4 Henry Wine Group

The Henry Wine Group understands this dynamic and recognizes that successfully representing its suppliers' wine in the market demands an awareness of the subtleties of both. In order to keep up with such a diverse industry, we have developed an unprecedented combination of expertise, partnership, and technology; no other distribution company can offer such informed and flexible service.

 Our commitment to ongoing study and creativity enables The Henry Wine Group to continually advance and grow in step with the suppliers and markets we serve. This philosophy and commitment finds its guidance in an original vision of excellence. The Henry Wine Group traces its roots back to 1985, when Warner W. Henry identified a major shortcoming in fine wine marketing and distribution. He realized that the special needs of fine wine suppliers were not being met by the spirits-driven wholesale companies and decided to offer an alternative. 

Warner Henry began by founding Vintage House Distributors in southern California and eventually acquired a select group of regional fine wine companies. The merging of this collective formed a company that is now the largest importer, distributor, and broker in the United States dedicated exclusively to fine wines. Founded on a principle of specialization, The Henry Wine Group continues to expand in expertise.
