So, first off, meet Elliot Awin! Elliot Awin – The […]
We keep banging on about the strange times we’re living in, but it’s true – the entire world has been shut down now for what seems like a lifetime and as such, we’ve all had to take our collective foot off the accelerator and accept a slightly slower pace of life as a consequence. That […]
Everyone keeps saying what strange times we’re living in, and it’s true. Never in living memory has the world shut down like this. Walls are being erected, markets are tumbling, travel is curtailed, work is cancelled, schools are shut and socialising is taboo. Welcome to our new reality. Covid-19 and the wine industry But before […]

For 364 days of the year, great wine is not something to be messed around with. On April 1st, however, I think playing a little trick involving wine is very much on the cards. After all, the horror that hits the victim’s face will provide a classic moment. And besides, the results are only temporary. […]
Going green: How we’re making Pull The Cork eco-friendly in 2019??

As some of you might know, starting a business from scratch needs an incredible amount of hard work, determination and passion, and from this, there is a lot of learning. At Pull The Cork, we have encountered some incredible things this year and met a lot of fun people along the way, and I am sure […]
A recent article in the press reports that consumers are drinking less wine now than ever before and that 2018 has been a challenging year for the wine trade. Mainstream wine sales might be down, but organic wine sales are on the rise. Consumers are beginning to be more conscious about what they are drinking, […]

After 11 months in operation, Pull The Cork has come from strength to strength, we have taken on board the advice and feedback from our customers and supplier alike – and created a much more […]
I have to confess to being relatively new to this wine thing. So I was thrilled when Pull the Cork team asked me along to a wine tasting this week in his high-and-low search for wines you’ll love. And all because, once upon a time, James sold me an £8 bottle of red that relegated […]
Wine, or variants of it, have been around for millennia, with the earliest version of Pull the Cork around over six thousand years ago in Armenia – well, a winery producing natural red wine – which is what we sell. That cave was also the site of the oldest brain, the earliest shoe, and a […]
From catastrophe to chemistry My flat warming was in full flow, around 30 guests, 400 square feet, that pleasant buzz of lively conversations taking place when a friend and his girlfriend arrived totally off their trolley from their office drinks party. Both introduced their presence in a gloriously shouty and socially inappropriate manner. Within moments, […]

Supermarket wine is a bit like Coca-Cola – the same taste, every year, at the same price. Everywhere. It is the opposite to the natural wines our customers buy from this platform. Our wine is small production, natural and sustainable. It is wine. Unlike commercially manufactured wine products, which are sometimes diluted from concentrate, our wine […]
