Wine Online

Wine Online is a Houghton-le-Spring store specializing in supplies for making drinks at home. The business dates its start to 1984 and operates a physical store alongside an online ordering catalog. Its offer is aimed both at people preparing their first batch and at experienced home brewers looking to restock ingredients or find specific equipment.

The catalog is organized around wine, beer, and cider kits. The wine section includes kits in a range of styles, while the beer selection includes lager kits and other styles. The store also sells ingredients separately rather than only as complete kits, allowing customers to follow a ready-made recipe or assemble a batch from individual components.

For beer making, the inventory includes malts, hops, yeast, and other ingredients. The wine section brings together kits, yeast, sugars, and items associated with fermentation. Cider products extend the selection, while finings and brewing chemicals support cleaning and finishing tasks. Specific availability is shown on the product pages and can change.

The equipment range complements the ingredients with fermenters, hydrometers, bottles, and tools for preparing and monitoring each batch. The store also sells flavorings and bases for spirits or liqueurs, so the catalog goes beyond traditional wine kits. This mix of consumables and equipment lets customers source several parts of the process from one supplier.

The product range includes Riddle’s drinks and preparations, among them its ginger compounds; the photo on this profile shows two of those products. The store also organizes new items, clearance products, and categories for ingredients, equipment, and yeast. Products and stock change, so the online catalog is the place to check current availability.

Customers can order through the online store, with delivery within the UK, or use local pickup at the Houghton Business Centre location. For collection, the store asks customers to wait for an email notification and bring the order number. Its shipping policy describes standard and next-day options and says deliveries require a signature from someone over 18.

Wine Online presents a long history in the homebrewing trade, while its catalog serves a practical purpose: bringing together kits, ingredients, fermentation equipment, and supplies for different drinks. A beginner can start with a kit; an experienced home brewer can look for specific components or replace equipment. The store is on Lake Road inside Houghton Business Centre.

The physical store is open Monday through Saturday during the hours published on its website and closed on Sunday. The hours captured in the source record differed, so this profile uses the current schedule published by the business. The product photo shows two bottles of Riddle’s Ginger Compound listed among the store’s products.
