I use Cadman Fine Wines admittedly at first because they were the only place in the UK that I found stocked Fondreche, but I don't have any complaints with their service or the wines I've bought from them.

best for me are given the selection of quality french wines...

www.bbr.com

www.corneyandbarrow.com

Stone, Vine and Sun have an excellent selection and much more sensible prices than all the above. The website is terrible, though, it must be admitted.

Another vote for www.bbr.com

Also http://www.cambridgewine.com/

I agree that Berry Bros and Justerinis are very good, as are Corney and Barrow (http://www.corneyandbarrow.com) and the Wine Society; I'll use C&B for my En Primeur and the others for specific wines.

I also like using independent merchants whenever possible, Great Grog (www.greatgrog.co.uk) have a good list (especially of exclusive grand cru fizz at £16/17 a bottle which outperforms many £30 bottles I've sampled) and Grog will deliver a case anywhere in the UK for free. I've used them for a lot of work things and regular customers / bulk buyers will get a discount if asked for.

Also a new discovery is Naked Wines (http://www.nakedwines.com/), a company recently set up by the ex-top bod of Virgin Wine. Naked focus on small, artisanal producers that won't be supported by larger distributors. The website has an innovative Ebay-type wine auction and they also allow you to "sponsor" an individual producer, basically you pre-pay £5 per month which goes to the maker and you can off-set it against their wines at a later date, along with a 30-odd percent discount, and they'll often send you 6 bottles free when you sign up.

Happy drinking

Another to add to the list is my local suppler Great Western Wines. I tend to visit their shop in Bath but they have a good web site and cases are shipped free of charge. A lot of their business is wit restaurants and they seem to supply some pretty good ones.
