From Porto with the love of Sail

Max Driscoll June 25, 2017

We’re delighted to announce that Raymond Reynolds Ltd, Niepoort Vinhos SA and Trans Ocean Wind Transport (TOWT) have collaborated to set up the first, regular By Sail trading route from Portugal to the UK.

This form of transport is a romantic recreation of the sail trading routes of the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, the only way Port & Douro Wine reached our shores and the busy taverns of Blightey. It also represents a positive step by ourselves and Niepoort Vinhos to reduce our collective Carbon Footprint for the importing of wine and Port to the UK.

Shipped, not Sailed

Jake Reynolds October 28, 2016

This summer we had hoped to ship a special consignment of wines under the power of sail.

Unfortunately circumstances meant we couldn't manage to make it happen as we'd have liked.

While not having been shipped by sail, the goods are all here in the UK, and we've offset the extra carbon via a renewable energy trust.

For the full story of our mis-adventures on the high seas, click the link below.
