The Wine Shelf is a UK-based, online-only wine shop created and run by a small team of passionate wine enthusiasts. Our mission is to make discovering and buying great wine simple. We bring together a wide selection of wines from around the world in one place, with an easy shopping experience and no minimum order requirements.
We started back in September 2024 with a specialist Georgian wine shop focused on bringing as many Georgian wines as possible into one easy-to-browse catalogue. From there, we expanded decided to start Vine & Barrel with the same idea: increase choice, keep the buying experience simple, and keep costs efficient so we can offer competitive pricing.
Many wine shops offer a narrow range. at Vine & Barrel our focus is a broad catalogue across different countries, regions and styles, so customers can find what they want without hopping between multiple stores.
We also work to streamline the behind-the-scenes process of listing, sourcing, and fulfilling wines so we can:
- Maintain a large and growing selection
- Keep pricing competitive
- Avoid minimum purchase requirements
We operate with UK storage and fulfillment facilities in Grimsby.
We hold stock for selected wines. If an item is temporarily unavailable in our storage, we work closely with UK-based suppliers to source it and dispatch it as soon as possible. Delivery options, costs, and available services are shown at checkout and on our Delivery Information page.
If you need help placing an order, tracking a delivery, or resolving an issue, our customer support team is available via email and phone (see our Contact Us page for details and operating hours). We aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 business hours.
Alcohol is sold to customers aged 18+. We encourage responsible drinking and provide guidance on our Drink Responsibly page.
