Welcome to The Good Wine Shop!

We're an independent wine merchant in beautiful West London with shops in Kew, Chiswick, Richmond Hill, Teddington and St Margarets. Trading now for nearly 25 years, we pride ourselves on our customer service delivered by our passionate and knowledgeable team of wine experts and enthusiasts. Our strap line of Good Wine, Real People, Great Stories aims to convey the passion we have for small family wine producers, many of whom farm organically and vinify without additives, producing wines of elegance and finesse. All of the wines we list are selected from wines we have tasted ourselves. We know our list and you can rely on our expertise to guide you; both in store and online.

Our unique portfolio of wines & spirits is selected by us.

Whilst we are focused on family owned and small producers who have a passion for what they do, we also love variety and enjoy exploring the increasingly and incredibly diverse grape varieties found throughout the wine world. You'll find over 120 different grape varieties to explore on our website and in store. Fancy trying a Nascetta di Novello, a Ruche, a Teroldego, a Nielluccio? Buy with confidence because we don't list wines from a catalogue – we try every wine before we buy it and you can find every wine we list on this website in one of our West London shops. You won't find them though on a supermarket shelf!

Head Office

Our Head Office is located at our Richmond Hill site. In addition to our website, it’s behind the scenes here that many of our listed wines from across the world first arrive. This is where our passionate Buying Team begins the journey of seeking out good wines from real people with great stories, before they finally make it onto our shelves.
