About Obvious Wines: “Created in 2018 by a reformed ‘wine-snob’ originally from Champagne, France, Obvious Wines founder Brice Baillie noticed a gap between an overall growing interest and love for Boutique, Vegan & Eco-friendly wines, yet a high level of intimidation towards selecting and discussing them. So he decided to create an accessible and playful brand that still checked all the necessary boxes of high-quality, eco-conscious wine.”

Who Is Number One?

TASTING NOTES: “Aromas of dark fruits, baking spices, and subtle earthiness. Flavors of black currant, blueberry, and plum with vanilla, clove, and dark chocolate notes. Smooth yet well-structured mouthfeel.” (AbV 14.5%, pH 3.78, TA 0.63 g/100mL, RS < 1 g/L)

THAT REMINDS ME OF: Number One, the mysterious being behind “The Village” in the 1967 series The Prisoner.

Number Six, original name unknown, is a man of many skills who has just resigned from his position with British Intelligence. The reason for his resignation is unknown, but there are forces who are very keen on knowing why. As he attempts to pack up and leave his home, he is knocked out and brought to “The Village,” a seemingly idyllic town inhabited by various individuals all known by numbers. Some of them are prisoners and others are wardens, but nobody knows who is what. The one known as Number Two acts as leader of The Village, but the person who holds this designation changes often. Whoever holds the role of Number Two, under the orders of the enigmatic Number One, attempts to interrogate and manipulate Number Six into divulging his secrets.

Who is Number One, and why are they so desperate for Number Six’s secrets? We’ll never know.
