"Wow, impressive!"
I joined the wine club and get 6 extremely good artisan wine as well as the additional online purchase. A great way to explore and get different wines from smaller vineyards from around the globe. I have to say that after being a customer for more than 2 years have I never received a bad wine.

"Fab range of wines"
We love wines direct for the range of interesting wines they provide in the Explorer club and at such excellent value. We received present at Christmas of three months subscription and subsequently signed up again for more delicious reds and whites 🤩

"Lovely Wine"
A fantastic way to learn about new wines, support the small vineyards and have a hell of a lot of fun with friends. Great products, quick delivery and fabulous prices. Thanks for the pleasure you’ve given me.

About Us
We’re Gareth & Gavin Keogh, two brothers who have been obsessed with wine since before we could even reach the top shelf! As brothers, our love for wine runs deeper than sibling rivalries and questionable dance moves at family gatherings. It's practically in our blood: our dad, Paddy, founded Wines Direct way back in 1991, and we've been carrying on his legacy ever since.
We've travelled far and wide, forging epic friendships with independent winemakers from every corner of the globe. These guys make some seriously mind-blowing vino! These wine wizards have become our partners in crime, helping us bring you a mind-boggling selection of top-notch wines.
Whether you're a wine aficionado, a rookie just dipping your toes into the vino world, or somewhere in between, our Explorers by Wines Direct has your back. Come join us on our adventure, we’re thrilled to have you along!
Why Explorers?
Where did Explorers come from?
Well once upon a time, we noticed that our friends had superpowers when it came to picking out and sharing wine. They'd mastered the art of picking and describing their favourite flavours, and sharing with their friends. Some of our favourite parties were wine tasting dinners with our friends, and we decided we had to share that experience with our customers!
Now we're the curators - here to share our favourite wines with you!
Our mission? To share the bottles that set our hearts aflutter with even more people and transport them to the magical realm of delightful sips. We aimed to recreate that enchanting experience of clinking glasses and merry laughter, as if they were right there with us, toasting to life's joys.
Join us on this thrilling adventure as we embark on a quest to uncork the extraordinary, making wine a delightful journey filled with laughter, camaraderie, and the unmistakable thrill of discovering new and cherished flavours. Here’s to a wine-tastic escapade that will leave your taste buds dancing and your spirit soaring!
