The Business
WineFlair was first established in 1970 and consisted of two off-licences – one in Carrickfergus and one in Belfast. The company was taken over by the current owners in August 2000 and has continued to expand ever since.
In subsequent years, WineFlair has seen a lot of change and expansion. WineFlair diversified into the convenience food sector and today WineFlair is proud to work with Spar and Vivo in a number of combined stores, offering customers their convenience groceries and off sales under one roof. In June 2015 WineFlair bought over Curley’s Wine Cellars. We currently have fifty seven stores and employ over three hundred people throughout our stores, Head Office and Warehouse.
