The retailer will sell high-quality wines, beers, spirits and low-abv beverages at ‘competitive prices’
A new online retailer billing itself as a more “sustainable” and “inclusive” online drinks marketplace has launched.
Called Hometipple.com, it said it would sell high-quality wines, beers, spirits and low-abv beverages at competitive prices by cutting out wholesalers from the process.
By removing wholesale involvement it would give suppliers a “fair deal”, it said. Instead of using a wholesaler it would take “a small commission from each sale, pay the tax and provide a greater margin for the producers”.
It was founded by a trio of drinks industry veterans: consultant and former senior buyer at Winebuyers Mikey Studer; Nick Jones, formerly Winebuyers head buyer; and Caroline Palma de Azevedo, formerly of Newcomer Wines in Dalston, London.
