Historia

Wine Express is Poland’s original mail order wine company. It was started by former war correspondent John Borrell in 1995 when mail order meant stuffing envelopes with offers, licking stamps and carrying heavy cardboard boxes off to the nearest post office. Thankfully the world wide web rescued us from these chores and we’ve been online ever since.

While going online made sales and marketing much easier, it didn’t change our original business model. It’s simplicity itself. We buy great wines directly from outstanding wineries worldwide and sell directly to our online and other clients throughout Poland. No middlemen, no padded margins and customer savings of up to 40% on prices for similar wines in retail outlets.

Wine is about place and people and if you have walked the vineyards, talked to the winemakers and met the owners, you’re are in a much better position to make wise selections for your list than after a quick sip and spit at a crowded wine trade fair. We’ve visited almost every single one of our suppliers over the past three decades and had dozens of them visit us in Poland. That personal interplay and our genuine interest in all things vinous (we’ve even our very own vineyard) has enabled us to forge one of the most comprehensive and interesting selections of wine in Poland.

One final good reason for shopping with us is that the Wine Express team has collectively chalked up more than 100 years of employment with our family-owned business. That’s a lot of shared experience with wine and the service ethos that makes Wine Express the company it is. They’re here to share it all with you.

Here are the most important people in our team:
