About Naked Wines plc
Naked Wines connects everyday wine drinkers with the world's
best independent winemakers.
Why? Because we think it's a better deal for everyone. Talented
winemakers get the support, funding and freedom they need to make
the best wine they've ever made. The wine drinkers who support them
get much better wine at much better prices than traditional
retail.
It's a unique business model. Naked Wines customers commit to a
fixed prepayment each month which goes towards their next purchase.
Naked in turn funds the production costs for winemakers, generating
savings that are passed back to its customers. It creates a
virtuous circle that benefits both wine drinker and winemaker.
Our mission is to change the way the whole wine industry works
for the better. In the last year, we have served more than 960,000
Angel members in the US, UK and Australia, making us a leading
player in the fast-growing direct-to-consumer wine market.
Our customers (who we call Angels) have direct access to 266 of
the world's best independent winemakers making over 2,500 quality
wines in 20 different countries. We collaborate with some of the
world's best independent winemakers like Matt Parish (Beringer,
Stags' Leap) and 8-time Winemaker of the Year Daryl Groom (Penfolds
Grange).
