If you live the in UK and like a decent wine then you are in luck. There are plenty of retailers offering a broad range of conventional, organic, bio-dynamic wine and natural wines. The only problem with this is, how do you know what to buy? How do we know what’s good and what’s bad? And most importantly, how do we know who to buy it from!? For the environmentally conscious wine drinkers out there, this is our guide to the best biodynamic wine retailers. We think if you’re looking for biodynamic wine then you can’t go wrong with any of these biodynamic wine retailers.

#1 SAVAGE VINES

Ok, yes we are profiling ourselves in a list of biodynamic wine retailers, but it wouldn’t say much about our company if we didn’t include us in the list of best biodynamic wine retailers. Savage Vines was founded in 2017, with the intention to provide consumers with fantastic, low intervention wine sourced directly from small, independent wineries across the world.

We understand that the way people consume wine has changed. As a society we are increasingly aware of what we drink, where it comes from and the methods demonstrated in production.

With a Savage Vines monthly subscription, you receive your wines complete with a map, showing you where the wine comes from, tasting notes, food pairing suggestions and access to our Savage Vines podcast. The Savage Vines podcast takes you through each wine that we have sent, giving you more insights into the producers, wine styles and regions.

We believe that loyalty is key, so we are loyal to the people who believe in us. When you become a Savage Vines subscriber, you are entitled to 25% off wine repurchases. That means that if you really like a particular bottle that we send you, then you can get more of it for a discounted price! You’ll easily be able to find the bottles too through our extremely user friendly, online wine store. Our site lets customers filter through styles, regions, grapes and methods of production so you can find the exact wine that you’re looking for.

We like to think that we’re good at what we do, but don’t just take our word for it. We have been rated five stars over 217 times on trust pilot and have an ‘excellent’ reputation!

The Savage Vines monthly subscription begins for as little as £34.95 per month, including postage! We also offer gift wine subscriptions, if you’re looking to treat a special someone!

#2 BUON VINO

Buon Vino are a company streets ahead of your everyday, traditional wine retailer. Based in Settle, North Yorkshire (a beautiful part of the world), they have a retail space, wholesale capabilities and an online store.

Buon Vino are helping drive the natural wine scene in North Yorkshire and the North West by sourcing incredible biodynamic wines from the likes of Gut Oggau, a biodynamic powerhouse that sets the standard for natural wine production (in our humble opinion).

The online store at Buon Vino offers an extensive range of biodynamic and organic wines in a user friendly, easy to use format, which enables you to filter products through country of origin to style of production. They offer free local delivery on orders above £75 which is great, however if you don’t qualify for local delivery or don’t spend £75 then an additional charge of £4.95 which we don’t think is too bad either.

It’s not just our opinion though; Buon Vino was awarded the ‘Best organic and biodynamic specialist’ title at the Decanter retail awards! We would recommend ordering a mixed case. This qualifies you for free shipping and you get 12 bottles of fantastic low intervention wine to choose from! Definitely one of the best biodynamic wine retailers.

#3 WRIGHT’S FOOD EMPORIUM

You might be thinking “What’s a food store doing on a wine page?” Well, when this food store has a dedicated section to natural wine and online store we think it deserves a place on our list of top biodynamic wine retailers.

We included this small welsh outfit in our list of best UK biodynamic wine retailers because of the dedication they have to biodynamic and natural produce. The online store isn’t as user friendly as bigger wine retailers, but that adds to the charm. The pictures of the bottles in their retail space were clearly taken on a smartphone, which we like. It reaffirms the wholesome, independent lifestyle and mindset that Biodynamic principles represent.

Their online store presents the costs upfront and don’t hide any added taxes/vat to your order. The delivery charges are worked out based on volume of your order (bottles) and distance of delivery, which is fair. They also offer gift vouchers, so if you know a biodynamic wine fan and want to get them a gift (Christmas is coming), I’m sure they’ll be very happy with a voucher from Wright’s Food Emporium!

#4 L’ALTREVI

Mother and son duo, Rachel and Ruben Everett are behind the brilliant L’altrevi, which is next on our list of best biodynamic wine retailers. This Oxford based company is THE place to go for natural Catalan wine (maybe second to Savage Vines). The Everetts have a lot of family ties and links to the Penedes region of Catalunya. They use these personal connections to bring some of the best biodynamic wine to the UK.

L’altrevi’s unique selling point is that they only sell wine from Catalunya and only work with small wineries with whom they have a personal relationship with. Because of this they currently work with nine wineries, from four of the DOs in the region and at the time of writing are over in Catalunya. They’re sourcing more wine to add to their collection!

We ran a piece earlier in the year about our favourite natural wineries in Catalunya, which coincidentally featured some of L’altrevi’s producers. That’s got to be a reason to feature them on our favourite biodynamic wine retailers list.

The L’altrevi website is very user friendly and their online blog is regularly updated to inform customers of their latest exploits. When purchasing, it is very straight forward. Items are subject to £9.50 shipping costs, however we think that it’s worth it. After all, you’re paying for specially picked, biodynamic wines, produced by independent bodegas, supplied by an independent importer! For sure, they’re one of the biodynamic wine retailers to watch.

#5 PURE WINES

Rounding out our list of biodynamic wine retailers is Pure Wines. Pure Wines are a young company (established in 2018) who specialise in importing natural wines to the UK. In a short amount of time, they have amassed an impressive catalogue of over 140 wines. These range from little known bottles from small production wineries like ‘Promised Land‘ by Tim Phillips, all the way to world renowned wines like ‘Susucaru‘ from Frank Cornellisen.

The Pure Wines website is very easy to navigate, which is one of the reasons we’ve included them on our list of biodynamic wine retailers. There are multiple drop down columns, enabling you to filter through regions, styles and grapes varieties. So if you have a hankering for a specific kind of wine, you’ll be able to find it.

There’s three options for delivery. Standard delivery is £7.99, next day delivery is £8.99 and Saturday deliveries are £13.99. Alternatively, if you’re based in London, then you can collect from their offices in Fitzrovia for free. Pure Wines also offer to half and even waive the delivery price if you buy 12 or 18 bottles respectively. A great up and coming option from our list of biodynamic wine retailers.

SUPPORT WINE RETAILERS

We hope you enjoyed reading our guide to the UK’s best biodynamic wine retailers. The demand for low intervention wines has increased exponentially in recent years, which has afforded the growth of companies like Savage Vines and our friends from the other profiled companies. However, the retail space is difficult, especially when we have to compete with the buying power of supermarkets. This is evident from the sheer amount of vintners closing their doors (Le Petit Ballon UK for example).

With this in mind, we encourage you to support independent wine retailers, particularly biodynamic wine retailers who are bringing in biodynamic wines to the UK.

We hope you enjoyed this list of biodynamic wine retailers. If you’d simply just like to learn more about wine from the comfort of your own home, be sure to check out our online blog and sign up to our mailing list. We’re always looking to teach people about different regions, grape varieties and producers. Beyond that, you can expect to find a whole host of playlists, cocktail cards and recipe cards packed full of wine pairing ideas. There might even be some special offers along the way so make sure that you don’t miss out!
