What Is The Case Wine Life?

(Updated 10/21/2024)

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. We never imagined a day when that would no longer be possible.

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 Gary Vaynerchuck, founder of Wine Library TV, host his 1000th episode on YouTube. He was reviewing a chardonnay that he thought was perfect for summer because it was so refreshing and quipped, "If you are about that case wine life, then you are going to want to buy a couple of cases of this for the summer." 

Our small wine shipping operation has quickly grown into a bustling business with a dedicated team, serving wine lovers across the country including at conventions and conferences--even 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 Bond, Opus One and Sassicaia in stock for you.
