South West's Premier Wine Fair

Castang Wine Shippers and merchants is an Independent Family business established in 1979. Currently we operate throughout the South West England, and with distribution throughout the UK, together with key accounts in other areas of the country. During the past 30 years, we have steadily increased our portfolio of wines and agencies by expanding our activities firstly throughout Europe and more recently in the New World wineries. Our range now exceeds 450 wines. The business has a wide variety of skills and experience, which allows us to offer a comprehensive service together with advice to our clients.

The main activity of the company is the importation and supply of wines to private and corporate clients, wine merchants, hotels, restaurants, wine bars and Universities. We also supply mail order wine to private wine connoisseurs either for personal consumption or for gifting.

Products

logo Since 1979 we have specialised in the supply of wines purchased direct from growers and estates as well as the more traditional method of purchasing through negociants. Growers have been visited around the world directly at the vineyards to assess the quality of wines and to check methods of vinification. Our regular contacts and long term relationships with the wine makers helps to ensure high quality and thus avoiding badly made and dishonest wines. We should be pleased to help our clients with their plans to visit any of our suppliers. I feel that our list represents not only genuine value for money but also provides a selection of new, interesting, and unusual wines.

Over the years we have placed much emphasis on the selection of top quality country and house wines; and so with many good wine makers around the world combined with modern vinification techniques, it never ceases to amaze us how many anonymous, acidic and overpriced poor quality wines are still passed off as House wines. Caveat Emptor - BUYERS BEWARE!!!

'It is of far more importance to select your wine merchant than to select your wine, for a merchant with a reputation to lose will never give you bad advice'

The dawn of a new-look website

logo The Castang Wines website has gone though 4 design changes since its inception in May 1999. We hope you like our new look website which was uploaded on 16th Jan 2009. We are indebted to Denise Mitchinson for the website template, and to Avallach Technology in Australia for hosting the site.

Due to hostile exchange rates early in 2009 it was necessary to print and interim pricelist in January. We are pleased that the new winelist uploaded in August 2009 features a number of price reductions.
