Who We Are

How many wines are sitting in restaurants today, gathering dust, just waiting to be opened? And how many wines, stocked for limited demand, are left forgotten in storage?
Our service was created to solve exactly these challenges.

Yutaro, who managed a Japanese restaurant in London, always kept red wine available for the occasional customer who loved to drink it. As he explored various restaurants, he noticed many offered cheaper wines due to budget constraints, leading to missed opportunities. This realization, shared with his long-time wine expert friend Andrea, inspired them to launch this service and tackle the issue head-on.

Meet The Team
