Cellar Circle Membership

We’ve been helping the best people enjoy the best wines since 1854. During that time, we’ve found that the more rewarding way to build a cellar is by getting to know exactly what sort of wines each of our customers most enjoy. So we introduced Cellar Circle.

Cellar Circle allows us to get to know your tastes and interests, and help us to build the right wine portfolio for you. Members work with a personal advisor to buy, store, sell and drink fine wine, with various special benefits – including the best storage rates and access to limited parcels – offered on top.

We invite you to join us.

What is Cellar Circle?

Membership starts from £100 a month, all of which goes to building your wine portfolio. You can spend it as you wish, and there are no hidden fees.

Unique events and experiences

Browsing for and buying wine is great – but there’s nothing better than actually tasting the stuff. Especially when you can do so while hearing from the people who made them. We host a regular series of tastings and dinners with our producers, giving members the chance to learn more about your favourite wines and to meet the winemakers behind them, as well as chatting with our own buyers and Master of Wine, and mixing with fellow wine lovers.

Fine Wine Guides

At Lay & Wheeler we are passionate about wine and if you have decided that now is the time to start building your very own wine collection then we’d love to help you.

Between us we have a pretty unbeatable knowledge about wine that has come from decades of learning, tasting and listening. With Cellar Circle membership, you'll have access to a Fine Wine Advisor, who will be able to give you all the bespoke guidance you need. 

And we've also put together a selection of brief guides for budding wine collectors and those of you just interested in learning more about wine.

Wine investment and storage

Provenance – the term commonly used to describe where a wine has come from and how and where it has been stored – is king in the world of wine. It is a form of guarantee, or at least an indication, of how the wines have been shipped and stored – and crucially, their condition. As a member of our Cellar Circle, you can be assured that the utmost attention is paid to how each bottle is shipped, received and stored to ensure perfect provenance, whereby you’re in control.

Buying in bond means the wine is stored in a bonded warehouse and no duty or VAT has been paid—ideal for storage or resale. <br>Duty paid means taxes are included and the wine is ready for home delivery and drinking.

Cellar Circle - How does it work?

  • I've just joined - what happens next?

    Once you are a member of the Cellar Circle, your personal wine consultant will contact you to talk with you about your wine preferences and the aims and goals that you have for your wine collection. They will then keep you informed of relevant offers and wines that they feel you would appreciate. If you specifically ask, they will even make purchases on your behalf.

  • How do I buy wine?

    You can buy wine from any Lay & Wheeler and Cellar Circle offers online, by mailer, speak to your personally assigned fine wine consultant, or email us.

“My Cellar Circle wine advisor is honing in on my wine interests and is increasingly suggesting particular wines that she feels I would be interested in. Her recommendations are excellent and feel very personalised. We have a great rapport online and she provides a first class service .”
