Welcome to Our New Website!

22 Apr 2025
After seven years of proudly serving our local communities in Summertown and Wallingford, we’re thrilled to introduce our brand-new website – a project that’s been a long time in the making.

We’ve deliberately taken our time launching this site because we knew one thing from the start: we didn’t just want an online shop. We wanted to build something that truly reflects what Grape Minds is all about – passionate, personal, independent service combined with a carefully curated selection of outstanding wines, spirits and beers.

We’re a small team with a big love of wine, and we’ve built strong relationships with our customers by focusing on quality, honesty, and a genuine desire to help you discover something you’ll love – whether it’s a bold red from Tuscany, a crisp local pale ale, or a perfectly aged single malt.
This website is an extension of that ethos. Designed with care by Nick Wilkins Website Design Ltd, it gives you access to everything we offer in-store, including:


🍷 A hand-picked and regularly updated selection of wines, beers and spirits
📅 Award-winning public and private tasting events
🎓 Learning opportunities through the Oxford Academy of Wine
🎉 Wedding and party services with expert guidance and sale or return options
🚚 Free delivery on orders over £90 and local delivery options available

We’ve created something we’re truly proud of – and we hope you’ll enjoy exploring it as much as we’ve enjoyed building it.

As always, thank you for supporting your local independent wine merchant. Here’s to great bottles and even better conversations.

Cheers,
Graeme, Michael & the Grape Minds team
