The Wine Cru - About The Wine Cru
Established in 2015 the Wine Cru is a family run independent wine merchant and online retailer based in the south side of Glasgow. The Wine Cru was born primarily out of Jonathan’s great love of vintage wine, and his talent for sourcing interesting and rare vintages.
Having both started our careers within the hospitality business, it seemed a natural progression to combine our knowledge, experience and customer service skills with sharing our passion for good vintage wine with others.
Our ethos is quite simple - good wine can enhance great food, great occasions and great times. As Robert Louis Stevenson quoted " Wine is bottled poetry”. Wine shouldn't be a mystery, it should be a joy and that's what we want to share.
We continue to pride ourselves on 35 years of knowledge and expertise at sourcing some of the best fine and vintage wines from across the globe and delivering them to your door.
We are constantly finding and stocking new vintage wines - but if there's a bottle you can't find let us know and we'll try our best to source it for you.
Sustainability
Our aim at the Wine Cru is to bring you better vintage wine now and in the years to come. To do this we must make changes to protect our planet. To that end we, along with our partners are working to be more sustainable.
We are aiming to remove as much single use plastic as possible and our postal packaging is now made from 70% recycled materials and is 100% recyclable.
We will continually look at how we can reduce our carbon footprint.
As part of our continues commitment we are proud to support 9Trees.
