Langton's Reviews | Rating 4,7 out of 5 stars (8 reviews)

Langton's is located in Surry Hills, Australia on 26 Waterloo St. Langton's is rated 4.7 out of 5 in the category wine store in Australia. From small beginnings in Melbourne in 1988, Langton’s has grown to become the major force in all sectors of the fine wine market in Australia. Langton’s is Australia’s leading fine wine marketplace. While it began as a specialist wine auction house, Langton’s now also embraces a comprehensive online wine business together with a private wine broking operation. Langton’s links customers with extended networks of winery cellar doors from across Australia and around the world. Wine can be delivered to customers direct from the source. Langton’s was founded Melbourne in 1988 with a Sydney office opening the following year. What set Langton’s apart from the outset was our passion and belief in Australian fine wines. Our first Classification of Fine Wine in 1991 was a genuine innovation. Since then it has become the ultimate form guide to local fine wines. It was followed up with the internationally respected Langton’s Fine Wine Buying and Investment Guide, now in its 7th edition. Langton’s was instrumental in developing the secondary (auction) market for Australian wine and in building the Australian market for fine imported wines. Langton’s was also a key player in the extraordinary success of Penfolds Grange and other elite Australian wines. Indeed, when Penfolds began its Red Wine Recorking program in 1991, Langton’s was on hand to provide Grange owners with independent advice. This relationship continues. In 2011, Langton’s, now owned by Woolworths, turned another corner with the acquisition of a Brokerage Team which provides customers with exclusive one-on-one service and access to extended networks of cellar doors across Australia and around the world. Today with the release of a new website and trading platform, a new generation of wine buyers participates in a massively-expanded market that operates 24/7.

I have been using Langton’s for many years as a source of excellent wines at very good prices. Packaging/delivery is always fast and efficient. My broker Rhys Jones is the catalyst for my purchases. He has a very good understanding of our ‘palates’ and is always on the lookout for special wines or special deals. All of his excellent advice and service comes with a minimum of fuss and no pressure. It is a pleasure to deal with Rhys and he is highly recommended.

Even though Langton's was incorporated into the fold of a certain multi-national company in recent times, it has retained the feel of a smaller and personal business that deals in a quality product. My wine broker, a charming woman, knows her wine and respects the client without bs. I have bought expensive and relatively less so bottles of Australian and global wine over the last three years and am yet to be disappointed. A tip on delivery: if receiving to your door Endeavour is best.

A friend recommended Langton's and I haven't looked back. I'm not a big wine aficionado so it has been really helpful to be guided by their expert broker. Rhys Jones' personable and expert approach has been educational and really expanded my vino horizons. Our monthly chats have become a real highlight in my calendar - when that sweet 6 pack arrives I know I'm in for something special.

Excellent source of interesting and value for money wine. My broker, Rhys Jones keeps a steady supply of tempting offers coming. We often chat about my preferences and Rhys usually proffers a superb wine that does not disappoint. Importantly, he is not pushy and gives the same accommodating service whether we are talking about a 15 or a 75 bottle.

Langton's (specifically Rhys Jones) has provided excellent advice and service with a sound knowledge of Italian, French and Australian wines-covering a wide price range and coming up with some off beat producers at times. Very efficient order/delivery process. Highly recommended

Always great service from Joanna and the team at Langton's. They have great specials every week on top quality wines and ordering is so easy. Mostly free freight all the way to Far North Queensland as well.

I have been dealing with Rhys for approximately 18 months now and have been super happy with his service. Very knowledgeable, knows what I like but still prompts me to try other varieties. I highly recommend Rhys who also processes a sense of humour to go with his outstanding knowledge.

I have only recently started working with Rhys and he has been enormously helpful. He found out of preferences and points us in the right direction with recommendations and offers. He has always been spot on and follows up to see how we liked the wines. He is also not afraid to offer us something out of our normal range and encourage us to try other ranges. I look forward to continue buying from Rhys and getting a larger wine fridge
