Customer Reviews
In a world of not knowing what might be real and original, we are honoured to share these authentic testimonials from some of our valued customers.
Monty's Wine Emporium is run by Drew and Tim Montague, father and son, who choose and taste every bottle. These are the words of the people who buy them: our wall of love.
"There is an outstanding palate at work selecting the wines for Monty's Wine Emporium - all the wines I have tasted have been top-notch examples of their kind. Their real strength is finding wines that significantly outperform their price, at all levels. Service and customer care are as good as it gets, I thoroughly recommend them."

"We’ve been ordering from Monty’s for a few years now, and the thing that keeps us coming back is how much they actually care about what they send you. They get to know your taste, but the real magic is when they nudge you toward something you’d never pick yourself. There’s always a new region you’ve never heard of or a grape you can’t spell hiding in the delivery. Nine times out of ten it’s the best bottle in the box. Our Christmas order has turned into a whole family thing, everyone tasting and comparing notes. Couldn’t recommend them more. Cheers."

"I have enjoyed many a glass of wine with Drew and his knowledge of wine is formidable as is his reputation and honesty."

"I've been buying my wine from Monty's for years, and it's so much more than just a wine shop. Drew and Tim genuinely care about their customers and always take the time to recommend wines that perfectly suit the occasion and my tastes. Their knowledge, honesty and personal service are second to none. In a world where so much has become impersonal, Monty's makes you feel like a valued friend rather than just a customer. It's a business built on trust, passion and kindness, and I couldn't recommend them more highly."

"Drew at Monty's Wine Emporium consistently provides exceptional service. His advice is always excellent and genuinely invaluable, helping us make the right choices every time. Orders are carefully packaged, arrive promptly, and the level of care and attention throughout the process is second to none. Highly recommended for anyone looking for expert guidance and outstanding customer service."
Tom

"I loved using Monty's Wine Emporium as I knew a few wines I liked and needed something special for a gift. They found a wonderful South African Merlot for my gift. Tim and Drew then took some of my go to wines to find new ones that I absolutely love. I would never hesitate to recommend them."
James

"Having been a customer at Monty's Wine Emporium for more than four years, it has been an honour to be looked after by them. They have built cellars for my children and looked after me beautifully. Their attention to detail is exceptional."

"Monty's offers quite a niche in the wine world: really characterful wines, good price range and proper family run service."
Geoff

"Absolutely love my experiences with Monty’s Wine Emporium! I’ve ordered from quite a few online wine merchants over the years, but this one genuinely stands out. As a father-and-son business, Drew and Tim Montague, you can feel the personal touch in everything they do.
I ordered a mixed case after asking for recommendations for a dinner party and a few everyday drinkers. Tim replied quickly with thoughtful suggestions that matched exactly what I was looking for (nothing too stuffy or overpriced, and all with corks, my obsession). The wines arrived the next day, beautifully packed in recyclable materials, and every bottle was in perfect condition.
The selection is curated rather than overwhelming, which I really appreciate. You get quality over quantity, and the value is excellent. I’ve already recommended them to many friends, and I’ll definitely be back for the next wine tasting occasion at London Concours, they have done two for me now.
If you’re after expert advice, lovely wines, and proper customer care from people who clearly love what they do, Monty’s Wine Emporium is a winner. Highly recommended!"

"I’ve been a customer of Monty's Wine Emporium for several years, and what keeps me coming back is the personal service. Drew has an incredible knowledge of wine but, more importantly, he takes the time to understand what you’re looking for and always seems to recommend the perfect bottle, whether it’s for a quiet evening, entertaining friends or a special occasion. For me, Monty's is about much more than buying wine. It’s about trust, friendship and knowing you’ll always receive honest advice and exceptional service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Drew and Monty's Wine Emporium."
Pat

"I have no hesitation in recommending them as our go to for any corporate or private event, offering expert advice on selected and curated recommendations for any occasion you wish to plan. Drew and Tim provide the bubbles and smiles!"
Angie

"I have known Drew and Tim for some years now, and as a first-time investor and purchaser of fine wine, I have found the whole experience both educational and interesting. Drew's knowledge and passion for his trade really shines through without me feeling uncomfortable as a beginner in this sector. I look forward to dealing with Drew and Tim for many years to come."
Simon
Liverpool
"I reached out to Drew after having been so disappointed with a mass market wine delivery brand. Drew took time to personally select wine from his selection to match my taste and budget, which was an amazing service to start with. I really enjoyed the wines, the quality was really good with rich and characterful wines and Drew took time to check in with me to ask if I enjoyed them - so overall it really felt like a difference experience to my previous online deliveries! Can’t wait to order again!"
Fanny

"I have been dealing with Monty's for many years and found them to be very professional with all my dealings with them now and over the many years I have been buying from them. I have had the most amazing wines from Monty's Wine Emporium, with the best advice on my wine requirements and taste."
Richard
Drayton Bassett
"I wanted a particular wine (Printers Ink Pinotage by Meinert from South Africa), and I did an internet search, which showed Monty’s sold this. I emailed them, and Tim quickly responded that he would be in touch when some arrived, which he did and gave me a new customer discount. GOOD service."
Mel
Maidstone
"I have been buying wine for drinking and investment from Drew and Tim for the last 2 or 3 years. I struggle to use anyone else because the level of service and quality of wine is so good. I'm happy to let Drew choose wines for any manner of occasion I encounter and he has always delivered fantastic wines. Speaking of delivery the next day delivery service is superb. I have nothing but high praise for Monty's Wine Emporium and I'm quick to recommend them at any opportunity."
Henry
Bromley
"I met Drew & Tim at an event they were supplying the wine for - both "normal" guys who I felt understood my lack of understanding about wine. Monty's Wine Emporium supplied the wine for my and my wife's 40th birthdays and went the extra mile to secure me a rare case of 1985 port. Tim also sourced a rare Nebuchadnezzar bottle for me to gift to my best friend for his 40th. Honest, thoughtful and always willing to help: sums these two up perfectly!"
Chris
Oxford
"When it comes to fine wine choices, I tend to leave that up to Drew. Describe your palate and preferences, and let the fun begin. Stunning choices with a few surprises. Fine quality with layered complexity is now an expectation. Reliable service and a friendly, knowledgeable team."
Stephen

"Monty's Wine Emporium offer excellent service and a fabulous selection of wines. Drew and Tim offer expert advice and can cater for and advise on wines at every level. I have no hesitation in recommending them."
