Where can I find a comprehensive list of UK independent retailers (bottle shops, wine shops, delis) to target for distribution?
Members identified two main approaches:
**BOWIMI** — A tool with Google integration that can identify and compile bottle shops, wine shops, delis, farm shops and similar independent retailers. Members reported positive experiences and recommend reaching out directly for a demonstration of how it works.
**Collaborative Google Drive** — Members suggested creating a shared spreadsheet within the community where members could collectively build and maintain a retailer database, including contact names, estimated sales volumes, and brands already stocked. This approach would leverage collective knowledge across the group.
Note: Members were enthusiastic about having access to a comprehensive list, suggesting this is a genuine gap in the market. BOWIMI appears to be the most concrete solution available, though it's unclear whether it's a free or paid service or how complete its coverage is.
