Back in 2013, Ronan Farrell and Richie Byrne had a hunch: Irish hospitality deserved better wine. Not fancier wine. Better wine. Fresher, more consistent, less wasteful.
They'd seen wine on tap working brilliantly elsewhere and thought — why not here? Fresher pours, zero waste, happier margins. It was a no-brainer. So they rolled up their sleeves and made WineLab Ireland's first wine-on-tap specialist.
The Standard That Started It All
Here's the thing about kegged wine: it's not a shortcut. It's an upgrade.
Our closed-loop keg system keeps wine exactly as the winemaker intended — no oxygen, no deterioration, fresh for 60+ days after tapping. Last glass, first glass — no difference.
Today we work with over 500 venues across Ireland and Northern Ireland — cosy neighbourhood spots, busy gastropubs, Michelin-starred kitchens. Our range has grown too: 60+ wines on tap, 20+ batched cocktails, 500+ bottled wines, craft beer, filtered water, and a proper alcohol-free selection.
The range has changed. The standards haven't. Brilliant drinks, brilliant service, no messing.
Partnership, Not Just Distribution
We're not here to take orders and disappear. We're in it with you.
That means building a drinks list that actually suits your menu. Training your team so they can talk (and sell) with confidence. Showing up when you need us. And helping you run a more sustainable operation without sacrificing an ounce of quality.
When you win, we win. Simple as that.
