Welcome to Wine Republic
At Wine Republic, we’re all about discovering and sharing brilliant wines with great stories. As an independent wine merchant, based in the heart of Rhiwbina, Cardiff, we focus on high-quality, characterful wines from the world’s most exciting artisan producers, especially those small, family-run estates where passion, tradition, and authenticity shine through in every sip. Whether you're searching for a trusted wine merchant Cardiff can be proud of, or simply after a curious bottle you won't find on the supermarket shelf, you've found your place.
Our love for wine goes beyond the bottle. Based in the charming village of Rhiwbina, just outside Cardiff, our shop and cosy wine bar are a haven for enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. Whether you’re popping in for a bottle, enjoying a glass from our rotating list of 25 wines by the glass, or grazing on cheese and charcuterie, you’ll find a warm welcome here. We also host monthly tastings and events to bring our community of wine lovers together.
Our story spans more than 25 years of sourcing and sharing exceptional wine across Wales and beyond. We've built relationships with the growers who matter, the ones farming sustainably, producing in small quantities, and pouring their hearts into every vintage. From classic regions to emerging appellations, our handpicked range of around 1,300 wines, Champagnes and spirits tells a story worth hearing.
Your Local Wine Shop in Cardiff
Our shop is tucked into the charming village of Rhiwbina, just north of the city centre, a neighbourhood wine shop that Cardiff residents have made their own over the years.

We're open Tuesday to Saturday, and our full range is available online with next-day UK delivery to your door.

A Wine Bar Like No Other
Wine Republic isn't just a wine shop; we're also a wine bar with Cardiff's largest range of wines available to drink in-store. Every single one of our 1,300 bottles can be bought, opened and enjoyed in-store. Pull up a stool and choose from 35 wines by the glass across all price ranges. Pair it with cheese and charcuterie, settle in, and stay a while. From a swift midweek glass to a long Saturday evening with friends, the bar is a warm, welcoming space for anyone who loves good wine.
Wine Tastings, Events & Experiences
We believe the best way to learn about wine is to taste it, which is exactly why we run free drop-in tastings every Saturday. For something more structured, our monthly tasting events bring Cardiff's wine lovers together to discover a theme, region, or grape in depth.
Looking for a wine tasting Cardiff moment to remember? We also offer private tastings and tailored wine experiences that are perfect for birthdays, corporate events, or simply indulging your curiosity. Just get in touch, and we'll create something built around your palate and budget.
Wine Clubs & Loyalty Rewards
Join one of our monthly wine clubs for exclusive access to rare bottles and exciting new finds. Our loyalty programme rewards you with 5% of every spend in points - redeemable in-store and online. At the wine bar, collect stamps and earn free glasses, because we think loyalty should taste good.
