Press release: Wednesday 20th July 2011

SparklingEnglishWine.com officially launched!

New website, SparklingEnglishWine.com, is set to revolutionise the way premium English sparkling wine is sold from vineyards directly to consumers. "The concept will help encourage consumers to take a punt on new and exciting wines from lesser known producers, as well as top brands," explains managing director Jeremy Cook. With a minimum spend of just £35, and currently offering free delivery, customers need not commit to purchasing a case of 12.

One of the featured producers is Anthony Budd of Blackboys Vineyard in East Sussex. He says the website is ideal for his business model: "As a relatively small-scale producer I enjoy caring for my vines myself, a very time-consuming practice. Having SparklingEnglishWine.com to market and sell my produce frees me up to concentrate on working in the vineyard. The directors share my passion for English sparkling wine and belief in a quality product."

Oliver Marsh, from award-winning RidgeView Estate in West Sussex, concurred, stating, "The guys behind SparklingEnglishWine.com have developed a great concept into an easy to use and original website, mixing and matching the best wines from the top producers all in one place."

As well as shaking up direct-to-consumer wine sales, SparklingEnglishWine.com also showcases England's top fizz producers to give customers a unique insight into their purchases. "Most people that enjoy wine like to know a bit more about the producer than what is just written on the bottle label," says Jeremy. "Regularly updated news, photographs and videos will help connect consumers to the producers so that they can understand and appreciate what they are drinking."

SparklingEnglishWine.com was founded by Jeremy Cook, Tom Jones and Tim Wills, who all studied viticulture and winemaking at the renowned Plumpton College in East Sussex. "Our expertise in wine sales and production combined with internet business management has resulted in a distinctive business model that will be of enormous benefit to wine lovers," adds operations director, Tom.

The innovative concept has attracted critical acclaim from several of the wine industry's most notable commentators. International winemaker David Cowderoy comments: "At last - a dedicated one-stop shop! When, over 25 years ago, I produced one of the first commercially available English sparkling wines, it was certainly something of a novelty. Now the industry is coming of age and can hold its head high on the international scene. SparklingEnglishWine.com is a much-needed development to easily allow the consumer to discover and enjoy all that is excellent in this exciting sector. This is definitely one to watch."
