Our Story
Welcome to CloudWine
Where style meets chilled wine and chaos meets organisation (usually thanks to the wine).
We’re Denise and Anne McGilligan, the mother-and-daughter team behind CloudWine. We started this little Irish brand with one mission: to make sure no woman, anywhere, ever has to suffer a warm glass of wine again.
The Poolside Lightbulb Moment
It all began in Portugal - the sun was shining, spirits were high, and the wine… was getting warmer by the minute.
We kept trying to solve the issue the traditional way (running to the bar for ice like Olympic athletes), until finally we looked at each other and said:
"Surely there’s an easier way to do this?"
And as it turns out, there was — we just had to make it ourselves.
The Birth of the CloudWine Bottle
The CloudWine insulated wine bottle was designed to look beautiful, feel luxe, and keep your wine chilled for 24 hours (or warm for 12 if you’re embracing winter cosiness).
It secretly holds a full bottle of wine - because half measures aren’t really our vibe - and it’s become a must-have companion for beaches, picnics, concerts, holidays, and those “just one glass” nights that never end at one.
Originally we started this business with two bottles; Kiss Me Pink and Midnight. Fast forward three years, we now have our bottle in six colours.
Then We Thought… Why Not Tumblers?
People loved the bottle so much we expanded into insulated tumblers - because sometimes you want half a bottle on the move, with no sand, flies, or curious children hovering over your glass.
They’re sleek, lidded, durable, and look like you’re drinking something far more sensible than you actually are.
Made for Real Life (and Real Women)
We’ve seen CloudWine travel everywhere - from girls’ holidays to cosy cabin weekends, from beaches in Bali to back gardens in Ireland.
One of our favourite customer stories is Sarah, who brings her CloudWine bottle to the cinema every month. Her verdict?
“It’s the perfect crime. My wine stays cold, no matter how long the film is.”
We fully support this behaviour.
Small Business, Big Heart
CloudWine is still run by just the two of us - packing orders, creating designs, answering messages, and celebrating every sale like it’s Christmas morning.
We’re proud to be a small Irish business making stylish, clever products that genuinely make people’s lives a little easier (and a lot more fun).
Cheers to Never Drinking Warm Wine Again
Thank you for supporting us - whether you’re a long-time sipper or a first-time buyer.
We hope CloudWine brings you as much joy as it brings us.
Here’s to cold wine, warm laughs, and the moments that make life magic.
Love,
Denise & Anne xo
