Naked Wines plc operates an online wine retail platform that connects a global community of wine enthusiasts, known as “Angels,” with independent winemakers. Through a subscription-based model, customers fund winemakers directly, enabling producers to craft unique, small-batch wines at competitive prices. The company markets its offerings via a digital storefront, providing subscribers with curated selections, exclusive early access to new releases and personalized recommendations based on tasting preferences.
Founded in 2008 by industry entrepreneur Rowan Gormley, Naked Wines has grown its footprint across key markets in the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia. The platform leverages data analytics to forecast demand, manage inventory and support winemakers in scaling their operations. By removing traditional retail markups, the company aims to deliver high-quality wines at value-driven price points while fostering long-term partnerships with producers.
In 2018, Naked Wines was acquired by Majestic Wine plc, a move that consolidated complementary retail and direct-to-consumer channels under a unified group structure. Following the acquisition, the combined entity continued to operate the Naked Wines brand, benefiting from expanded sourcing capabilities and shared operational resources. The company’s listing on the OTC Markets under the ticker MJWNF provides U.S. investors with access to its growth story and subscription-driven revenue model.
Headquartered in Norwich, England, with additional offices in California and Melbourne, Naked Wines is led by a management team experienced in wine retail, e-commerce and supply chain optimization. The company’s global strategy focuses on deepening customer engagement, expanding its subscriber base and supporting a community of winemakers to bring innovative, high-quality wines to market.
