Our dedication to quality and customer satisfaction has fueled our growth, now representing over 800 esteemed manufacturers from around the globe.

Founded in 2010 by Fanny and James Tian, CWC began with a vision to share the finest wines and spirits with discerning enthusiasts. Every product bearing the CWC logo undergoes rigorous evaluation to ensure it meets our standards of excellence. With a portfolio ranging from terroir-centric wines to artisanal spirits, sake, and cider, we’re committed to offering quality at every price point.

Our roots trace back to James Tian’s entrepreneurial journey in 1987, when he first ventured to the United States and was captivated by the thriving liquor industry. Over the years, James and Fanny’s passion for wine led them to acquire ONE LEAF winery in California’s Bay Area. In 2020, their children, Calvin, Shannon, and Bryan, officially joined the family business, embodying a new generation of commitment to quality and innovation.
