Tanners Wines is an independent, family-owned wine merchant based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, with a history spanning four generations. Founded by William Tanner, the business has grown from its original cellars beneath Shrewsbury's Victorian Market Hall into a nationally respected merchant with shops across the Welsh Marches and beyond. Whether you are stocking a cellar, searching for a special gift, or simply looking for a reliable everyday bottle, Tanners combines deep expertise with a wide-ranging selection to suit every palate and budget.
Tanners' roots stretch back to the company's earliest days under William Tanner, a sea captain whose voyages gave him access to wines from across the globe — a tradition still reflected in the company's ship's decanter logo. Today, with over 100 staff and a head office in Wyle Cop, Shrewsbury — parts of which date to the 1490s and are Grade II listed — the business retains a strong local character while sourcing wines from wine regions worldwide. The Shrewsbury shop has been cited by Country Life magazine as one of the ten most charming shops in Britain.
The Tanners catalogue covers a broad and carefully chosen range of wines and drinks:
One of Tanners' strengths has always been informed, personal advice. The team can help match a wine to a specific meal, occasion, or budget, removing the guesswork from an often overwhelming category. The catalogue also features regular offers on everyday favourites, meaning quality wine does not have to mean high expenditure on every bottle.
