Wine is a great adventure – let us be your guide

Back in 2019, I realised something curious: the most compelling wines in the world were hiding in plain sight.

Most people never experience them. Not because these wines are expensive or rare, but because the path to discovery is broken. It's like Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole but never finding Wonderland.

So we built Ourglass with a simple idea: connect people directly to authentic wines through the eyes of experts who care.

We find the winemakers doing good work – work that reflects terroirs, expresses variety and honours culture. We sample, taste, and research every bottle painstakingly. Then we make each selection to match and expand your palate, deliver the story behind it, and suggest pairings that turn the everyday into something memorable.

That's it. No mysteries, no pretence. Just beautiful wines – wines we love – waiting to be enjoyed.

Brilliant in every regard! This was a leaving gift for a colleague and the team at Ourglass Wine were quick to respond and extremely accommodating on the subscription as it was a surprise. If you are looking for outstanding service, incredible wine with an individual touch look no further.

I really enjoy drinking different wines that I’d never normally have tried. I also noticed the step up in quality when we tried a £12 bottle of Rioja from our local supermarket.

Beautifully selected exquisite wine for a good price I love how carefully selected the wines are, delivered with information on its taste, origins and food they can be combined with. The wines are always delicious. We are quite picky drinkers yet we’re always amazed, you get so much for your money!

Fantastic subscription, quality better than the wine society I love my Ourglass subscription! We get a sample of high quality wines that are great value for money. The quality is always better than what I would have chosen for myself. I thought I had a good sense of what I like, but Ourglass has introduced me to bottles I wouldn't have chosen and really enjoyed. I cancelled our wine society subscription after a few months of Ourglass boxes and increased the number of bottles we get from Ourglass. It's miles better!

This is a present that goes above and beyond standard alcohol delivery services, and a subscription service so good you might as well put yourself down for a subscription while you're at it.

Wine ClubOurglass Welcome to Wine Guide

Wine is a looking glass – one that transforms ordinary moments into something memorable. It turns life's natural pleasures up to 11: food becomes a feast, conversation flows like music, and everything turns to colour. Not just something to drink, but something to discover. As Mr Wonka says, there is no life I know to compare with pure imagination.

Frequently asked questions

Wine subscription shouldn't be complicated.

It should easy peasy, lemon pleasy.

Here are some answers to the questions that people often ask.

If you need to know anything else, reach us at advice@ourglass.wine.

Book Consultation

We deliver to all UK mainland addresses in carefully designed packaging via DPD and Royal Mail. Your wines arrive within 3-5 days, requiring an adult signature (it's the law, not our choice). Each box is expertly packed to protect your discoveries – no broken bottles, no heat damage, just perfect wine waiting to be enjoyed.

Absolutely. Skip a month, pause your membership, or cancel completely – all with a single click. No hidden conditions, no awkward conversations. Your journey, your pace.

Yes. As you rate your discoveries, we learn your preferences. Want more Portuguese reds? Fewer oaky whites? Simply tell us. You can even preview and adjust your upcoming box before it ships. We're guides, not dictators.

Perfect – you're exactly who we created Ourglass for. Each bottle comes with simple, interesting notes about what makes it special and what foods bring out its best. No knowledge required, just curiosity.

Every wine must pass our expert panel's blind tasting to earn its place in your box. But the final verdict is yours – if any bottle disappoints, we replace it or credit your account immediately. No forms, no interrogations. We mean it.

Three things: wines the insiders drink that you won't find in supermarkets, complete freedom to manage your membership without hassle, and the stories behind each bottle that transform drinking into discovering. It's like having a deeply clued in friend who happens to have brilliant taste and insider access.

Yes. The price you see is the price you pay. No surprises at checkout.

Monthly by default, but you control the schedule. Fancy a delivery every two months? Or perhaps six weeks? Simply adjust it in your account. Wine should fit your life, not interrupt it.

Our members enjoy wines at 15-25% below typical retail prices, thanks to our direct relationships with producers. But the real value is access – many of these wines simply aren't available elsewhere in the UK.
