Lay & Wheeler Avis 

Great selection and much helpful advice volunteered.

L&W are easy to do business with and offer good wines at competitive prices. Delivery is prompt and items come well packaged.

Great wine merchant. Good wine recommendations. Reasonable storage charges. Let you buy, store and withdraw single bottles vs many that insist on full cases or charge to break the case. Service is good if something goes wrong (central London deliveries can always be a little hit and miss - new provider Pack Fleet is generally very good though).

Good range of wines at a reasonable price.
I like the ability to purchase en primeur with advice from the team. Cellar club membership has been educational and fun enabling me to build a good, varied selection of wines.

Broad range of wines, en primeur, on a single bottle (which is fairly unusual for in-bond purchases) or case basis, like the website and easy to manage cellar. Personal wine adviser is very attentive and helpful. This has been consistently good over many years

Lay & Wheeler always professional and caring, have a large range of wines and vintages to offer at very competitive price points. Would fully recommend Lay & Wheeler 👍

Knowledgeable executive, easy ordering, fast response time and excellent delivery.

If you are a wine enthusiast like me and are looking for a wine merchant who can offer wines for that special occasion but excels in sourcing
outstanding wines at affordable prices L&W is an excellent choice.

I like Lay & Wheeler. They do a good job. I buy some blue-chip wines from them, but for me their main strength is in bringing my attention to wines I’ve not heard of. They’re also rather good on Loire wines. Very good account managers too – my current manager, Sam C. is super-helpful. Their Cellar Circle is good too – access to harder-to-find wines and lower cellaring fees.

In the last couple of decades I’ve also brought wines from Berry Bros and Rudd; I use them more for the blue-chip wines. They’re good – especially their trading boards to buy/sell wines in their customers’ collections - but I feel L&W are perhaps a little more innovative in their range of wines.

I also bought from Fine and Rare Wines but in the last year or two they’ve gone downhill quite a lot so I’ve stopped using them.

To sum up L&W are super reliable, with a consistently interesting range of wines, and I’ve never had any problems with them. Only good stuff.

Alice and Steffan always provide the best customer service. Great selections and always provide the great suggestions.

Very good website

Excellent range of world wines in all price ranges, with great customer service. Expert wine advisors with a friendly, personal service. Cellaring services, reliable deliveries and brokerage options.
Wouldn't go anywhere else!

There are not many brokers where you can buy single bottles, from bond, at such good prices. So much flexibility, and I was particularly impressed with the delivery process too.

Lay&Wheeler has a wide selection of wine especially Bordeaux Grand Crus, best price on the market for singular bottles and best customer service. I do recommend signing up to cellar circle to gain access to a fine wine advisor and free delivery!!! I have spent quite a hefty amount of money with them cuz they are amazing!

Nearly didn't order due to some of the negative reviews below, so thought I should share my experience as it was excellent.

Ordered 15:00 Thursday 3 bottles of "Sold by client" wines duty paid for delivery. All items arrived with me 4 days later 09:15 Monday morning.

The prices were the best I could source the wine for.

Very happy customer and will be ordering again.

Lay and Wheeler are exemplary when it comes to excellent customer service. Always helpful with advice and last minute changes to orders. My experience of their “Cellar Circle” is overwhelmingly positive and I highly recommend it.

great advice from knowledgable and helpful expert

Lay & Wheeler score highly on multiple fronts:
* One of the biggest selections of wines
* Probably the most user friendly website of all major merchants
* Consistently cheaper than the majors

My wine advisor - Ms Kelly is also extremely proactive and always recommending very interesting wines for me to try.
