Welcome to One Wine Cellar Consultants

Wine has been at the heart of civilization since the ancient Roman, Greek and Egyptian empires. It has been described as “the most civilized thing in the world.” By Ernest Hemingway.

It has been written about by the greatest authors. Jane Austin wrote in Sense and Sensibility "I have just recollected that I have some of the finest old Constantia wine in the house that was ever tasted; so I have brought a glass of it for your sister. My poor husband! How fond he was of it! Whenever he had a touch of old colicky gout, he said it did him more good than anything else in the world. Do take it to your sister."

And for some wine has been worth going to war over, "Remember gentlemen, it's not just France we are fighting for, it's Champagne!"
Winston S. Churchill, 1918

It brings joy to those who drink it, relaxing the tongue, stimulating the mind and is as vital to any celebration or meal as the occasion or the food.

It is also the only natural consumable that is a collector’s item and a potential investment.

Wine like no other beverage has a personality of its own, reflecting the personality of the place in which the grapes grow, the culture of the people who live their, the food enjoyed by them and the personality of the winemakers. With each vintage reflecting the climate and weather of that year.

We live in a global village, and are privileged to have world’s finest wines and spirits within our grasp.
