Company

Majestic Wine is the largest wine specialist in the UK with over 200 stores, as well as a very significant online presence and megastores in Calais, France. Following the merger between Naked Wines and Majestic, CEO Rowan Gormley has set the wheels in motion to transform the business into a new kind of retailer – a retailer that is loved by customers, loved by suppliers and loved by shareholders. 

We believe wine – whether you’re buying it or selling it, and especially when you’re drinking it – should be full of fun!

There are plenty of places where you can buy decent wine. What gets us really excited is interesting wine – wines that are just a little special! They’re difficult to find in the supermarkets but we’ve got hundreds of them for our customers to explore, and we don’t believe anyone should pay over the odds to find them. Majestic makes interesting affordable, so everyone can enjoy it.
