Aimee’s Story
Aimee’s WINE HOUSE ltd established December 2009. With our Backwell store 45 Rodney Road opening and eight months later came our 65 Stoke Hill Bristol store established August 2010.
Both store’s were originally part of the ‘Threshers’ off license chain and have long been established as a ‘Wine merchant’ destination to purchase all things associated with booze.
Aimee was a previous manager for the chain, at the age of twenty-three the opportunity arose to re-open as a totally independent wine merchant with the help from family and a ‘celebrating ten years’ journey began. Aimee has worked relentlessly putting her own personal stamp on all the products being offered to all our customers. Aiming to offer great single bottle prices to those extra special one off bottle deals that she comes across.
Aimee’s is run by a mix of family members (Husband Gavin, Mum Dawn and Sister Zoe) and other sales staff. With an advanced WSET knowledge in wines each staff member also has their own passion in what they like to enjoy drinking personally offering a fun and relaxing atmosphere with a friendly, knowledgeable and helpful team.
We also have the addition of our two canine helpers Cassey and Vinnie. Cassey has top class customer meeting and greeting skills, and Vinnie is simply known as the ‘Harry potter dog’.
Our Stoke Bishop store has a little added extra behind the scenes our ‘Aimee’s BREW’ Bristo’ls smallest microbrewery. Solely sold in our two stores we hand craft from brew to bottle since
2016.

Community
I really enjoy the interaction with customers’. Yes we really do! it is one of the best! parts of our daily life here at Aimee’s. We like to think that our ability to mix with all our customers keeps them coming back.
We pride ourselves on being the most friendliest, most helpful store. Even being known to do a vegetable co-operative during the summer months swopping excess homegrown produce……..
Our local parcel pick up and drop off service really does supply a local support and convivence, also working with lots of local charities to offer support for their events.
Past Events
We frequently run a variety of tasting and sampling events throughout the year. Our annual December wine tasting is a ‘must attend’ event by all locals and beyond. Very informal 100 guests get to meet the suppliers and sample over 35 wines.
We also run a number of ‘GIN’ tastings in our private garden for numbers of 20 guests, (these can also be requested on a private basis) gin, tonic, accompanying garnishes and usually a barbeque! Great idea for summer work parties!
Supplier product instore tastings- a variety of suppliers like to come into store on a Friday evening and showcase their products along with meet the customers, a great change to try something new.
