About us
Wines of the World – a brief history to date: Anthony Jones showed an interest in wine from a very early age when, age 8, he stole his dad’s home winemaking kit and secretly made a batch of wine from apples and elderberries. He hid the fruits of his labour in a Corona Lemonade bottle at the back of the pantry but his illicit stash was discovered by his mother and poured down the sink before he even got to taste it! Despite this early setback, he later rediscovered his passion for wine and joined the wine trade working first for Majestic and then Oddbins. In early 2005 Anthony joined forces with ‘high flyer’ Jason Bellis (well, he is a former pilot!) and launched www.winesoftheworld.co.uk on the internet. In August 2005, they opened their first retail outlet in Earlsfield, near Wimbledon. ![]() Alex Roberts and Wayne Blomfield are running our store in Clapham Old Town. Alex has a long history in wine, first running wine bars, before joining Oddbins and managing several South London stores. Wayne’s passion for wine started in his ‘previous life’ over a leisurely City lunch (or two!) and continued with a five year stint as Fine Wine Manager, also at Oddbins. Both Alex and Wayne are holders of the WSET Diploma in Wine and Spirits. Thirsty for more wine knowledge? If you would like to improve your wine knowledge we offer Introductory Wine Courses.
