About Us

 
O’Briens is Ireland’s largest family owned drinks retailer. Our motto, Taste the Difference, reflects the unique source of our wines as we exclusively ship from over 55 wineries worldwide. These valuable partnerships enable us to offer our customers a range of excellent quality wines at the very best value. We also work with local suppliers to deliver a complete range of over 1,000 wines and the largest beer and spirits offering in the country.

In visiting any of our 28 stores, you will enjoy a unique shopping experience thanks to our modern, contemporary layout, daily instore tastings, monthly promotions and excellent service from our knowledgeable and friendly staff. Our team is passionate about wines and look forward to introducing our latest arrivals from the wine world each month!

Our online offering is also brought to you by the same innovative team of staff, who provide excellent descriptions of the wines and winemakers, useful serving suggestions & handpicked mixed cases of their personally recommended favourites.

With over 250 staff currently employed, continued growth of the group is governed by the family’s five core values of great retail – value for money, knowledgeable and friendly staff, an exciting and relevant product offering, a relaxed retail environment and the right store location. Managing director Brendan O’Brien is adamant that these core values will not change and will continue to form the building blocks of the company long into the future.
