This International Women's Day, our co-founder Victoria wanted to share something personal. â¤ď¸
"I used to be afraid of choosing wine.
Which is funny, because my mother Lily has spent decades in the wine business, exporting exceptional bottles to restaurants and companies across Europe. She knows the producers personally. She knows the regions, the vintages, the stories behind every label. Wine has been her world for as long as I can remember.
And yet. Standing in a wine shop, scanning hundreds of labels, I still felt that quiet pressure. Not wanting to ask for help in case I said the wrong thing. Hoping the price would tell me enough. Walking to the till still not entirely sure I'd made the right choice.
I know I'm not alone in that feeling.
Because the best bottle you ever had probably had nothing to do with the price. It was the glass you had somewhere you'll never forget. A small terrace in Rioja. A restaurant in Tuscany you found by accident. A dinner that started at 8pm and ended long after midnight.
You came home. And you could never find that wine again.
One day, my mother and I asked ourselves a simple question. She had spent decades sourcing the world's finest wines for businesses, and yet the individual person, the traveller who fell in love with a Rioja on holiday, couldn't access any of it.
Why is it so complicated for the final consumer to find exceptional wine?
That question became Dis&Dis."
Lily brings everything she has built over 30 years, the producer relationships, the quality expertise, and the ability to ship exceptional wine to over 20 countries worldwide. Victoria brings the belief that wine was never meant to be intimidating, it was always meant to carry you back to your best moments.
That's what a mother and daughter built together. And today, on International Women's Day, that feels like exactly the right thing to celebrate. đˇâ¤ď¸
Have you ever tasted a wine somewhere in the world and never been able to find it again? Tell us in the comments â the region, the grape, the moment. We might just be able to ship it back to you, wherever you are. đ
