About The Corkscrew Wine Merchants
Our history
Established in 2004, The Corkscrew was founded by Colm Douglas, Paul Foley and Peter Foley, colleagues from what was one of Ireland’s most prominent wine merchants, Berry Brothers and Rudd. Berry's are no longer around, unfortunately, but we continue to grow by sourcing brilliant wines for our customers.
In 2008, we were subsequently joined by Christopher Gifford, who many of you will know from visiting the shop or attending our wine courses.
Our philosophy
Our philosophy is quite simple: to select wines that demonstrate the character and independence that we demand, wines which deliver quality and individuality regardless of price.
Terrific everyday wines, new world icons, established classics - they all have a place in our selection.
Value for money
We have wines of all styles and at all prices, all of them superb value for money, and because we import so many of our wines directly from the producers, we can afford to pass on the savings to you, we are confident you will find both quality and value for money throughout our entire selection.
We then endeavour to combine this personal selection with an old-fashioned personal service, knowledgeable and courteous where the customer is always put first and always appreciated.
