MWSA | Midland Wine & Spirit Association
Established in 1905 the MWSA is one of four regional wine & spirit associations in the UK
The MWSA
Established in 1905 when a group of midlands-based independent wine & spirit merchants got together to discuss issues relating to the trade. Today our members include regional businesses in the on & off trade, local branches of national companies, wholesalers, importers, producers and local English winemakers.
Our mission is to build a midlands-based professional wine community, by connecting local MWSA members together. We strive to keep our members up to date with current legislation whilst providing them with networking opportunities via wine tastings and social events. We also raise as much money as possible for The Drinks Trust our chosen trade charity.
We have close links with all of the major trade bodies, the The Wine and Spirit Trade Association WSTA, the Wine & Spirit Education Trust WSET and other regional trade associations, all of whom our members can contact for free advice & information.
Do you work in the wine trade and are based in the Midlands? Then become a fellow MWSA member today!
