Our Secret: Direct Sourcing—The Explanation

The reason is simple: We cut out the middleman.

The traditional wine supply chain is riddled with unnecessary stops—importers, national distributors, regional wholesalers, and so on—each adding a profit margin that ultimately you, the customer, have to pay.

Winedrops eliminates this inefficiency. We buy directly from Boekenhoutskloof and bring the wine straight from the cellar to our warehouse. We pass these maximum savings—the cost of all those middlemen—straight to our members.

This is not a flash sale or a loss leader. This is the UK’s best long-term price on a world-class wine, made possible by a superior business model. Get a globally renowned, benchmark wine without the crippling traditional markup.

The Chocolate Block is an essential lifestyle choice. It’s the must-have red blend for your cellar, your dinner table, and your next gathering. A wine of this pedigree at £10.00 for members is unprecedented and a deal that cannot last forever. Our stock is flying out the door.
