What Happened to Platinum Wines After Dragons’ Den?
Platinum Wines appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2006, Series 3 Episode 4. The business was a device refreshing corked wines. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2008.
The Pitch
Dr Peter Myers walked into the Den in 2006 with a device refreshing corked wines. They were asking for N/A.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Dr Peter Myers left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Platinum Wines did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2008, only 2 years after the Den appearance.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Platinum Wines Still in Business?
No. Platinum Wines is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
