We have traded in Bath for more than 40 years and have always been incredibly proud to be a part of the local community. The shop is well known in the south-west and beyond, and is much loved by so many of our customers. But, the long-term future of our shop has been in jeopardy for a number of years after the owner of the property sought planning permission for commercial redevelopment.
We have been committed to retaining a physical presence in Bath, either through a new long-term lease, or finding a suitable alternative site in the city. Unfortunately, despite the hard work of the team, neither of these options has been possible.
That means The Great Wine Co. shop in Bath will sadly be closing its doors on Friday 5th June. This is clearly a regrettable outcome for our team and our customers, but one that was ultimately out of our control.
If you get the opportunity, please do visit us again before 5th June. Our team remains fully committed to providing you with the same great shopping experience you have become accustomed to over the past four decades, helping you to discover some of the very best wines from around the world.
We will continue to sell our full range of quality wines online, with free home delivery on all orders over £99 and a soon-to-be-launched click-and-collect options in Bath. We will also be investing in making the online shopping experience even more engaging and convenient for you, and will provide further updates on our plans as soon as we are able to.

Browsing for a gift bottle or two in a really good merchant's shop can be quite a lot of fun. First stop for me is [The Great Wine Co.] in Bath..... It's a deliciously old-fashioned emporium. Staff are really enthusiastic and expert but relaxed and good-humoured as well. The wines are the kind you don't find in supermarkets. Prices at every level are very competitive.

A choice of over 800 different bottles is on offer at our Bath shop. A selection of wines is always open for tasting, and enthusiastic and experienced staff encourage visitors to linger and browse whilst helping to find the perfect wine. The vast majority of the wineries whose wines we sell are imported by us, and represented in the UK by our wider business. In many cases we know the vineyard owners, winemakers or export managers personally. We hold wine tastings in the shop and will sometimes have the winemaker or winery owner present at the tasting.
In addition to wine we also stock over 400 premium spirits. These include over 100 gins, Cognacs from the major distilleries, whiskies from around the world and a large selection of rums, tequilas, vodkas and liqueurs. Our selection also includes a growing list of low and non-alcoholic spirits, mixers and a slection of beers including non-alcoholic and gluten free options.
