British Wine is Changing…

Wine growing in the UK is expanding at an impressive rate, but producers often hit a major stumbling block.

We don’t have the trade structures that other countries do.

Small producers are often left to their own devices when trying to find a viable route-to-market. Over 63% of sales by small and medium-sized producers are achieved through their own cellar door, with only 8% being sold through off-trade retailers.

But revolutions don’t grow quietly

They grow when people & retailers start paying attention

Making great wine is hard enough. Then comes everything else…

Cold emails that go unanswered. Buyers who don't know British wine well enough to take a chance. Trade shows that cost more than they return. A story that deserves to be told, but one where there’s not always the time and the contacts to tell it.

Most small producers aren't short of ambition. They're short of bandwidth. That's exactly where BritVine comes in.

We help businesses in the on-trade & off-trade discover British wine beyond the familiar names, representing independent wineries from across the country.

Sharing the stories that don’t make it onto the label helps us get bottles in front of buyers. You can be part of the renaissance of British wine, wherever you’re based in the country,

Why BritVine?

British wine is at an inflection point: quality has never been higher while consumer interest is growing rapidly. And yet too many brilliant small producers are still invisible to the buyers who'd list them in a heartbeat — if only they knew.

We're DipWSET qualified, commercially experienced and genuinely passionate about what's happening in British wine right now. Our model involves only taking on a small number of producers at a time, because real representation means being properly across your wines, not just adding your name to a portfolio list.

When we pitch your wine, we pitch it as if it were our own.

We’re not just selling your wine. We’re championing it.

  • We open doors. Whether that's independent retailers, restaurant groups, wine bars, or specialist merchants. BritVine builds and manages the relationships that get your wine listed and keeps it there.

    We don't just make introductions. We follow through.

  • British wine has a story that most buyers still don't know well enough to take risks. National-scale producers already have marketing departments to shout about their story, but what bandwidth does that leave for small independent producers?

    We make sure yours is told compellingly and consistently; every pitch, every conversation with a potential buyer.

    Your terroir, your approach, your people, turned into something the trade knows & loves.

  • Nothing sells wine like tasting it with the right people in the room. We organise and host trade-facing tastings, portfolio events and consumer education sessions that put your bottles in the spotlight and your brand in buyers' minds.

  • Not every route to market is right for every producer. BritVine maps the landscape, identifies the best fit for your wine and your margins, building a plan that makes commercial sense without compromising what makes you, you.

BritVine exists to close that gap.
