What we do
Dark Sea Wine (formerly Wine & Greene) is an independent online wine shop. We sell a carefully chosen selection of the wines we love to drink. That means:
- A diverse, ever-changing range focused on Europe's most exciting growers.
- Carefully-sourced, mature classics for drinking now.
- Next Level House Wines offering quality and character up to £15.
We like authentic, interesting wine made traditionally, by growers who farm conscientiously and avoid chemicals in the vineyard. We're particularly interested in overlooked European regions and grape varieties. We are specialists in the wines of Greece.
We're based in an old record store in Totnes, Devon. As a (mostly) online shop we don't have regular store opening hours, but if you're passing and we're here you are very welcome to come in and buy a bottle.

Dark Sea Wine (formerly Wine & Greene) was started by me, Ben Greene. Before this I worked in the London wine trade, selling (and when possible, drinking) the world's best wines. In 2018 I moved to Devon and set up Dark Sea Wine, to champion the wines I most want to drink.
