You can trust us to safely deliver deliciously satisfying, certified organic wines and drinks to your door, at fair prices. We run an ethical business, believe in our products and look after our customers. Organic is not a ‘fad’ or sideline for us, we’ve been 100% organic since we formed, back in 1986. We’ve also been fortunate to receive some good recognition and awards over the years, including a Best Organic Initiative Green Award and Green Retailer of the Year from the Drinks Business, as well as a Decanter award for the Best Independent Wine Merchant. In 2024 we also became B Corp Certified.

Vintage Roots was founded by Neil Palmer and Lance Pigott in 1986, and they still run and work closely in the business. Our wider team includes the wine buying team, customer support and office staff, along with the warehouse team, drivers and pickers (we pick and pack all orders ourselves), as well as a small sales team covering much of the UK.

Many agree that organic wines are the more eco conscious choice for many reasons. Organic wine is made using only organically certified grapes, grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and chemical fertilisers. Not only is this better for the environment, but also for vineyard workers and our health too. Since the 2012 vintage, winemaking regulations mean the whole process is certified from harvest to bottle and the term ‘organic wine’ can be displayed on bottles.

The benefits can be numerous! Taste for a start: organic grapes are healthy and balanced and are of course the starting point for any great wine. Health benefits include ingesting less man-made toxins, especially pesticide residues and less sulphur dioxide too, which is the ‘wine preservative’. By drinking organic you are also supporting a cleaner environment and helping to protect our soils, waterways and vineyard workers too.
