About Us

At Drinks of France we offer exclusive products from small family vineyards, enabling you to discover and experience the true taste of independently produced French wines and spirits. It seems that, like us, many people come home from France having found some delicious local specialities, only to be frustrated when they try to buy them here in the UK. That disappointment is, in a nutshell, what we’re here to address.

We now travel regularly throughout France actively seeking out those wines, aperitifs and spirits which are rarely found outside the local area where they’re produced, buying only from vignerons récoltants – producers who undertake all the winemaking processes themselves – no middle men. We hope you like what you see and that you’ll soon want to become a regular customer.
