About

Vine Connect is a fresh, modern platform created to simplify and energize the way retailers and distributors discover and order wine. Built for today’s fast-paced industry, it offers a seamless, reliable way to access exceptional wines at competitive prices—all with just a few clicks. Designed to modernize the wholesale wine buying experience, Vine Connect makes it easy to explore curated selections from around the world and get great wine delivered quickly and efficiently.

The platform is powered by Wein-Bauer Imports, a family-owned and operated wine and spirits importer based in Chicago since 1980. With deep roots in winemaking and decades of experience in the U.S. market, the Bauer family continues to lead with an entrepreneurial mindset and a personal touch. Even as the portfolio expands with premium international wines and innovative offerings, the heart of the business remains the same: a hands-on team that pulls every order by hand, builds lasting relationships, and treats every customer like family.
