Naked Wines is not just an online wine retailer; we help wine drinkers experience better wine, made by independent winemakers, without compromise.
Founded in 2008, we set out to change how wine is bought and sold - funding world-class independent winemakers directly so they can focus entirely on their craft, and connecting them with the customers who value it. Most of those customers we call out 'Angels', and we've been delivering outstanding wines to them for over 18 years.
Our model is simple but distinctive. Naked Wines funds independent winemakers' production costs upfront, freeing them from the financial burden of traditional production to take creative risks and make exceptional wine. Because we back them directly, our Angels gain access to proprietary, award-winning wines they can't buy anywhere else - at fair prices that reflect the value of cutting out the traditional supply chain. It's a virtuous cycle: the more Angels back winemakers, the more great wine there is to enjoy, and the stronger the community becomes.
This is what sets Naked apart. We aren't built to compete at the cheapest, most discount-driven end of the market. We win with customers who value craft, provenance and proximity to the people who make their wine - a community they actively choose to belong to, rather than simply transact with.
For our Angels in the UK, US and Australia, that means:
● Better wine, made by independent winemakers
● Over 2,500 exclusive wines they can't get elsewhere, from c.280 winemakers across 20 countries
● A direct connection to the makers - the craft, provenance and stories behind every bottle
● Personalised recommendations that take the guesswork out of buying wine
