About Us

Corks Out Stockton Heath was established in 2003 by Ruth Yates offering superb wines and spirits and great service with outstanding knowledge and enthusiasm and has quickly built up a loyal following of customers.

A second Corks Out branch quickly followed, located in the middle of Chester, in a beautiful vaulted medieval cellar that has sold wine under many names for more than 300 years. The crypt was built by the Sixth Norman Earl of Chester in the 12th century and the remarkable stone vaulted building on Watergate Street is an architectural attraction for visitors as well as those seeking to buy good wine.

One of Corks Out’s areas of expertise is menu matching. This was featured on Channel 4’s “Come Dine with Me” where Ruth selected wines for a special dinner party.

Our huge and eclectic range of over 2500 wines and spirits is also available for mail order and we can arrange next day delivery to you, wherever you are in the UK. Tasting notes can be provided with wines and whiskies bought as a gift as well as any personal message you would like to include.

We hold regular free tastings (a whole team of people who like nothing better than waxing lyrical about wine), and we can share our food and wine matching skills to help you select the perfect bottle, whether it be for a dinner with friends, a wedding or any other event you might have in mind.
