Welcome to Wine Republic
At Wine Republic, we’re all about discovering and sharing brilliant wines with great stories. As an independent wine merchant, we focus on high-quality, characterful wines from the world’s most exciting artisan producers, especially those small, family-run estates where passion, tradition, and authenticity shine through in every sip.
Our love for wine goes beyond the bottle. Based in the charming village of Rhiwbina, just outside Cardiff, our shop and cosy wine bar are a haven for enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. Whether you’re popping in for a bottle, enjoying a glass from our rotating list of 25 wines by the glass, or grazing on cheese and charcuterie, you’ll find a warm welcome here. We also host monthly tastings and events to bring our community of wine lovers together.
With over 25 years of experience, our range is handpicked from winemakers who farm sustainably and produce in small quantities, wines you won’t find in the supermarket or on the high street. Each bottle tells a story: where it’s from, who made it, and how it was crafted. We’re proud to share those stories with you.

Our shop is open five days a week, and our full range is available online with next-day delivery across the UK. Lucky enough to live within five miles of the shop? You get free delivery!

And because we love giving back, our loyalty program rewards you with 5% of your spend in points to use toward more wine, both online and in-store. At the wine bar, collect stamps and earn free glasses because we think loyalty should be delicious.
Friday Happy Hour & Free Tastings
Kick off your weekend with our Friday Happy Hour, 5–8 pm, with 25% off all wines by the glass. Or swing by any Saturday for our free drop-in wine tastings – a great way to try before you buy.
Above all, we believe wine should be fun, approachable, and full of discovery. We’re always here to help with advice, recommendations, or a chat about your next favourite bottle.
Cheers,
The Wine Republic Team
