Building bridges between great wines and the UK market

1386 Wines connects ambitious wine producers with opportunities in the UK trade.

Built on extensive experience within the UK drinks industry, we combine market understanding, commercial thinking and strong relationships to help bring the right wines to the right customers.

Our roots are in Portugal, but our outlook is broader. We are interested in distinctive wines, credible producers and opportunities where we believe we can genuinely add value.

Behind 1386

1386 Wine brings more than a decade of commercial experience across the UK drinks industry, including category management, retail marketing, buying and customer strategy.

That experience shapes a practical, market-led approach to building successful partnerships between producers and the UK trade.

Our approach

Market first | Wine second.

We start by understanding what UK customers are looking for, then identify wines and producers that fit the opportunity.

That means considering the whole proposition - style, quality, price, positioning and route to market - rather than simply adding another wine to a portfolio.

Focused partnerships | Commercial thinking | Long-term growth.
