As we step into a brand new year of exciting plans and opportunities, it’s a great time to reflect on all the amazing moments and achievements from 2024. Here’s a round-up of some of our highlights: 1) Our wonderful Commercial Manager Megan Penson secured and launched our fantastic partnership with Ocado Retail, bringing our wines to even more homes across the UK. 2) Our legendary WineBank won Wine Club of the Year at the International Wine Challenge Industry Awards UK 2024. A fantastic achievement that our team were all incredibly proud to contribute to. 3) We joined the Virgin StartUp Community, helping to support passionate entrepreneurs bring their vision to life. 4) Our CEO Jay Wright and Head of Buying Sophie Lord chatted to Holly Branson about their journeys at Virgin Wines as part of the Virgin Purpose Programme. 5) Finally, we began to change the way we look and feel by rolling out the first stage of our brand refresh. It’s an ongoing project and we’re excited for everyone to see what 2025 has in store for us. Here’s to another year of innovation, growth and great wine. Let’s make 2025 unforgettable! 🍇✨

The festive season is well and truly here! Come behind the scenes at our brand and social photoshoot to capture the wonderful moments of Christmas ❤️ From shooting delicious dinner party scenes to putting our brand-new gifts in the spotlight, we had a fantastic time bringing the festive spirit to all our content.

Here at Virgin Wines, our buyers are committed to working closely with independent winemakers around the world to source great wines for our customers to enjoy. Recently our Head of Buying, Sophie Lord, and Junior Buyer, Issy Wardlow, had the incredible opportunity to visit the iconic wine regions of Chile. This trip was a great opportunity to catch up with old friends and long-term partners of ours, De Martino and Perez Cruz, as well as meet emerging winemakers on the Chilean wine scene. From learning about the challenges and triumphs of the 2024 harvest to exploring new grape varieties, this trip offered invaluable insights and strengthened our connections with many talented winemakers based in this part of the world. Take a look at some of the best moments👇 🍇
