Our Story

Grape ‘n’ Vine was founded on a simple belief: great wine comes from great people. Based in London, we work directly with independent producers in around the world — cutting out the middleman to bring you authentic wines at fair prices. We don’t just sell wine; we share the stories, the heritage, and the character behind every bottle. We are passionate about quality, integrity, and making fine wine accessible to everyone who appreciates it.

Meet The Founder

Rakesh Shah — Founder & Wine Buyer

“My journey with wine began with a love for travel, culture, and flavour. Over the years, I realised that the best wines aren’t always found in big shops — they are found in small cellars, family estates, and hidden corners of Europe. I created Grape ‘n’ Vine to bridge the gap between passionate producers and people who want to drink something real, authentic, and special. Whether you are new to wine or a seasoned enthusiast, I want to help you discover bottles that excite you and taste exactly as they were meant to.”

Today, we are proud to work with domaines in regions such as Alsace, the Loire Valley, Bandol, Champagne, and the Jura — with many more to come. Signup and be part of the journey.
