 Two
Scots, based in the Cotswolds, selling Portuguese
wines - this was not the basis of an obvious
business plan by any means!
We already loved Port and Moscatel and Madeira
and the other dessert wines and when we started
taking holidays in Portugal we could not help
but notice that the wine shops there offer a
much better range of Port styles and shippers
than we get in our local supermarket, or even
independent wine merchant. We thought it might
be a bit like the French keeping the good wines
for themselves...
Then in 2004 we moved to the Cotswolds and
came over all inspired by the area's outstanding
natural beauty, the superb local meat and cheese
and, above all, by the local's passion for freshness,
quality and diversity in their food - demonstrated
by the areas' abundance of delicatessens, cheese
shops and restaurants.
The only thing that was missing was a source
of the kind of Port and dessert wines that turn
great meals into fantastic occasions - so we
thought we had better do it ourselves. The
Cotswold Port Co. was born.
Even as a small company we have a mission statement
"to offer people a choice of fine wines
they just can't get anywhere else and make getting
a box from us feel like your birthday".
Oh, and on top of that, deliver it on time,
at a reasonable price and make it easy and enjoyable
for people to buy from us.
We really hope you enjoy browsing our site
and hopefully we have something that might tickle
your fancy - we are always interested in hearing
how we might improve our business so why not
drop us a line with any comments at graeme@cotswoldport.co.uk
We have some of our favourite Cotswold images
below, taken by Jo, that hopefully give you
a flavour for the countryside round here. So
why not come and visit places like Moreton in
Marsh, Stow on the Wold, Lower Slaughter, Bourton
on the Water?
