Excellent service

I signed up for the private jet wine subscription as a gift for my husband, I found dealing with the staff an absolute pleasure and the quality of the products received was outstanding, I'd recommend Whelehan’s to anyone! Róisín

Best place to buy wine in Dublin!

I love calling to Whelehan’s on Saturdays as they have a free wine tasting and it just gives one an opportunity to taste wines that you might not have thought of purchasing. The range of wines is enormous and covers all price levels. There are always great options for under €20 The staff are extremely helpful in giving advice on wines and also in bringing bought purchases out to your car. John

Excellent delivery

The wine came in a sturdy box, the best wine package I have ever received. The bottles were surrounded by protective layers of cardboard in a firm manner which kept the packaging safe and strong. Sean

Excellent service - birthday present ordered from Australia and delivered to Mount Temple 😊

Interesting

I like it. I found it more interesting than I expected, the tannins were a surprise but not unpleasant.

Great wine - swiftly delivered

WSET course booking

Im delighted with the level of service, had a conversation with Arnaud and he guide me on the different payment’s method until we found one that suited me.

Good juicy wine

Messer del Fauno is a very pleasing wine with good body and dark fruit flavours. Went well with steak and lamb chops.

Brilliant

👌

Domaine Carrette

An excellent Macon - well worth a try ..

Easy to follow the introductions, received a link and made the payment. The system worked well.

A Lusciously Fresh Pick me Up

The incredible alchemy of grape blends! The garganega and trebbiano do something wonderful together resulting in a lusciously, flavoursome wine with a long finish that is zippily fresh without being too tart. Quite the best Italian white I have tasted in a very long time. Highly recommend.

Italian Heaven

Drinking aged Chianti for years until I tasted this gem at the bar, the wine's history told by the knowledgeable crew. Probably one of the best estates in Grosseto Tuscany. This wine punches way beyond the price level. My go to Italian. Thank you for the tip off!!

Domaine Malartic .

Lovely wine , great value at this price .

3 Whooley Sheep

Excellent

Excellent customer service

Super

A really classy wine

Got this as part of a gift and have ordered three more for a special occasion- just a deeply flavoured wine with complex berry flavours and v smooth with some depth. Drank it early 2025 - that said lovely coming out of the bottle but had a little bit the next day. Not the same. Not sure that relevant!

Super wine

I prefer this to champagne , its lighter but really special .

Very light and tasteful

Tastes this wine in France, fresh, crisp very nice and underrated.

Quite a dark and heavy red but beautiful flavours coming through. I'd recommend it with beef.

brilliant service

Great service , delivery and packaging. Top class

Birthday Bubbles Delivery!

Huge appreciation for Whelehans Wines and the timely delivery of my order of Bday Champers. From start to finish the process of selecting, ordering and paying was seamless. Particular thanks go to Arnaud, for the lovely touch of a personalised handwritten note. I would not hesitate to recommend Whelehans service and delivery. Enjoy!

So good I am tempted not to share my opinion

Whelehans has done an amazing job of sourcing a mid-sized Champagne producer making phenomenal wine that rivals most of the big name houses. The reserve is particularly good value and I have bought it in three formats; half bottles as an aperitif, bottles for celebrating being alive , and magnums as well-received dinner gifts

Fantastic product

I ordered this amazing product in the evening and received it the day after in the morning!! What an amazing service both me and my husband were shocked how fast it arrived! It’s an amazing experience !!

Great service & delicious champagne

Pol Roger is my favourite of the large champagne houses. I ordered some from Australia to be delivered to my family who i would be staying with. Service was excellent. Thanks Whelan’s Wines, i’ll definitely order with you again

Light, summery red

This is a light ish red (12.5%), but with a little bit of tannin, making it feel like a good red for an Irish summer. It comes across as something between a Grenache and maybe a beujolais, but have others refer to this grape as being similar to Italian Nebbiolos. It’s not my favourite kind of red, but it’s eminently drinkable and very well made.

magnificent

opened it on a sunny summer's evening, with a view to having a tasting glass. I was "assaulted" with a torrent of flavours - who would have thought the humble gamay grape could be so spectacular?! I took a chance on it and have to say, it is a fabulous wine. @27 euros, very good value.
