Italian Cooking Wine

Founded in 1998, Gourmet Classic began their journey by supplying chefs with quality cooking wines. They’ve grown since and now have the largest selection of cooking wines for sale in the UK, supplying wholesalers with around 100,000 litres of cooking wine per week. As well as their selection of Italian, Spanish & French cooking wines, they also supply fortified wines (Port, Madeira, Marsala & Sherry), Cooking Spirits, IPA, Cooking Cider and Cooking Mulled Wine.

They continue to develop new quality products and as part of their growth strategy to ensure ultimate control of their production processes, they’ve built their own food processing plant in 2015 in Ringwood, Hampshire.

Quality Cooking Wine 

We’re excited to be working with Gourmet Classic to supply their quality Italian Red and White 4.8% Vol. Cooking Wines.

Both wines are lightly seasoned with salt and are blended with de-alcoholised wine from concentrate. They are both vegan, gluten-free and lactose free.
