About Us

Welcome to The London Vines

At The London Vines we rely on over 20 years experience in selecting fine wines for both financial growth and personal pleasure.



We specialise in all things Claret. Focus remains in French Bordeaux and Burgundy although Fine Wines from the likes of Napa and Tuscany are slowly becoming more relevant especially bedding down for a later date.

The London Vines burst onto the scene in 2009 with thoughts of taking a fresh, more innovative outlook towards Fine Wine.

Our stock at Octavian Vaults has been through a vigorous selection process, based on information and instincts from some of the most knowledgeable people in the world of Fine Wine so you can be sure that whether you're drinking or bedding down, The London Vines will always have the very best wines available.

The London Vines work exclusively with the best bonded warehouses in the UK. The wine in our cellars is maintained at the perfect constant temperature, with no natural light or vibration and humidity is controlled at the optimum level. This environment ensures that your wine is stored safely and in the best conditions possible.

As one of our clients, you have the option of holding your wine in one of our accounts in bond or having the wine transferred to your own private bond account. Wines held in bond are free from VAT and import duty. The London Vines provide the initial storage and insurance free of charge. We are committed to provide an ongoing service throughout the period your wine is held and at the end of the period, we can also arrange the sale of your wine should you wish. As a client of The London Vines you benefit from our management team's 20 years experience in the market.

Our Philosophy

Our wines are intelligently sourced by an international team of experts, seeking 'Sought after' wines from only the best winemakers in the world. A wine must score at least 90 points from the esteemed Robert Parker to even be considered by The London Vines Ltd..

Informative and Important

We therefore present you with information and tasting notes to help you make an informed choice. We tell you who the winemakers are, the great vintages, the under-rated and ones for the future. Views from our own experts and the world's finest wine critics.
