Congratulations to Matthew Downing - 2010 Taste of the West ‘South West Chef of the Year’
Christopher Piper Wines
Christopher Piper Wines was established in 1979 by Chris Piper (Chairman) after working as a wine-maker in Beaujolais.
In 1980 he was joined by his old friend John Earle (Managing Director) and the business was incorporated. From those early days when the two friends did virtually everything, from wine buying to selling, packing and delivering, the company has grown to become one of the West of England's best known independent wine merchants.
The philosophy with which Chris Piper and John Earle started their business is still enshrined in the company's ethic: top quality products backed by top quality service. Although their principal business is the supply of top quality wine to independent hotels, restaurants and pubs throughout the South of England they have an ever-increasing number of private customers. Chris still manages to make wine in Brouilly every year at Chateau du Pavé, affectionately known as the Chairman's plonk!
CPW are able to supply a complete solution to trade customers including but not confined to the production of fully updateable wine lists in monochrome or colour, regular weekly deliveries, supplier supported in-house functions, staff wine appreciation and training sessions, sale or return for specific functions together with glass loan.
