1855 The Bottle Shop is an online retailer of fine wine, spirits, and drinking accessories, organised for shoppers browsing by type, country, region, grape, or brand. The wine catalogue spans Red, White, Rosé, Champagne, Sparkling, and Sweet Wine, sourced from countries including France, Italy, USA, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand, with dedicated collections for regions such as Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, California, Tuscany, and Rioja.
Beyond wine, the shop carries a spirits range covering Whisky, Sake, Gin, Rum, Tequila, and Vodka, featuring brands such as The Macallan, Hibiki, Port Charlotte, Amrut, and Yamazaki, alongside an accessories range including Glasses, Decanters, and Wine Preservation Systems from brands like Coravin and Riedel.
A notable part of the offering is the En Primeur 2025 collection, giving customers the chance to purchase wine futures ahead of release, alongside a Sale section organised by category and price bracket. The site also runs Club 1855, a dedicated membership programme, and organises Wine Dinners. Orders over $200 qualify for free delivery, and Pre-Order products must be purchased separately from other items.
1855 The Bottle Shop is an online retailer built around fine wine, spirits, and drinking accessories, organised for shoppers who already know roughly what they're after — whether that's a specific grape, region, or brand.
The wine range is broken down several ways: by featured collections such as New In, Best Value, Drink Now, Collector's Choice, and Food Pairing; by type, spanning Red Wine, White Wine, Rosé, Champagne, Sparkling Wine, and Sweet Wine; by country, including France, Italy, USA, Chile, Australia, and New Zealand; by region, covering Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, California, Tuscany, and Rioja; and by grape variety, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay. This layered structure makes it straightforward to narrow down a search, whether the starting point is a country, a grape, or a specific drinking occasion.
Beyond wine, 1855 The Bottle Shop carries a spirits range covering Whisky, Sake, Gin, Rum, Tequila, and Vodka, filterable by country of origin — Scotland, Japan, USA, and the United Kingdom — and by brand, with names including The Macallan, Hibiki, Port Charlotte, Amrut, and Yamazaki featured directly in the site's navigation.
For those building out a home bar or cellar, the accessories range includes Glasses, Decanters, and Wine Preservation Systems, alongside Gift Vouchers, with Coravin and Riedel called out as featured accessory brands.
A notable part of the catalogue is the En Primeur 2025 collection, offering wine futures ahead of bottling and release. Listed En Primeur wines include the Alter Ego de Palmer Margaux (ETA Q3 2028, 750ml) at $89.00, rated D 94, RP 93, and JR 17, with a case discount bringing the price to $87 each for 6 or more bottles; and the Carruades de Lafite Pauillac (ETA Q3 2028, 750ml) at $238.00, rated JS 96, D 95, RP 93, and JR 17, also discounted to $234 each for 6 or more bottles. The Chateau Angelus St-Emilion Grand Cru is also part of this En Primeur listing.
One practical note for shoppers: Pre-Order products cannot be checked out together with other products on the site — they need to be purchased as a separate order.
The site also runs a dedicated Sale section, organised by category (Wines of the Month, En Primeur 2025, Pre-Order, Winery Spotlight), by type (Wine, Spirits, Accessories), and by price bracket — Below $50, $50–$100, $100–$200, and Above $200 — making it easy to shop within a specific budget.
Other featured items highlighted across the site include Dom Pérignon Champagne with box (2017 vintage, 750ml), a 2019 Château Latour, a Sauternes-style sweet wine from d'Yquem rated RP 100, The Macallan Harmony Collection V (Phoenix, Honey & Orchid Tea, 700ml), and a Johnnie Walker Blue Label bottle featuring a design collaboration with Robert Wun.
Beyond the shop itself, 1855 The Bottle Shop runs Club 1855, a dedicated membership programme, and organises Wine Dinners as part of its offering — positioning the brand as more than a straightforward bottle shop, with events and membership perks built around the wine-drinking experience.
Shoppers get free delivery on orders over $200, a threshold flagged directly at checkout and in the cart. For anything below that threshold, standard delivery charges presumably apply, though the site's cart messaging focuses on encouraging shoppers to hit the free-shipping mark rather than detailing standard delivery costs.
For collectors and casual drinkers alike, the combination of a deep, filterable catalogue, a dedicated En Primeur programme, and a loyalty club gives 1855 The Bottle Shop a broader footprint than a typical online liquor store — closer to a curated wine merchant with its own community elements built in.
