wine merchant

Deals in vintages

A wine merchant is a person or business that sells wine, typically specializing in curated selections rather than mass-market offerings.

The term suggests expertise and a focus on quality: The wine merchant recommended a Burgundy to pair with the lamb.

Wine merchants may operate retail shops, import from vineyards, or sell to restaurants and collectors.
