Description At Virgin Wines, our purpose is simple: creating joy from grape to glass. Since we were established in 2000, we've sold over 100 million bottles to happy customers across the UK. By collaborating hand in hand with talented winemakers across the world, we craft and source exclusive, premium wines that you won't find anywhere else. Over 90% of what we sell is exclusive to us, with our superstar team playing an active role in the production of many of our best-loved bottles.
Over our 25-year history, our dedication to excellence has been recognised with numerous accolades. Most recently, we were named Online Wine Retailer of the Year 2025 at the People's Choice Awards. Voted for by customers, this one means a great deal to all of us at Virgin Wines, and represents our dedication to providing exceptional service, fantastic wines and joyful experiences.
This commitment applies to our people, too. Our team of over 170 professionals, based in Norwich, Preston and Bolton, thrive in a supportive and sociable environment that encourages growth and development. We invest in staff across the business through funding official WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) qualifications and career enhancing courses, playing host to regular social events, providing professional support and care through our Employee Assistance Programme and, of course, heavily discounted wine! Our people really are at the heart of what we do.
As well as being a part of the iconic Virgin family, we're proud members of The Sustainable Wine Roundtable and were the first online wine retailer to be certified carbon neutral. Our pledge is to have a positive impact on all our surroundings while we do what we love, including working with more sustainable winemakers, supporting good causes and switching to packaging that’s kinder to the planet. These decisions influence every step we take, from grape to glass.
Join us at Virgin Wines, where we take wine seriously, but never ourselves, and strive to be the best we can in delivering the very best experiences for our customers.
