Yes! What is key to understand is that label imperfections or there only being a few bottles remaining will not affect the quality of the wine in the bottle – meaning bin-ends are an opportunity to source excellent wines at a great price.

Bin-end sales from a reputable supplier, really are the best way to enjoy top deals on fantastic wine!

The ‘bin’ is the name given to the place in which the wine is stored, which will usually have numbers along the line, making it easy to find them – and easy to keep track of what’s in stock.

Bin-ends is the name given to the last few bottles of a line. Maybe there’s not enough to fill a whole case or a whole order, but the wine itself is still in premium condition.

Sometimes, as above, it might include wines whose labels have been slightly scratched or scuffed, but again, this will have no impact on the wine in the bottle.

Another reason why we might select a wine for our bin-ends is that the winegrower has decided to change the label. This happens far more often that most people realise. In the interests of continuity, we must sell any stock remaining with the old label so we can move onto the new. This year we have had label changes for many of our bestselling wines, including our bestselling Prosecco, and it can be tricky to navigate!

Wines change vintage every year - in other words, the year in which the grapes were harvested. In the Spring, we start to receive all the new vintages from the previous year's harvest, which means we need to sell any remaining bottles of the same wine from an earlier vintage in order to make way for the new stock. This can be most relevant in younger wines - which still many months drinking time, but it can also be true of older vintages as there is only so much space in the cellar! Many people focus on the more expensive wines in these sales as they know they will increase in value as they age.
