Vintage Vine Imports

What Vintage Vine Imports does

Vintage Vine Imports (operating as The Vintage & The Vine) is a privately held US wine and spirits importer headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with 1-10 employees. The company specializes in importing wines and spirits from small-batch, craft producers worldwide and distributing them to US wholesale customers such as retailers, restaurants, and wine shops. Its stated business model is direct engagement with international producers to represent their brands in the US market, earning a margin on the products sold through wholesale channels.

The company's product portfolio is built around a small set of named producers rather than a broad catalog. Disclosed producer partnerships include Clos Figueras (Priorat, Spain), Parato (Penedes, Spain, producing cava, Tinto, and Blanco wines), and Nativ Srl (Irpinia, Italy, founded by Dr. Mario Ercolino and Dr. Roberta Pirone). The portfolio also includes the AVIATOR line from London, indicating an intent to broaden beyond wine into spirits and malt beverages. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is made available only on direct inquiry for wholesale customers.

The business operates with minimal digital infrastructure: a Squarespace-hosted website serves as the primary digital presence, and the news/blog section shows no published posts. The leadership team is led by Lucas Schiff as President. No funding rounds, parent company, subsidiaries, or institutional investors are disclosed, and the company is described as operating independently as a US-based importer focused on the small-production craft segment.
