The Story of Vino & Friends
James Whitmore has always been a true wine enthusiast. For years, he ran a charming little wine shop in Bath, offering carefully selected wines from all over Europe. His store quickly became a meeting point for connoisseurs who appreciated not only his exquisite selection, but also his deep knowledge and passion for wine.
But life had other plans. Due to health reasons, James was no longer able to manage the physical demands of running a retail shop. Closing his beloved wine store was a difficult decision, but giving up his passion was never an option. So he set out on a new path – moving from the local shop to the digital world.
That’s how Vino & Friends was born – a platform created to bring together wine lovers across the UK. James’ mission was simple: to offer not only fine wines, but also smart accessories that elevate every wine experience. One of his first and most beloved innovations was the Vino & Friends Wine Chiller Stick – a practical tool that keeps your wine at the perfect drinking temperature for hours. It quickly became a bestseller, embodying James’ commitment to quality and enjoyment.
Today, Vino & Friends continues to grow. Alongside accessories like decanters, aerators and gift sets, James is expanding the collection with more stylish, functional and unique products for wine lovers. His vision is to offer everything you need to create unforgettable wine moments – from casual dinners to festive celebrations.
Vino & Friends is no longer just a shop. It’s a tribute to a lifelong passion, transformed into a brand that celebrates good wine, good company and the beauty of thoughtful details.
