ABOUT US
Here at Myliko
we are passionate about Wine
Myliko Wines was established in 1991 initially as a Hungarian wine specialist, however we now ship wines from 12 countries. Ranging from modern wineries with the latest wine making technologies, to smaller boutique family run wineries. We offer wines of true quality, depth and character to our diverse range of customers. Over the years we have assembled a comprehensive collection of wines across various price points, from well-respected wineries around the world.
Our understanding of individual consumer preferences and market trends enables Myliko to work proactively with its retailing partners, to meet changing consumer demand. The unique adaptability of Myliko’s business approach has resulted in buyers frequently approaching Myliko to source specific blends or varietals for them from almost anywhere in the world. This flexibility to acquire wines from outside our regular portfolio has won Myliko respect from the UK’s wine buyers and is great testimony to the skills of the Myliko team.

Hemant Kotecha
Managing Director
About Me
Since Myliko was founded over 35 years ago, I have travelled the world to meet new and existing winery partners. Being a people person, I enjoy creating and managing relationships, over a glass of wine, of course! I like to ensure that we are challenging ourselves and constantly evolving to meet the customer and market needs.
Hobbies & Interests
I enjoy a round of golf and going on a bike ride when the weather permits. At home you can find me listening to country and western music, exercising on the cross-trainer and more recently, trying out new recipes in the kitchen.
Favourite Wine
I have had the privilege of tasting a huge variety of amazing wines over the years so it’s hard to choose just one. I really do enjoy all well-made wines, however depending on my mood and the time of year that will determine the wine for the moment.

Nish Kotecha
Commercial Director
About Me
As the Commercial Director I am responsible for supervising the commercial operations of our business. My primary focus is to assist and offer support to our customers, partner suppliers, and our committed team. With extensive experience and expertise gained over the years being part of Myliko Wines’ journey, I am always willing to share my knowledge. The diversity of my role, combined with my passion for wine, keeps me engaged and energised.
Hobbies & Interests
Someone once summed up my interests as anything you can eat, drink, plug in or drive! Pretty accurate I would say!
Favourite Wine
Selecting a favourite wine is a challenge, akin to choosing a favourite child. My appreciation of wine is diverse, so my choice is influenced by the company, the occasion, and the cuisine. However, I can confidently say that heavily oaked chardonnay is not to my liking, even some exceptional white Burgundies do not agree with my discerning taste.

David Emmins
Sales Manager West
About Me
I came into the wine trade in 1978 as a Regional Sales Manager, and over 40 years later I’m still calling on one of my original accounts and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I’m responsible for sales in the West of the Country, covering Crewe to Penzance, looking after Wholesalers, Breweries and Independant Outlets.
Hobbies & Interests
I’m very keen on rugby and have had a season ticket at Gloucester for over 20 years. I travel to at least one European Cup match a year, and we always manage to visit a vineyard during the weekend. Our trip to play Bordeaux included a very memorable day at Chateau Bertinerie.
Favourite Wine
My favourite wine is anything that is free!! Alternatively, I favour Alsace Pinot Gris or a Shiraz from South Australia.
