Great Lakes Wine & Spirits and Plum Market have shared a symbiotic relationship for years. We rely on GLWAS to be our key supplier, and their range of products is unequaled. The leadership is outstanding and committed, and their level of service and attention to detail are excellent.
Marc JonnaCo-Founder Plum Market
We've been a customer of GLWAS for over a decade. Their portfolio has a fantastic range of quality wine from widely recognized labels to the exquisite hard to get. We also really appreciate all of their mixers, vermouths, ready to drink cocktails and seltzers, and non-alcohol options for our customers. From the drivers to the sales representatives to the managers, we've been very happy with the reliability of our deliveries and high caliber of customer service. As a team, they absolutely go the extra mile.
