Helping you discover wine since 2003.
A bottle you return to. A grape you hadn't tried. A wine that turns out to be just right for dinner. Those discoveries are why we do what we do.
Great Wines Direct brings together a carefully chosen range and friendly, personal guidance. Based in Caterham, Surrey, we help wine lovers across the UK find bottles they'll look forward to opening.
Our story: a passion for wine, a personal approach
David Kelly founded Great Wines Direct in 2003 with a simple aim: to make quality wines easier to discover and enjoy. The business has grown around choice, quality and personal service, but that purpose hasn't changed.
We want choosing wine to feel inviting, whether you know exactly what you're after or only know what you liked last time. There is no need to arrive with a list of regions or grapes. Curiosity is enough.

Why choose Great Wines Direct?
A range worth exploring
Red, white and rosé, Prosecco and Champagne. Familiar favourites sit alongside opportunities to explore another grape, region or style, with taste and quality at the heart of our selection.
Advice built around you
Your tastes, your budget and what the wine is for give us a starting point. We can help narrow the options without making the choice feel more complicated.
People you can talk to
For a recommendation, a gift idea or a question about an order, you can contact our team. Personal service matters before you choose and after you've ordered.
Make room for a new favourite.
A good wine range should offer more than a familiar label. A different grape or a bottle chosen for a particular dish can be the beginning of something you'll enjoy again.
Explore the producers behind the wines, read the tasting notes or ask us where to start. You can stay close to a style you love or take a step in a new direction.
For the moments you share
A meal with friends, a thank-you gift or a celebration calls for a choice that suits the people involved. We welcome experienced enthusiasts and curious newcomers alike, and we're happy to help you find your starting point.
During the pandemic, our online service helped us stay connected with customers isolated at home. It reinforced something we still value: thoughtful service and a sense of connection matter as much as ever.
