We’re delighted to have climbed from 29th in 2025 to 21st in 2026 in the Harpers Top 50 Drinks Wholesalers!

As an independent, family-owned business serving wine to hospitality, with a history dating back to 1822, we’re proud to combine our rich heritage with a forward-thinking approach. From our carefully curated portfolio of over 1,500 products to continued investment in our team, service and sustainability, we’re always looking for ways to do more for our customers and producers. Being a B Corp reflects our ongoing commitment to doing business responsibly, and this recognition from Harpers is a fantastic milestone for the whole Ellis Wines team.

Here’s what Harpers had to say about us: 

“This independent, family-owned on-trade focused business has served the south of England since 1822, with the depth and breadth of its portfolio at the heart of its success. Increasingly aligning with producers that sit well with Ellis’s sustainable credentials, the 1,500-strong portfolio nonetheless is constantly updated to sit with consumer trends. Investment is much in evidence here too, with an expanded sales team and boosted operational infrastructure further honing the services delivered. B Corp accreditation is simply crowning all that this wholesaler sets out to achieve.”

A huge thank you to our team, customers and suppliers for being part of our journey. Here’s to continuous improvement, and moving up closer to that number one spot next year!
