Stainton Wines - Peace of mind

We have been independent wine importers trading for almost twenty five years. The shareholders are still involved in the business day to day. Our reputation and integrity is second to none and we are often mentioned in the relevant press, Wine Magazine, Decanter, Which wine etc.
We are totally independent which means total freedom of choice which means we only offer wines that meet our strict quality criteria.

The four principal members of staff have a combined total of 100 years in the wine trade, 70 of which have been in this business.
