Top Cuvée founders Brodie Meah and Max Venning have announced another new venture following their lockdown success at Shop Cuvée.

With almost 200,000 bottles sold in the last year, a new site in Bethnal Green will open later this summer, featuring both a second bottle shop and a downstairs bar.

Shop Cuvée in Bethnal Green will stock all the wines the brand has come to be known for, including recognised labels, Cuvée limited edition collaborative bottles, and exclusive new drops. Deli goods and merchandise will also be available. The shop will also host tastings, takeovers and events when restrictions allow. 

Downstairs will be Cave Cuvée, an “intimate limited-cover underground wine bar” inspired by the lively drinking spots of Paris and beyond. There will be wines, cocktails, music, and small plates from “chef friends”.

Brodie said: “Bringing Shop Cuvée to a new audience in Bethnal Green is beyond exciting, it’s where I’ve lived since arriving in London so I know it’s just what the area needs and can’t wait to welcome all our existing customers and meet some new neighbours. 

“Cave Cuvée is something new for us as a group, a project every wine person dreams of opening, an actually good wine bar – it’s as much for us as our guests!”
