About us

That's the difference. He doesn't source wines to fill a catalogue. He buys what he wants to drink himself. Estates he's followed for years. Vintages he believes in before anyone else does.

Every case is stored exactly as it arrived. Sealed, untouched, in professional climate-controlled conditions (unless we need to taste it, obviously).

Over time, the collection outgrew his own cellar. And the interest from collectors who knew Edwin grew with it. So now you benefit from years of obsession, early access, and the kind of patience most wine merchants can't afford.

The Great Wine is not for insiders only. It's for anyone with taste and the willingness to act before everyone else catches on.

Which creates an interesting dilemma: Edwin buys what he wants to drink, and sells what he wants to keep.

You're welcome.

How are the wines stored?

In a professional, climate-controlled facility in the Netherlands. Constant temperature, constant humidity. Every bottle is traceable from purchase to delivery.
