Majestic Wines and Spirits

Majestic Wines and Spirits

Majestic began trading in 1981 with one store in North London, but during the 1980s the business was bought and sold on several times, gradually turning into a small chain of around 30 stores. In 1991 the current management team took over Majestic and began a programme of developing and expanding the business. Their efforts were extremely successful and now there are nearly 150 stores throughout the United Kingdom plus three stores in the channel ports of France. These French Stores operate a "booze cruise" business and it is possible for customers to place their orders before travelling, thereby taking advantage of both the Majestic Range as well as the low duty rates in France. The current Chief Executive Officer of the company Tim How led the way to Majestic becoming a public company in 1996, and shares were floated on the Alternative Investment Market. The registered address of Majestic Wine Warehouses Ltd is Majestic House, Otterspool Way, Watford, Herts WD25 8WW, telephone no 01923 298 200.

Majestic.co.uk began trading in April 2000 and as all orders are passed to the customer's local store, where they are processed and delivered free of charge, the company offer both the benefits of internet shopping together with the customer service obtained locally. By 2007, online sales had reached around £15 million per year making Majestic's online service one of the busiest wine sites on the internet.

The staff at Majestic are all highly trained and are only too pleased to share their knowledge with customers. It is very easy to get in touch with them via the "contact us" page of their website, email address "info@majestic.co.uk" or by telephone on 0845 605 6767.

The product range offered by Majestic is excellent as not only do they supply a good selection of wine, but it is also possible to purchase beer, spirits and soft drinks. Their minimum order is for 12 bottles of wine and they are prepared to supply a mix of different wines; not just 12 bottles of a single wine. In 2003, the first temperature controlled warehouse solely for fine wines was opened and there are now 40 air-conditioned stores, although the majority of fine wine is still located in the original London store and is despatched to the local store for onward delivery to the customer. They offer many different types of both red and white wine from all over the world; from chardonnay to beaujolais - the choice is endless. The quality of the wine available is also vast from a relatively cheap table wine to a really superior type of wine.

However, they also operate a gift shop where you are able to purchase a single bottle as a present. Majestic also specialise in large events, that is weddings or parties, and offer a free glass loan service as well as being able to supply you on a sale or return basis, you only pay for what you drink! Details of this service are available either on line or at a local store.

The company also has a dedicated business department, dealing with both large and small businesses, from supplying wines for luncheons and dinners to corporate gifts. Business customers, and those of us who enjoy wine on a regular basis, can open a credit account with Majestic, subject to the usual credit reference checks, settling the bills on a monthly basis.

Ordering from Majestic.co.uk is very simple, just follow the explicit instructions on the web, or if you prefer, pop into a store where you can order, pay and collect all at the same time. Initially, Majestic will request your full details, name, address, etc. and payment can be made by all the usual credit/debit cards without any additional costs for delivery! Majestic's terms and conditions are available on their website.

Majestic are very keen to allow their customers to try new and different wines so they regularly hold wine tasting events where it is possible to sample wine free of charge at one of their stores. Their website is very informative and online customers are kept up-to-date with every aspect of the wine trade. Majestic also have a newsletter advising customers of the current top offers as well as advising of new wines - sign up for the newsletter on a regular basis and you could win £100.00 worth of wine.

Customers find the service offered by Majestic second to none; their ongoing expansion speaks for itself as do their amazing sales figures for the online company alone. The quality of their products, no delivery charges and the range of associated facilities offered make Majestic a very efficient place to order all your wines and spirits.
