Brand Background
The business began in 1983 when founder Philip Addis started Great Western Wine in Bath, originally supplying wines to restaurants and hospitality venues in the local area.
Demand soon grew beyond trade customers, leading to the opening of a retail shop where individuals could purchase the imported wines. Over the following decades the company expanded its wine portfolio and built a loyal customer base across the South West of England.
In 2010, the business was acquired by Enotria Winecellars (now Enotria&Coe), one of the UK's largest drinks distributors. This move enabled the company to expand its retail offering while benefiting from the distribution and buying power of a major drinks importer.
In 2020, the company rebranded from Great Western Wine to The Great Wine Co. to reflect its growth beyond its original regional base and its increasing focus on online retail.
