About Naked Wines plc
Naked Wines is not just an online
wine retailer; we're trailblazers on a mission to enable
enthusiastic wine drinkers to enjoy great wine without the
guesswork.
Founded in 2008, on the pillars of
quality, choice and fair pricing, we set out to create the most
inclusive wine club in the world - dedicated to transforming the
wine-buying experience and empowering people to make their own wine
choices, and championing world-class independent winemakers. We've
proudly been delivering outstanding wines to our customers (who we
call Angels) for over 15 years.
Our business model is simple yet
innovative: Naked Wines funds the production costs for winemakers
upfront, allowing them to focus on creating exceptional wines
without the financial burdens of traditional wine production, while
passing the resulting savings back to our customers.
The virtuous circle is a win-win for
both wine lovers and winemakers, and enables us to deliver superior
benefits to our customers:
- Better quality wine
- More choice
- Personalised wine
recommendations
- Elimination of guesswork and
uncertainty
- Fair payments for all
involved
Our customers have direct access to
299 of the world's best independent winemakers and over 2,500
quality wines from 23 countries. In the last financial year, we
served more than 723,000 Angels in the US, UK and Australia, making
us a leading player in the fast-growing direct-to-consumer wine
market.
