CAMPAIGN FOR REAL WINE LIMITED

ABOUT CAMPAIGN FOR REAL WINE LIMITED

The aim of the shop is to offer an alternative to the tide of mass-produced wine and to champion individual producers making wine with a passion.

David took a year out to do an MBA (which he gained with a distinction again – the big swot) before joining Greenall’s off licence division just before the management buy-out and the formation of Parisa Group. He managed the marketing of their 600 shops for a few years before establishing business consultants Thornton Perry Associates, where he first registered the Campaign for Real Wine Ltd. This was all very well, but was moving too far away from his two great passions; Wine and Dorset. In late 2008, when the younger of his daughters turned 18 and went off to university, he packed his bags, moved back south, bought the shop in Shaftesbury and is now happily back where he started in the wine trade well over 30 years ago.

Alice graduated from The University of Birmingham with a first-class degree in Philosophy and was awarded a prestigious studentship for her postgraduate research. However, she soon realised career academia isn’t as much fun as it sounds and instead made the wise decision to move to sunny South Wiltshire. She honed her knowledge of real ale with Keystone Brewery before joining David in the shop on a permanent basis in 2011.

If you’re making a special journey for a particular bottle, please do give us a quick call and check that we haven’t accidentally sold it!

Similarly, we have some exciting new products which we haven’t quite got round to listing yet – please bear with us and we’ll try and get it all shipshape again soon.

This site contains images of alcohol and tobacco products. If you are under 18 you should not be looking at it.
