North South Wines is a young and dynamic UK-based wine distributor that discovers and supplies wines that deliver exceptional quality and value to customers in both the on and off-trade sectors. Established in 2014, with a view to ‘do things differently’, North South Wines has become more than just your average wine distributor. Unlike most agency models, we are part-producer owned, offering a streamlined fit-for-the-future model that provides great service and value to our customers. We proudly serve as agency partners for an additional 30 wineries from around the globe. Our mission is to champion better business practices in wine distribution by providing excellent customer service, investing in workplace well-being, minimising our impact on the environment, and nurturing strong partner relationships. In 2023, we achieved B Corp certification, and we actively advocate industry-wide collaboration to accelerate sustainable action and promote business as a force for good. We were honoured to be named 'Distribution Company of the Year 2023' by the Drinks Business.

One week ago Elisa Valentinelli and Antonio Salvoni were at SID - Sustainability in Drinks event for the inaugural conference "Creating Value through Sustainability" and the exibition at St. Mary's Wyndham Place in London with #SantaTresa, #Cortese and #Purato wines! #TheWinePeople #TWPontheroad #OrganicWines #SicilianWines #Sustainability
As reported in Chris Wilson's article in The Buyer, our perception of the Austrian category was also challenged when we first tried wines from our Austrian partner Weingut Salzl Seewinkelhof . Nestled in the heart of the Neusiedlersee National Park (the region is also a World Unesco Heritage site by the way) , it produces compelling wines made of both local and international grapes. We were charmed by the salty tang on the whites and the vivacity of the reds. If you wish to taste for yourself, the range will be available to sample at the Austrian Wine Tasting - 11th of November - The Stables - Unit X - 40 Earlham Street London WC2H 9LH Don't miss it! https://lnkd.in/e7Ri84HK
Our brand new Independents Wine List has landed! 📜🍷 We went back to the drawing board with this one, wanting to create a visual identity that feels very 'North South Wines' but tailored to the Indies channel. So, we enlisted the expertise of Sam Johnson at Pieno, whom we met at Grapest Hits last year. Together with designer Sean Knowles, we developed a fresh design scheme, refined the tone and wrote completely new copy to showcase the diverse array of producers in our portfolio. It's a bold step forward and we're thrilled with the result! We enlisted fellow Bicester-based B Corp, Webmart , to print the physical copies. These are printed on recycled paper with Webmart calculating, mitigating and offsetting the environmental impact of each project. In this case, 1,049g of CO2e has been offset. ♻️🌱 A huge thank you to Sam, Sean and Alexander Buck at Webmart for helping us bring this to life! If you'd like to browse the flipbook, the link is in the comments. For a hard copy, please contact your account manager. #wineportfolio #independentswinelist #indywine #wineimporter #newdesign
This #WorldMentalHealthDay, the focus is on the workplace and how we can better support the people around us. Recently, we participated in a Workplace Mental Health training session led by our charity partner, Restore. Today, we continued this with a Stress & Anxiety training course to help us recognise the signs and provide the best support to our colleagues. Talking about mental health can be difficult, whether with friends, family, or colleagues. Starting the conversation is often the hardest step, so coming together as a business to openly discuss these issues is crucial. We’re proud to partner with Restore in prioritising mental health in the workplace. Together, we’re taking steps to ensure mental health is a daily priority, not just today. Restore (Rehabilitation Services Trust For Oxfordshire Re-Employment) 💚 #MentalHealthMatters #PartneringForGood #RestoreCharity #WorldMentalHealthDay

Next Thursday, our boardroom is going to look a little different… 🚲🚲 We’ll be setting up two Peloton bikes for 24 hours of non-stop pedalling! Why are we doing this? This marks our first major fundraising event for our charity partner, Restore (Rehabilitation Services Trust For Oxfordshire Re-Employment), a fantastic local charity supporting adults recovering from mental ill health.

It promises to be an action-packed day! As we keep the pedals turning, there will also be a cake sale, wine raffle, blind wine tastings, and a few other surprises. 🍰🍾🧁🎟️ You can follow our progress on social media throughout the day, and we might even have a visit from BBC Radio Oxford! 👀 We would greatly appreciate your support—whether by donating, sharing this post, or simply cheering us on!
