Welcome to The
Bargain Bottle Shop
The slightly chaotic home of brilliant booze bargains. We believe every bottle deserves a second chance.
Some bottles end up in fancy shops with mood lighting, serious labels and someone explaining they can taste “hints of wet stone”.
Ours usually arrive on a pallet with a wonky box and someone saying:
“We’ve got 600 of these. Can you help?”
Yes. Yes we can.
We hunt down:
Then we pass the bargains on.
Why are they cheap?
Good question. Sometimes:
The important bit? Nothing wrong with the booze. Something went wonderfully wrong with the paperwork.
Powered by The Smiling Grape Company 🍇
We’re not new to booze. The Smiling Grape Company started back in 2008, buying, selling and discovering interesting bottles from around the world. We’ve always loved finding the bottles other people missed. The hidden gems. The strange finds. The “how is this still available?” bargains.
We also created Tipple Tours, taking thirsty travellers on wine, beer and food adventures around the world. After years of finding hidden gems abroad, we thought: why not rescue some hidden gems at home too?
So The Bargain Bottle Shop was born.
Our Philosophy
No velvet jackets.
No confusing wine waffle.
No pretending every bottle needs a 20-minute speech.
Just:
Welcome to the bargain aisle.
Have a rummage. You might discover your new favourite wine. You might find something completely ridiculous. You might ask:
“Who bought 2,000 bottles of banana liqueur?”
(The answer is probably us.)
Either way… it’ll be cheaper than it should be. 🍾
