Behind these bottles
Hi, we’re Steph and Mitch 👋
We each collect wine a little differently. Mitch collects to drink, while Steph collects with an eye on the long term - which probably makes her the responsible one.
What we share is a love of great wine, good food, and the stories behind every bottle.
With backgrounds in finance, property, and building businesses in regulated industries (with a few write-ups along the way in places like Forbes and Business Insider), we set out to build something simple:
A place where people could access great wine, cellar it properly, and build a collection over time.
That’s how TradingGrapes started.
Thanks for being here.
Cheers,
Steph & Mitch Kerr

Our mission
To make collecting great wine simple.
Wine is one of life’s great pleasures - and one of the world’s most fascinating tangible assets.
TradingGrapes exists to make it easier to access remarkable bottles, store them properly, and build a collection over time.
Whether you're buying wine to drink tonight, cellar for later, or hold as part of a collection, we believe great wine should be accessible to more people.

Trusted partners
We work with leading vineyards, distributors, and trusted authenticators and collectors to ensure every bottle is genuine, properly sourced, and comes with a story worth sharing.
Optimal cellaring
Once received, each wine is stored in our climate-controlled, insured facility - monitored continuously to keep bottles in peak condition.Whether you cellar with us or request delivery, your wine stays safe, secure, and ready when you are.
Authentic photos
Most photos are taken by our team -showing wines exactly as they are stored and shipped. Every order is inspected and fulfilled by us, so the bottle you receive is the one we stand behind.
Sustainable shipping
Our unbranded, wine-certified boxes keep deliveries secure while minimising waste - discreet, protective packaging designed for high-quality wine.Why people use TradingGrapes
