About Us
I discovered wine when, aged 28, I was making a last grand tour of Europe before settling down to a career in law. The old VW camper van inevitably kept breaking down and I found myself with time on my hands in the Loire, Bordeaux and, especially, the Rhône. There were only so many rivers to jump into to cool down in that hot summer so I started tasting wine - real wine, not the stuff I had been buying in the supermarkets. It got me
started and I returned to England knowing I would never practise law.
I started as a specialist in wines from the
Southern Rhône then expanded the list along with my interests to include a range of excellent mid-price
Bordeaux and
Burgundy
as well as the
Languedoc, the
Loire
and
South-West France.
1. France still offers the highest quality and widest range of styles of wine of any wine-producing country;
2. By concentrating on a smaller geographical area it is possible to offer better value.

The decision to focus on France initially came about for two main reasons:
1. France still offers the highest quality and widest range of styles of wine of any wine-producing country;
2. By concentrating on a smaller geographical area it is possible to offer better value.
More recently, I have succumbed to the allure of
Italy
and have found some amazing
wines there as well as from a couple of producers in
Spain. Great food wines all so, whatever you are eating, you will find something to match it here.
One restriction I place on myself: I buy all our wines direct from the producers
and sell by the (mixed) case to offer the best prices throughout the UK for
wines of this quality.
Wines are stored in a
temperature-controlled bonded warehouse so they never suffer overheating and dried-out
corks which can so easily spoil good wines bought from shops and supermarkets.
As we don't have a shop, our overheads are low which in turn enables us to keep
our prices as low as possible.
Furthermore, unlike many other
internet wine merchants, The Big Red Wine Company will mix cases at no extra
charge. Please see our
terms and conditions.
