About The Wine List NZ

New Zealand's trusted destination for restaurant-quality wines with personal service. Makes hosting effortless.

Our Story Born during the first lockdown in 2020, The Wine List connects wine lovers with restaurant-quality wines at home. We learned vital lessons about togetherness, time with friends and family, and building shared memories around the table.

Our Approach We source wines the same way restaurants do - guided by professional reviews, customer reorder statistics, and what top New Zealand restaurants feature on their lists. Every wine earns its place through careful curation, not overwhelming choice.

Why Boxes, Not Bottles We sell wine by the box (6 bottles) because in our experience as hosts, you usually need more than one bottle of something good. This approach allows us to deliver fair pricing, better than single-bottle purchases.
