Majestic Wine

Majestic is the UK’s largest premium wine specialist in retail, wholesale and hospitality. Founded in 1980 and initially trading as Majestic Vintners, Majestic was sold to Fortress Investment Group in 2019 and has since undergone an ambitious transformation and turnaround programme. The Majestic retail business operates a network of 213 stores across the UK and Jersey, staffed by more than 1,000 highly-qualified colleagues trained through the Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET). Its growth plan is focused on curating a differentiated, high-quality product range, expanding its online presence and opening new stores. Through its on-trade specialist businesses Majestic Commercial and Enotria&Coe, which it acquired in April 2025, Majestic has rapidly grown into one of the largest wine and spirits suppliers in the UK, partnering with gastropubs, bars, restaurants, hotels and hospitality venues. Its on-trade strategy is built around an exclusive portfolio of high-quality wines, local, personalised service and expert sales teams. Majestic acquired its own wine bar business, Vagabond Wines, in April 2024 as part of its commitment to experiential retail and hospitality offerings. It has plans to grow its physical portfolio of wine bars outside of London and Birmingham in the coming years.
