How did you get started?

Newcomer Wines began its journey from a humble container shipping unit, importing Austrian wines into the UK market, with a vision deeply rooted in changing agriculture for the better through the wine industry.

Fast forward 10 years, Peter alongside his co-founder Daniela and their team have cultivated an impressive network, collaborating with around 80 European winemakers. Their operations have expanded beyond a wine shop and bar to include distribution and wholesale to leading restaurants across the UK.

Starting from scratch, the Newcomer Wines team embraced learning and innovation at every step, challenging traditional rules to build a business that’s as much about fostering a community of like-minded individuals and winemakers as it is about wine itself.
