Loads of micros have started up in the last 2 years, a mate of mine started one this summer.
Good luck! Hard work for not much reward IMO.

No way to contact the company, apart from a form.Originally posted by conned tractor View PostOK then, you can have some samples also. As can all the people who originally agreed to be guinea pigs a while ago. I'll be in touch in Jan to get a delivery address for you all.

Unfortunately the courier service is coming in at £7.37 and I don't think people would be prepared to pay that.
My wine club charges £7 for a case of 12 bottles which I guess is 15-20kg. What are you trying to ship exactly, for £7.37?

Parcel2go seems to have a few options and an Amazon API which you might be able to leverage to calculate shipping costs accurately.

Maybe have a word from the guys at nakedwine.com - they're only 3 years young and run an excellent service. Basically delivery is £5 or free if you spend over £100. I'm sure they'd happily help out a new start-up, especially as you're not competing.
You maybe able to shift a few units through them too.

Will speak to a mate and see what he uses. Unfortunately postage costs have gone skywards over the past year or so.

as for couriers just use UK Courier Delivery Services - European Parcels - PayPerParcel as wine is accepted by them with a couple of restrictions on packaging and that is as much a marketing opportunity as a problem.
Either way tell me when you launch and I'll try some (even though I think I guessed correctly first).

well my local always has 8 real ales on - and they always try to source from small breweries.
I will expose your website to the landlord to see if he is interested!
Good work fella

Any real man would love his own real ale microbrewery, for a reasonable price.
Is there such a franchise already?
