About Wines Direct
Written by the company
Wine; it’s not just another drink. It’s about people. It’s about places. It’s a melting pot of history and culture. And most of all, it’s about pleasure. Our mission is to bring you wines that reflect these qualities and that represent the people and places from which they come.
Wines Direct is an Irish family owned and operated wine importers. The wines we offer you represent a 25-year labour of love. We are uncompromising in our mission to source independently made wines directly from growers around the world and we apply our strict selection criteria to each and every wine on our list, from the everyday to the extraordinary.
We go out of our way to avoid the boring, mass-produced wines so as to create and sustain a market of choice for you and your fellow wine lovers. We do so by walking the ground of the world’s famous and not so famous wine regions and by directly sourcing from dedicated and fiercely independent winemakers. Where the supermarket chains sponsor homogeneity and bulk production, we believe our approach encourages diversity, independence and quality.
As well as offering you great wine, we want you to get closer to the vineyards they come from, which is why we discover the back story behind each and every bottle and share it with you. We hope you will join us on our journey as we explore the wonderful world of wine. Cheers!

Hi there James, sorry to hear you couldn't get your wine in the timeframe you required. We dispatch orders within one business day but have no control over the speed of our couriers as they are a 3rd party. Hope to see you with us again soon!

So many choices...
Great spacious shop with good lighting. A very good selection of young wines from various countries and regions too. The friendly staff know what they are talking about which is great help. Got a few bottles so far and never disappointed with some surprising discoveries. White, red, rosé, champagne, proseco etc... Wine tasting coming up too... Great addition to our town of Athlone. Best of luck to the wines direct team.
