About MW² Wines

This may be a new site but with over 20 years experience of buying and selling wines I know plenty of vineyards, winemakers and wines that you are going to love!

I’ve also been a Master of Wine for over 15 years now – one of only 260 in the world. And I have the opportunity to maintain my ability to appreciate the finer subtleties of clean, well-made wines, by continually tasting and comparing notes with colleagues. Yes, I know it’s a great job – I love wine and sharing it with like minded friends!

While my tasting skills were honed preparing for the Master of Wine exam, my commercial training has been largely with established blue chip companies. For several years I worked as a wine buyer… Firstly, for Victoria wine – remember them? Then Tesco – you can’t avoid them! And latterly, I worked for the Rothschilds at Waddesdon Manor in Buckinghamshire.

It has always been a good time to be a wine buyer. It is a dynamic industry where new vineyards, new regions and even new wine producing countries are always emerging. Even if nothing changed, there would still be a new vintage every year to get to know.

Selling wine, however, is much more difficult as the large retail chains dominate the market.

Happily though, there are plenty of smaller vineyards around the world making interesting wines with bags of character that you’ll simply never see on supermarket shelves because of logistics. These provide fantastic opportunities for both the independent merchant – and the independent-minded wine drinker.

Recognising these opportunities, I decided to set up my own company, develop a wine list of my own – and share my expertise more widely, by selling wine online.

So the wines you’ll find on this site are wines I love, think are good value, and am absolutely confident in offering to you. I genuinely enjoy every single wine listed here and I hope you will too.

By the way: Marcia Waters + Master of Wine = MW² I’m sure you worked that out already!
