About Virgin Wines
Virgin Wines is one of
the UK's largest direct-to-consumer online wine

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 almost 700
wines and c. 150 spirits in its portfolio which it sells to an
active customer base of more than 170,000 members. It has
approximately 200 employees and more than 40 trusted winemaking
partners and suppliers around the world.
The Company drives the majority of
its 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
