Cloudwine Imports Portfolio


Most of our customer's would be well aware that we largely focus on domestic producers together with a hand picked selection of kiwis. However a good portion of the customer base already has a strong interest in European wines and we figured we might dip the toe into this market.

Don't get us wrong, we would never profess to have the knowledge of this segment that perhaps Prince Wine Store (gasp!) or Ultimo does but nevertheless we deal with a number of importers that can be relied upon to consistently deliver high quality wines AND good value for money (yep - even in the Australian market context).

I suspect the portfolio will never exceed 100 wines but rest assured all bottles will show plenty of character at a very fair price. Our founding portfolio can be viewed below.....
