Weavers, Our History. . .

Independent Wine Merchants

Based in the centre of Nottingham, Weavers supply a comprehensive and creative range of wines, spirits and liqueurs from the popular easy drinking styles through to the traditional and more unusual, rare and sought after products throughout the UK.

Weavers is one of city's oldest independent businesses. Established in 1844 by Edward Cossal Weaver, Weavers started life as a Public House. In 1897, George Trease bought the business from Mr Weaver who emigrated to South Africa. Under the watchful eye of Bill Trease, George's grandson, the business continued to trade as a Public House together with a small wholesale wine and spirits business. In 1959, the Public House was sold and the company became wine merchants in the property remaining at 1 Castle Gate. Alan became the 4th generation of the family to join the buisness, and with his father, grew the wholesale buiness.

Today brother and sister Philip and Mary Trease, the 5th generation of the family, are involved in the business. Weavers is a thriving company suppling wines and spirits to private, corporate and trade customers throughout the Midlands and the UK. We supply the most comprehensive and creative range of wines, spirits and liqueurs from the popular easy drinking styles through to the traditional and more unusual, rare and sought after products.
