On-Trade & Business Sales
For over 75 years, the team at O Brien’s Wine has proudly served retail customers through our network of stores across the country. In that time, we have developed deep relationships with some of the most interesting and innovative wineries across the world. They are our partners - over 180 small family businesses that we represent to bring the best wines to Irish customers.
In recent years we have started to develop a trade presence too, working with a selection of customers in the fine and casual dining sectors. We have been supplying handpicked wines that have caught the imagination of diners, sommeliers, and chefs alike. It has been such a success that we now plan to extend the service.
Through an exclusive selection of wines handpicked by our buyer, Lynne Coyle Master of Wine (MW), we present an unrivalled wine offering that will help any wine list come alive. All our wines are exclusive to us, and our team knows them intimately: who makes them, how they taste, and what food they work best with.

Gavin Watchorn
Trade Account Manager
Gavin started in the wine trade with O’Briens in the late 1990s. After a year or two, he moved on to establish his own wine start-ups (both in retail and wholesale). Gavin has now come full circle and rejoined O’Briens Wine after a 23-year hiatus. His experience within the Irish and international wine trade has added many strings to his bow, from sales, sourcing and buying and maintaining business relationships to staff training and education. Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) qualified and an enthusiastic cook, food and wine were always a natural fit for Gavin.
