Our Story

Our Story

Benchmark Drinks ambition is to be the leading branded UK wine and spirit company! We work in partnerships with our customers and supply partners alike, to deliver compelling, relevant brands.

Our team’s mission is to ensure our brands set a benchmark within the market for quality, innovation and “lifestyle fit” for our consumers.

We challenge ourselves every day to interpret customer needs, identify trends early and recognise style profiles that are desirable to our target audience. Continually “benchmarking” our brands against the competitive set is within our DNA, so much so it ultimately became our company name.

Culturally we believe in collaborative relationships with both customers and supply partners alike. Transparent communication with an understanding of what each other needs to achieve is key.

The team represents a deliberate balance of corporate experience and entrepreneurial enthusiasm. This positive friction sets the business on a course for strong growth and innovation, underpinned by reliable business fundamentals

“What a thrill to be celebrating our 5th anniversary with this exquisite Côtes de Provence bottle!

Thank you to our incredible growers, wine makers, distributors and partners who are all such a big part of the Kylie Minogue Wines success story. And of course to everyone who has chosen to enjoy a sip, glass or bottle of our wine. Joyeux Anniversaire!”

Gordon Ramsay and Alberto Antonini are a match made in heaven; they each strive to create top quality products in their own fields and together they’ve blended a beautiful collection of wines. We’re delighted to have partnered with them.

It was a huge pleasure to collaborate on this project with Alberto Antonini, one of Italy’s greatest winemakers. I'm very proud of what we’ve created and hope food and wine lovers across the UK love it as much as I do.
