Sherril Soliman is the founder of Wines With Stories, and she is passionate about wine. Her philosophy behind wineswithstories.com is that authentic, artisan wines with provenance always have stories, whereas commercial wines, produced on an industrial scale never do. She believes that it’s a great filter when selecting wine from a restaurant menu or at a wine store and encourages people to ask what the story is behind the wine. If there isn’t one, then don’t risk buying a commercial wine, that’s generally propped up with high levels of Sulphites and other chemicals to cover bad wine making. She feels that the UK and Ireland are awash with commercial wines, due to the high rates of excise duty in both markets putting pressure on pricing. Based in Belfast, her website offers an extensive range of particularly good wines from small producers which can be delivered anywhere in the thirty two counties. Her journey to becoming a wine importer began when she returned from Venice – where she met and married her husband – and was shocked at the quality and high prices of wines available in her home town having enjoyed excellent wines from local producers in Italy. She decided to begin importing wines that had no market outside of Italy. And so the story began
