About Vincent
Welcome to the 100 Club!
I’m Vincent Healy, an Irishman living in Milan, with a passion for promoting Irish food and wine in Italy since 2012. As the first to introduce Irish cheese here, I’ve learned a great deal about economies of scale, logistics, pricing, marketing, and more.
Why Join the 100 Club?
- Exclusive Savings: Purchase wines at ex-works prices, which are often cheaper than retail—even after those hefty excise duties and VAT.
- Educational Experiences: Enjoy engaging showcases with renowned experts like Professor Katarina Anderson, who brings her extensive knowledge of rare Italian grapes to our club.
- Community Access: Whether you’re a private enthusiast, restaurant owner, social club member, or corporate gifter, you’ll find a warm welcome here.
How It Works
Direct Purchases: Buy directly from producers at reduced prices. We don’t profit from the sales of wines or other products; instead, we add a modest €1 per bottle to cover our costs.
No Retail Overhead: By avoiding retail space and staff expenses, we pass those savings directly to you. Plus, buying in bulk helps us secure better delivery rates.
Join us for exclusive access to amazing wines and enriching experiences.
Feel free to reach out to me at vincenthealy@the100club.ie.
Looking forward to welcoming you!

Welcome to the 100 Club!
I’m Vincent Healy, an Irish man in Milan.
A little background to how the club came about.
I’ve been selling and promoting Irish food in Italy since 2012.
I’m also the first Irish person to ever sell Irish cheese in Italy, an industry which is now booming.
Over the years I’ve learned a lot about what is “the economy of scale” and logistics.
Pricing, Marketing and Premiums. 3 very important words which are designed to confuse.
As I was walking through the vineyards with an old friend in Valpolicella in Italy, I asked him, “How much for one of your bottles of Amarone della Valpolicella?”
His answer struck me. “About 35 or €40 on a shelf in Italy, but if you buy direct from me, €24!”
Great savings I thought. My trading brain kicked in. I asked, “So how much for 1000 of them?”
“€14”, was his answer.
The 100 club is not just about wine, but anything that you can buy at retail, you can buy ex-works.
As the “Club Admin” we don’t make any profit off the sale of the wines, coffees or any other products that we showcase. Club members buy at ex-works prices. We add, for example, €1 per bottle of wine no matter what the value of the wine. Our work is always the same. Arrange transport, pay the producer and pay your taxes. That’s it!
Even after the super high excise rates and VAT. Still cheaper, every time.
Almost all of our products are cheaper than in their country of origin!
We can only achieve this by using The 100 Club System which means that we have no retail space to pay for, no retail staff to pay and we can only get a good deal on delivery when we sell by the case. And like everything, the more delivery we buy the cheaper that gets too.
We even go one step further. Education in a fun way.
We showcase wineries, not sell wine. The producers do all of that through our interviews.
Professor Katarina Anderson is a real hero in the world of wine and has spent the last 15 years or so researching rare Italian grapes. She’s also a highly regarded sommelier who puts the points onto rare and vintage wines. She personally selects our wineries based on how cool the winemakers are, how cool the wine is and how much value there is.
“She’s the brains behind the operation, I’m trying to get better at data entry!“
Katarina is a seasoned blogger and you can see and read all about her on https://www.grapevineadventures.com.
All of the above is the reason why you should join the club.
It’s an open house for private lovers, restaurants, social clubs and corporate gifters.
We welcome one and all to the club so send me an e-mail at vincenthealy@the100club.ie

FAQ
Upon subscribing, you will gain access to our curated selection of wineries and exclusive content. To secure advantageous distribution rates, our partner wineries stipulate the purchase of varying quantities, ranging from one to two pallets. Our direct-to-consumer model effectively removes intermediaries, enabling us to offer wholesale pricing with a minimum purchase requirement of two cases per transaction. Simply select your desired wines, add them to your cart, and proceed to complete your purchase. Once the minimum order requirement is satisfied, we will manage all subsequent processes, including payment, transportation, warehousing, and customs clearance. Experience a seamless and efficient service with us.
Join the 100 Club for just €4 a month billed annually. Enjoy exclusive access with only €1 per bottle as our admin fee, regardless of the wine’s value. We simply want to give you access to the best wines and producers from our trusted network.
We feature authentic wines crafted by passionate winemakers. While you might find an €8 bottle in shops, its true wine value is often just 50 cents—essentially, it’s not quality wine. Our focus is on genuine quality and craftsmanship.
The 100 Club will consist of 100 exclusive clubs across Ireland, each limited to 100 members. This exclusivity ensures personalised experiences and accessibility for producers. We specifically target producers who don’t mass-export to supermarkets, allowing us to maintain high baseline quality.
Due to the nature of the 100 Club, we don’t offer a returns policy. However, we will have a “Swap Shop” in our club forum where members can exchange wines they don’t prefer. Since clubs are organised by location, you’ll have 99 other members nearby to swap with, ensuring you always find something you love.
The 100 Club offers more than just wine. We will feature food producers from Ireland and Italy, and provide access to exclusive items like our 100 Club chopping board on demand. Additionally, we will offer specials throughout the year that include travel and culture experiences, kitchenware, and even art.
Absolutely! The club thrives because of its members. Every item purchased earns points, redeemable for cash, wines, Irish food hampers, and even a grand prize—a week in a Tuscan villa during Halloween. Plus, we have Club Captains who reinvest a small percentage of the club’s performance into meaningful projects. Many are already involved in initiatives like directing schools for disadvantaged kids or managing community networks. They volunteer their time, and we’re thrilled to support their impactful work.
