Wine is an important beverage – it enhances your enjoyment of food, and features heavily in celebrations of all kinds, including religious ceremonies.
Having a nice bottle of wine to open can elevate a meal, or make an occasion feel a little bit more special, so if your local supermarket doesn’t stock a great selection or you don’t have access to a decent wine merchant in your area it can be difficult to find the right bottle.
Whether you know what you like and are keen to stock up, or fancy trying something new, there are a wide range of wine merchants who deliver. Many will deliver next day if you’re local or offer free delivery if you meet a minimum spend. It’s also a great way to support local businesses without having to leave the house!
Here is a list of some great London based wine sellers who delivery locally and nationwide.
Thomson & Scott
Founded by Le Cordon Bleu alumna, Amanda Thomson, who created her own sparkling wine portfolio that is organic, vegan-friendly and avoids adding any unnecessary sugar to the production process. You can order their wine by creating delivery plan, which can be changed or cancelled at any time, and offers a 10% discount when you start. Delivery is available throughout the UK.
The Good Wine Shop
The Good Wine Shop are an independent wine merchant located in West London with shops in Kew, Chiswick and Richmond Hill.

Theatre of Wine
With shops in Tufnell Park, Greenwich and Leytonstone, Theatre of Wine covers quite a lot of ground. This is one for the more curious wine lover, as they champion less-well known classics and emerging regions.
