Did you purchase Tanners Claret last year? If so, you’ll have picked up our best-selling bottle. Or do you prefer Peaty Creag, our 8-year-old Scotch blend? Well, if you do, then you’ll be drinking a dram that has been a house stalwart since the mid-90s. There is, of course, every possibility that you haven’t tried any at all… well, not yet anyway.
The epitome of quality and value, whether you’re looking to pick up a bottle to enjoy over the weekend, need a superb food-match or require a crowd-pleasing bottle or two, then the Tanners own labels are just for you.
Why are the own-labels so well-loved?
Purely and simply, there’s no fuss. They are wonderful expressions of signature grape varieties and styles from some of the most celebrated wine-producing countries and regions. It’s a global tasting tour of style and quality right at your fingertips.
There are no hidden surprises in the own label range, you don’t have to know the name of the Château, the vineyard or even vintage nuances, which makes this range incredibly accessible for all who enjoy wines and spirits.
Whether you adore fruit-filled French Merlot, have a penchant for Prosecco or adore aromatic Sauvignon from France and/or New Zealand, these wines are timeless favourites. In 2024, the top 10 best-sellers were all from the Tanners own label selection.
With easy-drinking appeal and covering a range of varieties and styles, there is something for everyone.
Who makes the wine & spirits?
Established in 1842, it’s fair to say that we know and work with fantastic producers around the world. As a merchant, Tanners doesn’t have vineyards but luckily we know people who do. Given our connections, it’s only natural to entrust those at the top of their game with creating the Tanners own label range.
The relationship with the producers we work with is incredibly important to Tanners, many of whom have become lifelong friends. Maison Sichel, for example, has worked with Tanners since the 1890s - a true example of friendship in wine. And it’s not just wine, Ian Macleod have blended Tanners Peaty Creag since it launched almost thirty years ago.
To carry the name and reputation of Tanners is quite something. We are proud to offer such an extensive range of quality wines that feature our name on, front and centre. Of course, some may argue that we’re biased – they are our own-labels so of course we love them - but it’s not about us, it’s about providing you with a range of top-quality wines that are staple bottles for you to enjoy all year round.
From mid-week meals to parties
The Tanners own label wines are fit for all occasions. Whether you’re looking to stock up your supplies, if you need a top-value gift, or perhaps need to cater for dinners or parties, whatever the celebration, the own-label range is your first port of call.
The Tanners Chardonnay is a top-pick from Rachel Armstrong, Tanners Wine in Time Manager:
“A regular in my wine rack and a firm family favourite. Such a well-rounded white, striking the right balance between the richness and generosity of fruit akin to New World Chardonnays, with the minerality and clean finish of a classic French. Very drinkable, or equally food friendly; I can heartily recommend it with buttered seabass and lardons accompanied by parmentier potatoes!”
Other top food matches include:
Tanners French Rosé, Côtes de Gascogne with Lamb and feta kebabs
Tanners Cava Brut, Traditional Method with Halloumi fries
Tanners Spanish Reserva, La Mancha with BBQ pulled pork
Tanners Gascony Dry White, Côtes de Gascogne with Leek, cheese and potato pie

From small but perfectly formed to marvellous magnums
A few of our top-sellers feature in half bottles making them perfect-sized presents, or simply a great way to try a few bottles in your very own Tanners tasting flight from the comfort of home.
And if that’s just too small, a select number of our own-labels can be found in magnum size. Ideal for parties and all manner of celebrations, a magnum is a must-have centrepiece to wow your guests.
Tanners Douro is one of our most popular reds and it’s available in all size formats. The design of the label has a fitting legacy, it’s an image taken from the 1969 wine list. A consistent crowd-pleaser, customer Ian T. rated it 5 stars and said, “We have had this wine before and really liked it, plus the large bottle makes a great present.”
That’s the Spirit
It’s not just wine that can be found in the own label range, but spirits too. Featuring our clean and crisp Hereford Finest Dry Gin to the celebrated Tanners Peaty Creag, 8-year-old Blended Scotch, these bottles are 5* rated by customers and loved all year long.
Tanners customer David G states that Tanners Peaty Creag, 8 Year Old Blended Scotch Whisky is “great easy quaffing whisky.”
Perfect Port
A great addition to a cheese board or even a dessert, a glass of Port adds that touch of finesse and elegance.
The core selection of Tanners Port bottles across three different styles and price points offers you a window into the world of deliciously sweet and sumptuous fortified wine. Primed and ready for drinking, there is no need to wait around for further maturation.
Sumptuously Sweet
Deliciously honeyed, yet with good freshness and not overly cloying, the Tanners Sauternes – Half is well-loved, but the vineyard is somewhat of a closely guarded secret; all we can say is it has a very fine pedigree!
A favourite all year round, Sauternes can make a perfect partner for rich blue cheese or a Crème Brûlée.
Did you say Sherry?
Gone are days when Sherry was associated with Miss Marple and village gossip, the world of Sherry is bursting with flavour and varying styles.
The dry and almost savoury Tanners Fino, as well as the fresh and tangy Tanners Mariscal Manzanilla, are top matches for coastal picnics and tapas; the nutty aromas and flavours of Tanners Amontillado make it a winning partner with a strong Manchego or mature cheddar. If you fancy something sweeter then the sweet and sumptuous Tanners Cream Sherry is the bottle to pick. From soft cheese to rich vanilla ice cream, a bottle of Cream Sherry adds a touch of sweetness that will be sure to delight all who try it.
