Notes to editors:
Virgin Wines is one of the UK's largest direct-to-consumer online wine
retailers. It is an award-winning business which has a reputation for
supplying and curating high quality products, excellent levels of customer
service and innovative ways of retailing.
The Company, which is headquartered in Norwich, UK, was established in 2000 by
the Virgin Group and was subsequently acquired by Direct Wines in 2005 before
being bought out by the Virgin Wines management team, led by CEO Jay Wright
and CFO Graeme Weir, in 2013. It listed on the London Stock Exchange's
Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in 2021.
Virgin Wines has more than 600 wines and 100 spirits in its portfolio, which
it sells to an active customer base including over 150,000 members of its
subscription schemes. It has approximately 200 employees and a global network
of trusted winemaking partners and suppliers around the world.
The Company drives the majority of revenue though its fast-growing WineBank
subscription scheme, using a variety of marketing channels, as well as through
its Wine Advisor team, Wine Plan channel and Pay As You Go service.
Along with its extensive range of award-winning products, Virgin Wines was
delighted to be named Online Drinks Retailer of the Year for 2022 at last
year's Drinks Retailing Awards, as well as receiving the bronze award for
Contact Centre of the Year at the 2022 UK National Contact Centre Awards.
