Better value, better values

We’re unique in the world of wine because we have no external shareholders to please, we’re able to put profits back into fairer bottle prices for both our members, and the talented winemakers who craft them, so you get real value in every bottle, no fake discounting required.

We work incredibly hard to provide the best possible value we can to our members, from the award-winning range of wines our buyers are tasked with finding, to our Members’ Reserves facility (which offers the most competitive wine-storage service on the market).

Everyday fair pricing vs 'fake' discounting

A discount always has to come from somewhere, usually by inflating the cost of something else! We want to treat members with respect by avoiding dubious price-slashing or inflated discounting. We aim to offer fair, transparent, competitive and sustainable prices for all our wines, taking an 'everyday low price' approach.

This gimmick-free pricing policy means you’ll be getting a great deal all year round. We’re able to put profits back into fairer bottle prices for our members and growers, and we work hard to keep our margins as low as possible.

By briefing our expert team of buyers – with more than 150 years of experience between them – to buy wines they truly believe in (not the ones that make the most profit) they’re able to seek out the very best wines, whether under-the-radar gems, trusty favourites or fine wine treasures. This means they’re also able to forge fruitful, long-lasting relationships with our valued growers, guaranteeing you great quality at every price.

So whether it’s Alfred Gratien, whose outstanding sparkling wines have been a fixture of our Lists for over a century, or the latest winemaking talent, we spend more time visiting our growers, pay fairly and on time, and provide members with their wines at outstanding prices.

Better value, better values

Another year, another Black Friday where you won’t see us taking part.

Our pricing policy makes us different. You’ll never pay more for a bottle than you need to:

• With no external shareholders to please, we can put profits back into lower prices
• We always pay our growers a fair price for their efforts: everyone wins!
• We never take part in loss-leading or fake discounting, choosing everyday fair pricing instead
