Today in just over a decade we have built a community of over 947,000 members (who we call angels)...and connected them directly to over 225 of the world's best winemakers.Our community generates over $300m a year in subscription payments which enable us to support small and independent producers, and our platform solves their sales, marketing and distribution challenges. In return our members enjoy great wine, made exclusively for them and a direct connection to the winemakers behind the label.Best of all? By removing frictional costs and generating scale for talented small producers we are able to help our members drink better for much less than the big brand alternatives.But we are just getting started. If you think you can play a role in changing the face of the wine industry get in touch! Show less

The naked model harnesses the support of our customers (we call them angels) to fund talented independent winemakers to make wines they love, and as a result we are able to sell directly to our angels at wholesale prices. Our winemakers don't have to time and spend money on tasting rooms, sales teams and distributor relationships. They can focus on what they do best - making great wine! That means our angels can drink better wine for less with the unique benefit of a direct relationship to the winemaker!I run our nakedwines.com - connecting over 60 independent winemakers making exclusive wines with over 115,000 angels.
