Why A&B
Access
Since 1998, A&B Vintners has quietly built direct relationships with some of the world's finest wine producers.
Today, those partnerships provide our clients with access to a carefully curated portfolio spanning Burgundy, the Rhône Valley, Piedmont and Oregon, with the occasional foray into other exciting wine regions.
Our wines are enjoyed by discerning private clients and are poured in many of the UK's most desirable restaurants, private members' clubs, Oxford and Cambridge colleges, and specialist wine retailers.
Service
Whether you are a seasoned collector, new to fine wine or a professional buyer, our experienced team provides a highly personalised service.
Our tight connection between producer, A&B buyer and client allows us to offer informed advice, access to sought-after wines and a level of personal service that is increasingly rare. From securing coveted allocations and building cellars to discovering wines for everyday enjoyment, we help clients buy and enjoy fine wine with confidence. Our bespoke platform also allows clients to manage reserves, deliveries, allocations and settle balances in one place.
Trusted
Clients' reserves are stored in our dedicated temperature-controlled facility and cared for by our specialist reserves team. Wines are transported directly from the estate to our warehouse in temperature-controlled containers, preserving their condition throughout their journey. Combined with expert guidance on cellar management and drinking windows, your collection is managed to the highest standards.
Since 1998, we have offered wines en primeur. Our direct relationships with producers are built on mutual trust and prompt payment, and we take the same approach with our clients. Nearly three decades on, we have never failed to honour an en primeur purchase. Such trust is earned over time.
Independent
A&B Vintners remains proudly independent and family-owned. We work directly with every producer we represent, building close partnerships with some of the most exciting names in the world of wine today. Guided by our independent thinking and a passion for discovering the next generation of talented winemakers, we continually seek out exceptional new estates that reflect the unique character of their regions.
Free from corporate ownership, we remain honest and forthright in our views, recommending wines because we genuinely believe in their quality and character rather than any commercial imperative. Discreet and quietly confident, we have built our reputation through longstanding client and producer relationships, word of mouth, and by never compromising on quality in the bottle.
