What Is The Case Wine Life?

(Updated 12/23/2024)

Welcome to Casewinelife.com, where our small business journey began during the height of the Pandemic. As seasoned restaurateurs with over thirty years of experience, we were caught off guard when the Governor of Virginia shut down our dining room to curb the spread of Covid-19. Our restaurant was founded in the late '70s, and for decades, customers enjoyed pairing wine with our Italian cuisine in our dining room. We never thought a day would come when that was no longer an option.

How did we respond? First, we kept our cool, which was crucial as we brainstormed. Just before Covid-19 hit, we had begun to see some success selling beer and wine through delivery apps. With the lockdowns, these apps became essential for reaching customers, a survey at the time revealed that 53 percent of wine drinkers were hesitant to enter a store to purchase wine again. With this shift, we expanded our wine shipping program and that's how Casewinelife.com was born.

The name came from watching the founder of Wine Library TV, Gary Vaynerchuck, host his 1000th episode on YouTube. While reviewing a wine that he thought was worthy to buy by the case, he quipped, "If you are about that case wine life, then you are going to want to buy a couple of cases of this Chardonnay for the summer." 

What began as a small wineshipping operation has quickly evolved into a thriving business with a dedicated team, delivering wine to wine lovers nationwide and even serving conventions and conferences—one attended by a former U.S. President.

We are constantly studying consumer trends, and our portfolio reflects the rise of "premiumization" in the marketplace. This is why we work hard to keep allocated wines like Dominus, Sassicaia and Opus One in stock for you.
