About Us
Who we are?
K and L Wines is a truly family run business established in 2007 by Gavin Murphy to help smaller specialist new world wineries bring their wines to the market in the United Kingdom. K and L Wines now carries and markets a select portfolio of more than 500 wines on the basis that, there are many “nice wines” available to us in the UK via the large grocery and wine superstores, but those really fantastic wines are less available and need true wine enthusiasts like us and our team at K and L Wines to seek out and make them available.
Although it is not possible to guarantee that you will enjoy every bottle we stock, we are confident that every bottle will be thoroughly enjoyed but more than 90% of wine lovers in the UK.
So, please don’t hesitate to call me and discuss your wine likes and dislikes and hopefully we can guide you in your choice.

Looking forward to being of service.

Bringing the world’s most amazing wines to the UK
We aim to bring choice and enjoyment to the wine-loving public, who are yearning for something a little different. As we celebrate the art of fine wine, we’re proud to source our delicious wines direct from the artisan wineries, both locally and abroad, then offer them to our retail and trade customers alike.
We offer extraordinary white and red wine cases with easy UK delivery, as well as unique varietals, special blends, and sparkling wines for those with sophisticated tastes — all shipped right to your doorstep. Enjoy our stunning collection of delightful wines online, from crowd-pleasing favourites to unusual blends perfect for collectors. With K and L Wines Online, you’ll be able to find premium wines for a good price, as well as the perfect gifts for the wine lovers in your life!
And, because K and L Wines and Spirits UK is a direct importer, you can rest assured you’re getting the best possible prices for our online wines, many of which cannot be found at your local wine and liquor store.
Collaboration with wineries
K and L Wines’ integrated platform allows our partner wineries the opportunity to share in our online wine success. We aim to bring together South Africa’s, Argentina’s, and America’s finest wines in one eCommerce store, while allowing our partner wineries to decide how they’d like their wines to be marketed to a UK audience.
We at K and L Wines recognise that behind every bottle of wine are people with aspirations for themselves and their families: To create something extraordinary. To contribute to the world’s pleasure with exceptional craftsmanship. To constantly create ever-more delightful and creative wines. This philosophy is the bedrock of our sustainable, appreciative approach to wine. It underpins all the core values that drive our business, as well as our sister company Consolidated Wines Ltd.
Our values
Honesty
K&L Wines Online is committed to transparent pricing and descriptions of our wines, which are sourced from South Africa, America and Argentina. Our partner wineries ship their wines directly to us and trust us to market them authentically and fairly.
Integrity
At K&L Wines Online, we focus on wines that are created at the highest standards. This ensures we both honour the craftsmanship of our partner wineries and meet the refined tastes of our sophisticated customers.
Hard work
K&L Wines Online is the descendant of a South African company founded in 1999. For more than 20 years, the company has built collaborations with wineries to create a definitive source of unique wines. The current brand is the result of our dedication to empowering our partner wineries.
Fairness
We believe that our partner wineries deserve to have a say in how their wines are marketed and sold on our website. Also, as a direct importer of our products, customers can rest assured they are getting the best prices on our delightful products.
Sustainability
K&L Wines Online is committed to eco-friendly practices. We use only recycled or recyclable packaging and stationery, and we have reduced our paper usage by 75% through fully integrated workflow systems. Thanks to our extensive use of self-generated solar energy, our building is nearly 100% self-sufficient in its electricity needs.
Every day, we too need to be better than yesterday. – Gavin Murphy, Owner
Our history
For more than 15 years, K and L Wines and Spirits have been providing the discerning wine-buying public with boutique wines made to the highest standard. We specialise in South African, Argentine and American wines, all sold directly from our partner wineries that are carefully selected for their exceptional craft.

K and L Wines and Spirits UK Ltd – Importers and distributors of great and award-winning wines
K and L Wines and Spirits South Africa was established in 1999 by liquor marketing icon BJ Lankwarden and his business partner Hans Kollmorgen, the orginal K and L, and traded successfully in South Africa for a number of years. In 2002, the company was bought by a small consortium, which spearheaded significant growth in the South African market.
K and L Wines and Spirits UK was then established to supply the UK market with our balanced portfolio of exceptional wines.
"K and L Wines and Spirits' vision is to bring choice and enjoyment to the wine-loving public who are yearning for something a little different." – BJ Lankwarde
