AW has always taken pride in sourcing a relevant wine selection and providing a bespoke customer service since it was founded by Fraser Alexander in 1981.  In 2018 Alexander Wines joined the Dunns Food and Drink Family.  Dunns, one of Scotland’s best-known food and drink suppliers, is a family business, with a history dating back to 1875 when a 26 year old Joseph Dunn started his soft drinks business in the east end of Glasgow.
