ABOUT US
It's Not Just about Us ! Its all about you and your grapes!
The idea behind TheGrapeWizard and the Sommelier was to offer you not only great wines at great prices but wines that you can't readily find.
Fine wines from regions you've always wanted to try. Sexy Labels and Fabulous Stories behind the wine. Over the coming months we will be importing more wines from more regions not currently oversubscribed here in the UK.
Gone is the boring - Welcome the fabulous and undiscovered !
Look out for some fabulous Cabernet Franc's, Petit Verdot and outrageously delicious Orange Wine
Our store is more than just another online retailer. We sell not only the best wines we can source but offer an ever changing portfolio based on what feedback we get from you. Want more orange wines we will source them . Want fabulous whites from NE Italy we will get them.
Please note : all wines available in the UK will be delivered in under a week.
Where we have to import or ship from Europe etc - these times may vary.
(for those that still want old favourites of Champagne, Burgundy's and Bordeaux we will endevour to get those. Please Enquire for more info .)
We are here to have fun and not to be stuffy !

THE IDEA
Have the company grow organically
Allow e-commerce platform to grow.
Allow enough wine to be shipped to clients
Have enough capital to source wines from around the world
Delivery to UK initially
Source and import wines into the UK.
Only stipulation is that they have sexy labels, have a story and be dangerously delicious
import hard to find wines
and ultimately be in a position whereby we can start importing on a regular basis with loyal clients having first refusal on fine wines from around the world.
