General Questions
US Natural Wine is a virtual bottle shop headquartered out of Austin, TX. We are a small, family team hand-picking, packaging, and shipping our favorite- majority domestic- wines directly to you. Our goal is to highlight US-based winemakers while partnering with some incredible people in the industry to bring you the best domestic selection you can find online. We also carry incredibly unique wines from around the world. Highlighting these underrepresented people and regions allows us an opportunity to share wines outside of the "mainstream".
We believe in community and want that quality to shine through in every facet of our platform. We are nothing without the knowledgeable winemakers, shop owners, local distributors, and enthusiasts we’ve teamed up with. With US Natural Wine, every winery is your local winery.
