Welcome to the Flying Corkscrew online!

The Flying Corkscrew wine shop

For those of you who don't know, The Flying Corkscrew is an award-winning independent wine merchant based in Hertfordshire.

For over 10 years we have been supplying some of the best restaurants and gastro-pubs with their wine. We opened The Flying Corkscrew shop 4 years ago, so people could benefit from our select list of wines in a friendly and comfortable environment. We'll deliver in the UK too.

We love wine. In fact, we only sell wines that we drink ourselves. Our time is spent travelling the world and meeting the people who grow it. And we love talking about it: the grapes, the weather, the soil, the growing methods and, most of all, the taste. As well as wines from around the globe, we've also got a huge list of international beers and spirits for you to try. See our beer and spirits list
