Ukrainian Wine Shipment Stolen in the UK, but Our Mission Continues
In October 2025, a large shipment of premium Ukrainian wine was stolen from a delivery truck in a CCTV-monitored parking area near London. The truck was carrying 12 pallets of fine Ukrainian wine for UK restaurants, retailers, and our online shop. Thieves took 5 pallets, which is about 3,000 bottles.
Among the stolen wines were some of Ukraine’s most celebrated labels, including sparkling wines from Chateau Chizay, Grande Vallee, and Kolonist. This incident was not just a theft of goods, but a disruption of carefully planned deliveries to British wine lovers eagerly awaiting our unique and award-winning wines.
Ukrainian Wine Company UK: Unshaken and Still Pouring
We want to reassure our loyal customers, wine partners, and supporters: Ukrainian Wine Company UK is operating as usual. Despite this major loss, we continue to supply premium Ukrainian wine across the UK. Our warehouse and online shop remain fully stocked, and new shipments are already en route.
This theft has strengthened our resolve to continue our mission to introduce the UK wine market to the richness, and character of Ukrainian wines. We are in constant contact with our Ukrainian winemakers and logistics partners to restock the stolen inventory and avoid any disruption in availability.
Supporting Ukrainian Wine in the UK Market
This theft has highlighted not only the rising demand for Ukrainian wines in the UK but also the resilience of our supply chain and the community around us. We’ve received an outpouring of support from sommeliers, wine retailers, and private customers throughout Britain.
We are working closely with the police and insurance companies, and ask our partners and customers to report any suspicious resale of our products. If you see Ukrainian wines, especially those from our premium sparkling collection, sold outside at car boot sales or unverified retail partners, please contact us.
