About Us
Our Heritage
Established three decades ago to address the negligence towards travel retail, ii-wines & spirits developed from a vision to bring refinement to the industry. Throughout our history, our focus has always been to balance the issues facing product onboard with assuring quality sleection and service. Each member of the team has had experience in the hospitality industry and we utilise our collective knowledge to inform, analysis and assess. Through this, we have collated a comprehensive portfolio of beverages to suit all travel classes, age ranges, dietary preferences and more. We want our heritage to reflect that of those we work with and their dedication to their craft, be it as suppliers or buyers.
A Quiet Commitment to Innovation
In an industry of change, we have quietly embraced innovation, seeking subtle yet impactful ways to enhance the travel retail experience for both the consumer and client. Our focus is not on grand gestures but on thoughtful improvements that contribute to the ease and enjoyment of travel. The chief themes of innovation we specialise in revolve around contributing to fuel savings, maximising space, enhancing the serve of drinks and keeping environmental impact to a minimum. ii-wines & spirits recognises the impact of our industry, and we work with our customers to minimise the impact of our work on the environment, ensuring people can continue to explore our beautiful home.
Our Philosophy
Our approach is rooted in humility, and rightfully acknowledging that the customer is always the priority, even and especially at the expense of hard work. We are proud to have fostered a culture amongst our suppliers and customers that reflects a genuine commitment to meeting their needs with utmost sincerity, whilst ensuring the end buyer has the best-in-class product available. Celebrating over three decades in the industry, ii-wines & spirits has quietly and consistently contributed to the travel retail landscape. Our journey is not defined by ostentation but by a continuous dedication to excellence, marked by the trust placed in us by our patrons.
Welcome to ii-wines & spirits, a humble presence in the travel retail landscape for over thirty years. Founded and led by our esteemed Director, Rodger Craig, we take pride in our journey which has been marked by dedication, sincerity, and a commitment to elevating the travel retail experience for all passengers. We have assisted clients in developing a nuanced understanding to the needs of travellers, and creating depth in what may be offered onboard planes, trains, ferries and Duty Free outlets without compromising the primary considerations any travel company must traverse.
