These wine makers are not necesarily small, much less depend on naked wines to survive, neither they only produce for naked wines. All those wine makers produce wine that is sold to supermarkets and shops across the UK and elsewhere...under their main (many times very well known) brands. Naked Wines rips off people by asking those producers to produce the exact same wine under a different label. Why? So that consumers (you and I) cannot compare prices, believe their lies, and "agree" to pay some times TWICE the regular price. They create a monopoly that allows them to set much higher prices for the wine, charging some times TWICE the supermarket price for THE SAME wine (produced under another name). That's the basis of the whole Naked Wines business concept. I'm in the wine business and know at least a couple of producers who currently produce (or have done so in the past) wine for naked wines. The wine is exactly THE SAME the sell to many supermarkets in the UK (and worldwide). You can buy those wines in Tesco or Waitrose for 4.99, but naked wines charges you up to 9.99, for EXACTLY THE SAME WINE. That's double the price! What a great business... On top of that, as said before, those wineries do NOT depend on naked wines at all. Typically they produce a few different wines (some of those producers have a portfolio of a couple dozens wines) and only a couple are labeled differently for Naked Wines (again, those same couple are labeled for the usual distribution chain - supermarkets). The volume naked wines generates for these producers is usually neglible compared to what they produce for the "rest of the world", including most supermarket chains in the UK, for exactly the same wines. On top of that, those naive people that become "angels" are only making naked wines bank account grow larger, not helping any wine maker survive. Come on people, wake up!
