We deliver to wholesale customers from Cardiff to London. They include

The company has been trading in Shipston
on Stour since 1842.
Richard Badger, who started the business, became a vintner after
first selling medicated wine at his pharmacy and in the late 1850s
he passed the reins to his nephew, Edward Sheldon.
During the latter part of the 19th century the business flourished,
supplying wines throughout the United Kingdom and to many parts
of the Empire. Vintage Port, Sherry and Madeira were shipped for
Warwickshire's affluent country houses, officer's messes here and
abroad, and universities.
The company still occupies the original extensive cellars and offices.
