About us

We are an on-line family business specialising in contemporary wine gifts and accessories.  We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service and have over a decade of wine retailing experience and acknowledge that ‘wine drinking’ is both a hobby and a way of life for millions of people. Our belief is that wine should be considered as fun, interesting and sociable but for many, the whole wine culture can be seen as being pretentious and snobby.

“Wine is fun not snobby”

We know that many people enjoy drinking and shopping for wine but at the same time don’t have a vast knowledge about it, which is fine. We want to promote an approachable and enjoyable wine culture, one that isn’t dominated by so-called wine buff’s describing a Sauvignon Blanc like “it smells of cats pee, granny apples and has a clean mineral structure”. Oh come on, you feel like saying “just tell me whether you like it or not”. Wine doesn’t have to be pretentious, the important thing is that you enjoy it!

So to match Hobbywine’s relaxed and informal attitude, we continue to search long and hard to find fun and interesting wine gifts and accessories. Our guess is that most of your friends and family will probably have an interest in wine to some degree. Therefore we believe that within our selection you will find the perfect gift that can be given for birthdays, Christmas or any special occasion. Enjoy!
