Founded in 1698, Berry Bros. & Rudd is Britain’s oldest wine and spirits merchant. Family-owned and run, the company still trades from No.3 St James’s Street, though with offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo too. With longstanding relationships with our producers, Berry Bros. & Rudd helps collectors of fine wines and spirits build, manage and enjoy their cellars.

Majestic is the UK’s largest specialist wine retailer. We were founded in London more than 40 years ago and have grown to operate more than 200 stores nationwide, alongside our fast-growing on-trade supply division, Majestic Commercial. Our mission is to help our customers discover wines, beers and spirits they will love. We always go one step further to ensure they have a fantastic personalised experience in store – whether that's through our in-store tasting counters, expert recommendations, our unique no-quibble refund guarantee, free glass hire, or our carry-to-car service. As a national specialist, it's our responsibility to have a market-leading, innovative range. That's why our multi-award-winning buying team is always on the hunt for products that combine real quality with value. And each of our 1,400 wines, beers and spirits has something truly special to offer. We pride ourselves on our friendly, expert colleagues both in the Support Centre and in our stores – our key strength is over 1,000 WSET trained colleagues offering knowledgeable service across all channels. In fact, we’re one of Europe’s biggest wine educators. Our Majestic Commercial B2B division now supplies more than 3,000 gastropubs, bars, restaurants, fine dining venues and hospitality operators across the UK. Our unique proposition combining the buying power and expertise of a national specialist, with the local, personalised service from our store teams, has allowed us to secure high-profile partners including Manchester City Football Club and the prestigious JCB Golf & Country Club.

Life is for living to the fullest, which for us means creating great tasting wines we know our customers will love and enjoying every step of the journey from grape to glass. Since launching in 2000, we’ve sold over 100 million bottles to wine lovers in the UK, offering every style imaginable, catering to all palates and preferences. We’ve built our range over the years by working hand in hand with talented independent winemakers across the globe to create and source exclusive wines, as well as using ratings and reviews from our customers to develop more of what they like. A big part of what makes us so unique in the wine world is that we like to turn our specialist subject into something that’s accessible and fun for all, from total beginners to seasoned pros. And as a Virgin brand through and through, we go that extra mile to deliver an experience that’s extraordinary. Cheers to that!
