About Cooden Cellars

Cooden Cellars is an independent wine merchant established by Colin Barnes and Ian Jarman in 1997. In May 2001 we opened our retail shop in the Grand Hotel Buildings, Compton Street, Eastbourne.

Products and Services

We provide an extensive range of fine wines of character and distinction, all personally tasted and selected by us before offering them for sale. We have an extensive knowledge of the wines, the vineyards and the producers and also carry a number of quality wine accessories and an unrivalled range of presentation boxes and bottle carriers which are all on display in the shop. In addition to being available in our shop most of our products can be purchased on line through the shopping facility on this site. Most of our products are also available on a wholesale basis.

We offer a range of services such as selection and maintenance of wine lists as well as running staff, corporate or social wine tastings on different levels and themes. Our new Wine School offers a number of modular wine courses and our Wine Club provides specialised services for subscribed members.

Wine Merchant of the Year

We are very proud to have been selected as Small Independent Merchant of the Year 2005 as well as Regional Wine Merchant of the Year in the IWC Awards for the last three years, in 2003 and 2004 as runner-up and in 2005 outright. We thank all those who have helped us in achieving these accolades, including, of course, all our customers and suppliers.
