Cooperative Model
Your Success is Our Success
Our cooperative business model is built on the principles of collective ownership, collaboration, and shared success. When you become a member, you become an owner. We actively listen, seek input, and act upon it.
Unlike traditional wine fulfillment companies, our interests and goals are entirely aligned with the interests and goals of our members. We prioritize investing in you by channeling profits directly back in the form of dividends. When you join WSC, you are funding your own future and success, not a private equity firm or wealthy owner.
Our Values
We don’t just talk about being an extension of our customers, we live it. Our values are brought to life by a team that is dedicated to nurturing thoughtful relationships with members in the spirit of supporting their businesses.
S
Safety Everywhere
We believe that safety—physical and emotional—is everyone’s job.
C
Customer Centric
Our customers’ success is our success.
O
Own It
We understand that our customers’ issue is our issue, and we gladly endeavor to help solve it.
R
Respect & Connect
Respect is given, not earned.
E
Embrace the Struggle
We look at every challenge to grow and add value to our customers.
Sustainability
To help protect the ecosystems that nurture the wines you create, Wine Service Cooperative is committed to getting your product to its destination in the greenest way possible. Our initiatives include:
Eco-friendly shipping cartons made of recycled, compostable materials
Partnership with Napa True Zero Waste coupled with in-house recycling and composting to reduce waste going to landfills
