Wanderlust Wine

Wanderlust Wine Wine importer and distributor, bringing small wine producers from off the beaten track. Great quality, unknown producer wines at wholesale prices. What do we do?

Wanderlust is a word meaning ‘a strong desire to travel’ – we use this in the context of new wines, new regions and new styles to keep exploring new shores. We believe a lot of the wine in the market could be a lot better quality. A large percentage comes from very large vineyards, mass made which puts a strain on quality. Our ethos is to find unknown vineyards and producers who make great wine fr

om off the beaten track! We explore find new, smaller producers from lovely small pockets of the globe
We work with the vineyard and import their wines exclusively to the UK
We look after this delicious grape juice in our temperature controlled warehouse
We deliver it directly to you. No middle men. Nice and simple, quality wine! Our ethos and way we do what we do:

We only buy what we believe to be better value that what is already readily available
We work on a smaller, flat rate margin to bring great wine to the people! We treat the vineyards fairly by agreeing a price and sticking to it. Supermarkets on the other hand have been accused of ruining producers financially by treating them badly (forcing prices down and down, imposing penalties and ‘deals’ into the shops) and not showing them the respect they deserve for great quality wine!

| Bonkers by Sugrue |

Bonkers Zombie Robot Alien Monsters from the Future Ate My Brain (Sur Lie) Yes, that’s the name of the wine.

An English white wine crafted with 100% Chardonnay using the solera system by Dermot Sugrue.

As wild as its name suggests, some critics compare it to Grand Cru Chablis, while some think it resembles old grower Champagne or even Jura white...

Unbeatable and drooling white, reminding us of Chassagne, perhaps you can tell us what you think after tasting it.

| Choosing wines for Asian cuisine |

As the Lunar New Year approaches, perhaps it’s time for those to prepare for the festive week ahead. For others (the foodie!), the rich, diverse flavours of Asian cuisines are likely always on their agenda.

While wine pairing might not traditionally take centre stage at an Asian feast, there’s no reason why it can‘t be! With a little know-how, be it dim sum, sushi, or crispy duck, you can pair these classic favourites with a glass or two.

| 🇺🇸American Wines for All Budget |

From the cool-climate Finger Lakes to the sought-after Sonoma and the lesser-known Long Island, it‘s time to shake up your range of American wines, it goes beyond bold Napa reds! Think European-style Riesling, Burgundian-style Pinot Noir, and even wine made by America’s oldest grape varietal—Mission.

This festive season, why not shake things up? Perhaps Finger Lakes Dry Riesling, side by side with a bottle of Mosel Riesling, with your seafood feast 🦪or cheese platter 🧀? Or pour a Sonoma Pinot Noir alongside your favourite Burgundy red🍷— you will probably be able to raise a few eyebrows and start some great (wine) conversations around the table!

| 🇫🇷Champagne for Every Budget |

Finding the perfect Champagne for the festive season shouldn’t be a mission impossible, even if you have a budget in mind.

(2nd left) This Champagne is not only delicious, but it is also organically grown and crafted by a boutique producer, making it an elegant addition to your holiday festivities.

| 🇪🇸Rioja for Every Budget |

Tempranillo and Rioja are hardly separable, after all. Tempranillo is Spain’s number one red grape! This festive favourite is known for its deep ruby hue, medium to full body, dark fruit flavours, and hints of to***co or cedar. Perfect for warming hearts during chilly winter evenings.

Apart from top-class Gran Reserva red wines, the region also produces stunning white wines from Viura and delightful reds from Garnacha. Pair the white with matured hard cheeses like Manchego, and enjoy the Garnacha-driven reds with pork or roasted poultry, a tweak from your usual white wine😉.

| 🇬🇧English Sparkling Wines in All Budget |

From East Sussex to Cornwall, English sparkling wines are carving out their own identity rapidly in the past decade. Once considered contenders to Champagne, we now believe they’ve built their own identity.

This Christmas, why not let an English fizz share the stage with your usual Champagne? Pour a glass and see which one wins hearts at the table!

🍾 Start the party with Tillingham COL’23—light, fresh, and irresistibly inviting. 🍷 For the main event, pair your festive feast with Bee Tree by Sugrue Blanc de Noirs, a perfect partner for dishes like duck or slow-roasted pork belly. 🧀 And for your cheese board or charcuterie, Tickerage Classic Cuvée 2013 is the sparkling star with 10 years of ageing, whether it’s pre-dinner nibbles or a post-meal toast🥂.

| 🇮🇹Tuscany in All Budget |

Chianti. Super Tuscan. Sangiovese. Tuscan wines are fruity, age-worthy reds that capture the heart of this iconic region.

We work with both small boutique producers and renowned pioneers. Despite their differences in scale, they share a common passion - a commitment to organic practices, with some embracing biodynamic farming. Something we are proud of in our Tuscan range 🫶🏻

From fresh releases to bottles with 20+ years of ageing, these wines prove their timelessness and versatility with food.

🍷🍴Bold Super Tuscan with rich roasted beef or venison, a bright Chianti for herby stuffing and roasted vegetables, or even a chocolate pudding with Passito. You will find one for your Christmas table🌟

| Breaking the rule sweetly |

Traditionally, of course, many people associate sweet wines exclusively with dessert. But why stop there? While it’s true that most sweet wines will match a plethora of sweet treats, limiting them to the end of the meal is missing a huge opportunity to enjoy some of the most painstakingly produced wines in the world throughout the dinner card.

Sweet wines aren’t just for special occasions or holiday feasts. If you have a bottle or two lying around or want to try something different, there are plenty of delicious ways to enjoy them with everyday meals, whether a mid-week dinner or a cosy night in.
