We Bring Wine to Life
Wine Enthusiast was born from a passion to bring a fine wine experience to the everyday.
Our love for wine goes beyond the bottle. We value family and community. We believe wine is a conduit that brings people together and that every pour brings celebration to life’s moments, big and small. We’re a family-owned business with a big heart, led and run by wine lovers working together to create new and better ways for you to explore and enjoy the exciting world of wine.
We hope you’ll join us with glass in hand.

Wine Enthusiast Catalog
Wine Enthusiast Catalog
It started in 1979 when newlyweds Adam and Sybil Strum discovered that the best accessories, glasses and storage solutions for enjoying their growing love of wine were only available to professionals. So, they set up shop in their attic to produce Wine Enthusiast.
It was the very first mail-order catalog offering fine wine-lifestyle accoutrements to consumers and has since become a world-renowned catalog and ecommerce business.
From wine storage and furniture to glassware, gifts and accessories, we offer everything for casual drinkers and experienced collectors alike. We design and develop our own products and wine cellars and curate exclusive designs from artisans and brands around the world who share our same passion for quality, craftsmanship, and innovation.
We love sharing everything we know about wine and believe personal service is paramount. We have a U.S.-based team of Wine Storage Consultants with over 140 years combined experience dedicated to helping customers find everything from the perfect wine cellar to the perfect gift.
In 2024, Wine Enthusiast received the prestigiousB Corp Certification.The company underwent a rigorous, multi-year evaluation and met the highest standards of environmental and social performance, making decisions that protect our planet.
