Wine, run as a P&L, not a passion project.
Wine is too financially important to be handled by habit. Most venues are leaking money in four places at once: wine cost running too high against beverage revenue, margin no one’s watching, cash tied up in dead stock, and a manager spending paid hours buying wine they were never trained to buy. A managed program closes all four, accountable for the numbers, not just the taste.
The wines in my portfolio earned their place because our goal is the same: a list that makes money, fits your menu, and pours stories no one down the street can get.
As a fully licensed wine agency and importer in British Columbia and Alberta, Carpa Vino handles the complex logistics of liquor clearance, BCLDB/AGLC compliance, warehousing, and private order management. We bridge the gap between global artisan winemakers and premium Western Canadian hospitality venues.
Just good wine.
Wine is a little like love; when the right one comes along, you know it.
