The Wine List (WL) gives confidence to wine lovers through a home wine course. The company argues that 20% of the UK's wine drinkers fall into a cohort that is actively engaged, spend at the higher end of the market, and frequently drink from a variety of sources. But less than 20,000 people don't have the requisite knowledge about different wine styles and tastes. WL aims to change this scenario by offering a home wine course to customers where alongside their wine lessons, they also get two bottles of wine to practice their skills on. The company has shipped 20,000+ bottles of wine and witnessed revenues of £298,000 in April-October 2020. WL is also building a digital content platform that will offer best in class video lessons, with learning quizzes to reinforce knowledge. The company has featured in Metro, Evening Standard, and Courier. It will use the investment to increase content production, wine delivery and scale into 2021.
