Concept & Team

At the heart of SelectedByPros.com lies a concept rooted in the collective expertise and enduring camaraderie of a closely-knit group of friends, whose shared passion for wine has spanned over three decades. This extraordinary bond provided the foundation for the company's inception, aiming to distill their profound wine knowledge into an accessible and curated platform.

Formally established in 2014, the company's roots took hold in London under the banner of SelectedbyPROs.co.uk. This inaugural step marked the commencement of a journey dedicated to the meticulous curation of exceptional wines, guided by the discerning palates and extensive experience of these lifelong friends turned wine connoisseurs.

In 2021, in response to the evolving landscape following Brexit, the company expanded its horizons further. With a commitment to delivering an unparalleled wine experience to European customers, SelectedByPros.com extended its reach to The Netherlands. This strategic move solidified the company's commitment to offering their carefully chosen selections to a wider audience, fostering a deeper connection between wine enthusiasts and remarkable bottles.

The evolution from a shared passion amongst friends to an international platform showcases the company's unwavering dedication to enriching the wine journey for its customers. With a narrative rooted in friendship, expertise, and a commitment to quality, SelectedByPros.com continues to thrive as a testament to the enduring power of camaraderie and the allure of exquisite wines.
