We love Naked Wines because they operate very differently to the normal wine delivery services. Naked Wines encourage peopel to follow their wine-making dreams by funding talented winemakers and giving them the freedom to make wines the way they want to. Then they help happy wine drinkers (like you and I) to get the best of these wines. Since launching in 2008, their wine “Angels” have helped to invest over £25m in more than 130 winemakers worldwide. Now that’s something worth toasting. Cheers!
