Our Story

Founded in May 2021 during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Tan&Ns Wine Importers was established by Luigi Tana. With a rich background in wine development for the HORECA and Ex-Cellar portfolios, Luigi recognised an opportunity to import exclusive wines from around the globe and share them with the UK market.

As a hybrid shop and bar, Tan&ns Wine Importers consistently offers the support and quality we require to offer our customers a truly special wine experience. Owner Luigi's rich wine heritage is accentuated throughout their portfolio and that passion is upheld by our dedicated rep Greg. Their commitment in providing us with the support needed and eclectic offerings is why we have confidence in working alongside them and will continue to do so.

Tan&Ns and Luigi have been outstanding wine partners and are proud suppliers to the Vittoria Group. Quality, service and great value in equal measure are paramount to consistent success. We wish to continue and build on this relationship for many years to come.

Tan&Ns Wine Importers

Bringing the World's Wines to the UK

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, which made travel and in-person meetings nearly impossible, Luigi and his dedicated team worked tirelessly to build relationships with both young, charismatic producers and long-standing wine partners. Through the use of video conferencing and a deep understanding of the needs of both suppliers and clients, Tan&Ns has curated an impressive portfolio of wines and provides top-notch services to its customers.

These services include next-day delivery, IP labels, exclusive offerings, paid reserves, and producer-funded promotions – all with the goal of prioritising client satisfaction. As a wine producer himself, Luigi understands the fundamentals of supply and demand, and he is committed to navigating the ever-changing landscape of the industry to ensure Tan&Ns’ clients have access to the finest wines.

“Starting a wine importer project during COVID was the equivalent of being challenged with landing on the moon with a hairdryer… but, it was done!” says Luigi. “Video conferencing became the only way to get our partners on side without risk of catching the virus. I learned that everything travels in a box now and meetings are faster, more to the point and efficient. Building relationships with producers and clients is at the core of the wine industry, and the foundations of these partnerships are now built with good expectations on both sides.”

Now, a year later, Luigi and his team have all shared a glass of wine and discussed the future together in person, with great plans for the company’s growth. At the heart of Tan&Ns Wine Importers is a commitment to excellence, innovation, and a deep respect for the art of winemaking. With a focus on providing exceptional customer service, the company is poised to become a driving force in the UK wine industry.

Our Team

Luigi Tana

Managing Director

 Luigi founded Tan&Ns Wine Importers in 2021, bringing his extensive experience in UK wine sales and imports. Passionate about providing exclusively imported wines with bespoke labeling to the on- and off-trade, Luigi splits his time between overseeing fermentation at his family’s winery, I Ciacca, in Lazio, leading creative meetings at Tan&Ns, and engaging with customers to promote our supplier’s beautiful wines—all while enjoying time with his young family.

Wine of the moment:

“Family wine aside, Metamorfosis Merlot 2022 offers fab quality and we really should be charging more!”

Liam Gardiner

General Manager

Liam joined Tan&Ns in 2024 after gaining key experience at Italian specialist importer VinumTerra. With a background in wine marketing, events, and hospitality, plus six transformative years living in Spain, he brings a versatile approach to the team. While he’s involved in all aspects of operations at Tan&Ns from spreadsheet to sale, he’s most at home on the road visiting wineries with our customers.

Wine of the moment:

“Upcoming imports from Lazio and Campania are exciting from Cesanese del Piglio to Fiano di Avellino” 

Craig Sutherland

Cellar & Logistics Manager

Craig is the go-to person for understanding and anticipating our customers’ needs. During the pandemic, he played a key role in the procurement and fulfilment of the UK’s largest fine dining home delivery service, managing stock for 6,000 weekly customers. With a keen eye for stock movement and its impact on our customers’ wine lists, handy with a forklift too – Craig keeps Tan&Ns ticking.

Wine of the moment:

“Champagne.”

Ariane Caulfield

Office manager & Pa to the MD

The most organised person in the room, Ariane joined Tan&Ns at the start of 2024, bringing her experience managing hotel bars. Since her arrival, orders for Grenache Gris and Lambrusco Dolce have skyrocketed, along with our knowledge of Korean food and culture! Ariane has confidently embraced everything Tan&Ns, making an immediate impact.

Wine of the moment for Spring:

“L’Orso Pecorino d’Abruzzo DOC from Talamonti’s Diversitas range.”
