About Us

Options Wine Merchants Pty Ltd is responsible for distributing some of the world's most respected and sought-after wines to the trade. We differentiate ourselves with our innovation, organisational culture and quality service.

The company has established its head office and warehouse in the former Haussen and Co Brewery, two kilometers from the CBD in the suburb of Hindmarsh.

Options has commissioned a fleet of refrigerated vehicles - the first of their kind in Australia for wine transport direct to the retail and 'on premise' customer. We employ the most up to date technology available to keep both our winery principals and customers informed via our integrated reporting systems and website.

Creating the right culture in a business is something that often eludes larger businesses, so we see this as a prime differentiator. We believe over time we have established an excellent culture with our foundation values being integrity, respect, trust, excellence, open communication and teamwork.

We pride ourselves on our customer service and always try to exceed expectations. Orders are nearly always delivered same or next day, often within hours. We have a team of exceptional sales representatives who are respected by their peers.

History and Achievement

Options Wine Merchants was incorporated in 1994 and has grown into the largest independent wine and craft beer distributor in South Australia.

We attribute the company's ongoing success to its major focus on the 'on premise' sector which we feel is the "shop window for the brand".

We recognise the significant impact restaurants, hotels and clubs have in marketing wines to the consumer, and we have structured our business operations accordingly. We set ourselves apart from our competition by building up relationships with our customers so that we enhance the reputation and profile of both our company and the wineries we represent.
