AWESOME WINES FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

ABOUT US

Embargo is quietly changing how people buy wine in the UK. Our approach is simple – find wines we love that have never been in the UK before. The packaging needs to be stellar, the pricing needs to be spot on and the producers themselves need to be lovely, ideally with a sense of humour.  

We import all the wines that we sell ourselves, and whilst we love all the usual suspects (Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec…blah blah) our particular penchant is for leftfield regions and styles, giving you the opportunity for genuinely original tasting experiences; the kinds of bottles that really cause a stir at dinner parties.

We then launch them here at Embargo for a limited period of around 6-8 weeks, before our trade arm Propeller moves them into the UK’s finest independent merchants. As a result you lucky sods get the chance to experience brand new producers before anyone else. We also encourage you to give us feedback on the wines which we share directly with the producer, and thus you’ll play a key part in shaping their destiny in the UK. What’s more, for the wines that you want to develop a long term relationship with we’ll hook you up with retailers near you that stock them, at exactly the same prices.

Enjoy a wine less ordinary at Embargo!
