A COLWYN Bay wine bar, along with hedgehogs and hamsters, has gone into hibernation to help customers with their dry January aspirations.

Briggs Wine in Penrhyn Road has posted a notice in its doorway stating it has closed to assist customers in their efforts for a dry January. But the bar will awake refreshed from its slumbers next Friday.

The notice said: “A note to our regulars (and irregulars) in order to assist you all in your efforts for dry January we will be closed until Friday 18. We’re doing this for you, honest.”
