripes
AN imported Austrian gem, worth its stripes. Sure to please fans of red and white equally.
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR — Twisted Spur
This bottle may be a special one but has a tendency to turn sour fast
THIS really is a Special One, though watch out, it can be amazing one day, then sour the next.
WATFORD — Two Horns
This bottle goes down easily but may leave you with a headache

PLUCKY drop with plenty of bite. Much better after Nune .
