Naked Wines — a UK wine retailer that launched in Norwich in 2011 and was acquired by Majestic Wine for £70 million last April — told Business Insider that it grew so fast that almost ran out of wine. Naked Wines operates a crowdfunded business involving around 300,000 subscribers who provide funding for more than 100 independent winemakers in over 14 countries.
