Julie has been involved with Vin Vino Direct since it’s launch in September’06 …in fact she played a leading role along with her husband, Paul, in the design and creation of the company over an intense 3-month period …and now ensures the smooth day-to-day running of the business.

Being very much a hands-on person, Julie also writes all of Vin Vino’s wine profiles that you can read here …and she has ‘personally’ tested all of the wines that she writes about!

We work closely with talented young growers and winemakers from the very best regions of France, Italy and Spain, and are the only online wine merchant in the UK who can offer these exclusive wines to the public.

No stone is left unturned in the New World either. Big names and little gems alike, we have 100's of individual and exclusive wines directly available to you today.
