Our Story
A Cellar Built on Provenance
Cult Wines International is a small, family-owned house on the southwest Florida coast. What began as a shared passion for wine became a lifelong pursuit of the rare, the allocated and the collectible. For over fifteen years, we have offered discerning buyers access to bottles most wine merchants never see.
Why We Began
As collectors ourselves, we grew weary of the shortcomings of buying fine wine online: stock photographs in place of the actual bottle, inventory that did not exist, brokers who quietly substituted vintages, slow dispatch, and summer shipments sent with no protection from the heat.
We founded Cult Wines International to do it properly, devoted exclusively to the world’s finest and rarest wines, and to the standards that collectors of such wines deserve.
Our Five Commitments
The Bottle You See Is the Bottle You Receive
Every wine is photographed in our cellar. You receive that exact bottle, or one identical in condition when several are listed. This matters most of all for wines of thirty years or more.
Vintage Matters
We never substitute vintages. The vintage you order is the vintage that arrives at your door.
Prompt, Careful Dispatch
Orders ship promptly, packed in materials designed specifically for wine, so your bottles arrive as they left our cellar.
Impeccable Storage
Every bottle rests on its side, in darkness and stillness, in a cool, climate-controlled cellar kept within the range recommended for long-term aging, until the day it ships.
Personal Service
Whether you are a seasoned collector or choosing your first great bottle, we welcome your questions and answer them promptly and personally.
An Online Boutique
By Design, Not by Chance
We operate exclusively online and maintain no storefront; our cellar is not open to the public. Our address is for correspondence and shipments only. Local clients may simply choose “Local Pickup” at checkout, and we will arrange a convenient time.

Have Bottles to Part With?
We are always seeking exceptional bottles for our private collection and tastings. Whether a cellar built over decades or a few special bottles, we make it simple. Terms are always agreed before anything ships.
