Founded in 1986 by Robert Simpson, Liberty Wine Merchants was established to bridge a gap in a local marketplace then dominated by mass-produced "factory" wines.

Rather than focusing on industrial labels, the company prioritizes rare and artisan wines sourced from small-batch producers and multi-generational family vineyards that emphasize heritage and authenticity.

This commitment to unique portfolios has established the business as a premier destination for wine enthusiasts seeking high-quality bottles that reflect traditional craftsmanship over mass production.

The Liberty Wine Merchants location at 1622 Commercial Drive embodies this vision by curating a selection specifically tailored to its local neighbourhood.

Led by knowledgeable sommeliers, this branch offers an extensive variety of fine wine, craft beer, spirits, and sake, allowing the store's portfolio to serve as a unique reflection of "The Drive". Regular in-store tastings further enhance the community experience, offering patrons the opportunity to explore diverse regions and artisan makers within a welcoming and knowledgeable environment.
