Wine Enthusiast – October 2019

(Barry) #1

It’s Sunday night and you suddenly


remember you need a few bottles of fi ne


wine to impress some colleagues at dinner


on Thursday. You want to pick the perfect


bottles but you’re tight on time and money,


so the wine store isn’t an option. Instead


you go online, pick from a wide variety


of domestic and international wine, and


order for delivery. So in just one minute,


you’ve stocked up on crowd favorites that


your boss will love, all from your couch.


Better yet, the website also gives you wine


discounts, a personalized collection, and


a 100% guarantee. Not every online wine


store can promise these perks, but New


Jersey’s WTSO.com can.


Far from a pipe dream, this online version


of a wine lover’s fantasy off ers an elegantly


curated stream of irresistible vintages and


opens the door to new bottles that match


your tastes. The team at WTSO (Wines


‘Til Sold Out) travels the globe to hand-
pick wines, from famous selections by
some of the world’s most prestigious wine
brands to little-known treasures at local
wineries.

While WTSO has grown tremendously
in the last 14 years, it remains a cus-
tomer-driven operation at heart. Their
priority is to deliver simplicity and quality
to every visitor, which shines through
in its features and off erings: Free tem-
perature-controlled wine holds, 30+
bottles suited to your tastes off ered daily,
day-long Marathon Sales, a page for rare
high-end fi nds, a cellar of your favorites,
and themed wine packs just scratch the
surface of what they provide for each
customer.

Since 2006, CEO Joseph Arking and
his team have been using ingenuity and
tenacity to grow WTSO from its modest
origins. “We worked our tails off with a
growing team of employees,” Arking de-
clares, “many still with us.” Today WTSO
is the leader in Wine Flash Sale sites with
over 25 million bottles sold.

Unlike typical wine clubs, WTSO has
no membership fees, no deposits, and
no surprises, as every step is entirely in
your hands. Don’t like a bottle? WTSO
off ers a 100% guarantee. “If a customer
isn’t completely satisfi ed they’ll get a
refund or replacement with no questions
asked,” promises. No-risk temptations,
free shipping, wine at your doorstep on
demand — chances are, your Sunday night
just got a whole lot better. Cheers!

CEO Joseph Arking overhauled


sourcing and distribution models


to purchase on a far grander scale:


“The better the wines we offered,


the more we grew.”
