Berry Bros. & Rudd is Britain's oldest wine and spirits merchant, with a history dating back to 1698. Founded by the Widow Bourne at No. 3 St James’s Street in London, the company began as an Italian grocery selling coffee, tea, spices, and other luxury goods before evolving into one of the world's most respected wine and spirits merchants.

Over more than three centuries, Berry Bros. & Rudd has remained family-owned and has built a reputation for expertise in fine wine, Scotch whisky, rum, cognac, and other premium spirits. The company was among the earliest independent bottlers of whisky and spirits in Britain and has played a significant role in the development of the fine wine and whisky trade.

Throughout its history, it has supplied the British Royal Family, holding Royal Warrants from successive monarchs, and has served generations of collectors, connoisseurs, and hospitality professionals. Today, Berry Bros. & Rudd operates internationally while continuing to trade from its historic London home, combining centuries of tradition with a modern approach to sourcing, bottling, education, and global distribution of fine wines and spirits.
