Shopify agency for Bordeaux brands
Shopify development for Bordeaux wine estates, gourmet producers and lifestyle brands selling direct to customers in France and abroad.
Shopify development and growth for Bordeaux brands
Bordeaux is known worldwide for its wine, and the city’s economy also draws on gastronomy, tourism and a growing tech and creative scene. Many châteaux and producers that once relied on négociants and cellar-door visits now want to sell direct online. Wine and spirits stores bring particular requirements, including age confirmation, restrictions on how alcohol can be advertised in France and careful shipping of fragile bottles.
We work with Bordeaux brands remotely, with calls in your morning and clear written specifications. Common projects include direct-to-consumer stores for wine estates, wine club memberships, gift sets and corporate gifting, and visitor-to-customer email flows for people who discovered the estate during a tasting visit and want to order again from home or abroad.
What Bordeaux brands need from their store
Wine sold direct
Estates selling online need age confirmation, case and mixed-case ordering, and vintage information presented clearly. We build product pages with tasting notes, food pairings and cellaring advice that help customers choose confidently.
Advertising rules for alcohol
The Évin law restricts how alcohol can be advertised in France, which affects store copy and paid campaigns. We keep content factual and product-focused and plan marketing that stays within the rules, with your legal adviser confirming the details.
Wine tourism and clubs
Visitors to the vineyards often want to keep buying after they return home. We set up wine clubs, recurring shipments and customer accounts, turning a single tasting visit into a long-term relationship.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Bordeaux wine estate sell on Shopify?
Yes. Shopify supports alcohol sales where they are legal, and we add age confirmation, case-based ordering and shipping rules for fragile bottles. You remain responsible for licences and excise obligations, and we build the store around the requirements your adviser confirms.
Can you set up a wine club or subscription?
Yes. We use a subscription app to offer recurring shipments, member pricing and flexible schedules. Members manage their own deliveries, payment details and skipped shipments through a customer portal, which reduces the admin work for your team.
How do you work with estates from India?
We work remotely, with calls scheduled in your morning and a shared project board. Harvest season is busy, so we plan major work around your calendar and keep communication short and written when you have less time for meetings.
