As the cultural hub of Northern England, Manchester has seen a 30% growth in upscale dining establishments over the past five years. The city’s Northern Quarter and Spinningfields areas feature numerous high-end Italian restaurants catering to affluent professionals. The developing food scene is increasingly sophisticated, with sommeliers seeking unique Italian varietals to educate their clientele. Premium Barolo, Barbaresco, and Super Tuscan wines have shown particular growth potential in this market.
