About us

Pour yourself a glass. Let’s have a chat.

Secret Vines is me, Tim Althaus, my partner Marion Grasby and a few of our unrepentantly tipsy friends.  And if you haven't guessed by now, we're pretty fond of the old vino!  We sell wine because we love it.

We deal directly with small, boutique wineries and we sort out the good from the bad.  We taste hundreds of wines each month and less than 8% of those make it into our final selection.  That means every bottle in your Secret Vines mixed pack is a cracker.  Imagine a liquor super-store going to that sort of trouble or having that sort of confidence in their selections.

We've got one simple motto here at Secret Vines...drink better, spend less.  We're passionate about finding hidden gems and wine secrets from around the world.  We'd love to share them with you.
