Interestingly a new exclusively organic wine shop in Cumbria – Organico – will not be selling wine online. The company, interviewed in this weeks Off Licence News, thinks that selling online is “too cut-throat and bitchy for us”. Not sure where they get that impression from.
So sadly they wont be featuring much here on UKWOL for this site is geared towards online merchants – their websites, their offers, wines and their tastings.
If you are looking for organic wines then head on over to either Vinceremos (300 wines, beers and other drinks), Vintage Roots (again 300 wines and other organic and biodynamic wines) or Festival Wines (a new-last-year company with 39 wines listed). Finally Vine Organic, based in Scotland, was launched earlier this year. They list 79 wines.
I’ll try and have a closer look at each of these merchants over the coming few days.
Here at Organico we never did work out what could have been said during our visit from Off License News last year but clearly it came out all wrong.
It was never our intention not to sell on the internet, if you’ll excuse the double negative, we just wanted to take our time developing the shop and our trade business.
Our website can now be viewed at http://www.organi.co.uk.
Sorry for the confusion. We have always seen on-line trading as a very significant route to market.
