What is Lot18?

We are a members-only marketplace for the discovery of exceptional wines ranging from First Growths to Tuesday night tipples.

Our aim is to give our members access to these wines in the knowledge that they will represent the highest quality and value.

We hope you join our 750,000 members in the UK, France and the US and enjoy our service. We welcome questions and suggestions for improvements

How does Lot18 source its wine?

Our team of 15 wine experts scour all of the world"s wine regions to uncover the best wines - so that you, our members, don"t have to.

We taste every wine we offer to be sure that you are getting only the best. In fact, our tasting process is so rigorous that only around 6% of the wines tasted by our curators end up as Lot18 offers.

We work closely with winemakers to ensure that Lot18 can secure limited supply just for our members. We are always searching for that next hidden gem from whether a small independent winery in France"s Loire Valley, a California landmark from Napa , a treasure from Tuscany or a newcomer from Kent!

We live by a simple rule: If we wouldn"t spend our own money on a wine, we simply don"t offer it.

How does Lot18 work?

Lot18 operates a model where a select "lot" or batch of wine is offered for a limited time only to our members. The offers will normally last a matter of days or until our members have bought all available quantity.

Lot18 is not a wine supermarket.
