OUR STORY: Our father David Bates Snr, inspired us to launch The Big Wine Shop and it's in his entrepreneurial footsteps that we have ventured. Founded with the same values that he, and our mother instilled in us; Trust, authenticity, loyalty, fearlessness and hard work. Our shared love for family, food, travel & culture has brought us together to collaborate on a project that has already transformed our lives. As we embark on this journey of discovery we will use these core values and our shared passion for wine, to realise our vision; to become one of the UK’s leading distributors of wine.​​​​

The Big Wine Shop is the place to come to source fantastic wine from all over the world. From the exquisite wine regions of France, Italy and Spain, to California's award-winning wineries in Sonoma and Napa Valley. Join us as we unearth new tastes from the sunny climates and high altitudes of Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, and revisit old classics from the diverse terrains of Australia and New Zealand.
