How it Started

Arkansas Wine & Spirits began in 2017 after several years contemplating entering the wine and spirits category. With decades of experience in beer and non-alcoholic distribution, the decision to create a new company began as a “sure why not?” experiment. This experiment quickly blossomed into a passion project, cutting our teeth and developing our portfolio in a desired path focusing solely on wine. In 2019 we dipped our toes in the spirits category with a very generous leap of faith from our first supplier (thank you Kings County Distillery). From that point on we began in earnest to curate a portfolio of distinctive products in all categories that we saw as underserved in Arkansas. We strive to develop true partnerships with our suppliers, retailers and consumers in order to bring the highest level of service to the market. Additionally, we have given as much attention and care in the curation of our team as our portfolio; from sales, to delivery, to warehouse, to the back office. The combination of both is what gives us our unique identity. Although we are a younger distributor in our market, we have very quickly solidified ourselves as Arkansas’ premier beverage distributor through our cornerstone principles of quality, transparency, and innovation
