Our goal is to entertain and educate our clients on the world of fine wines. We firmly believe in building close relationships with all of our clients by offering a personal service that other wine companies simply cannot match. The acronym in our name represents our three main suppliers Pieroth, Romanet and Piccolomini.

PRP Wine International has been sharing fine wines exclusively to our clients through fun and educational wine tastings held in their homes and offices since 1972 in the USA. PRP’s approach to creating the best in‑home experience is based on “enjoyment without risk”. PRP is dedicated to providing our exclusive wines at competitive prices, while ensuring our customers are always happy with their selections.

The way we introduce our wines to our clients is through wine tastings in private and intimate environments where the wines being poured and the information shared is based 100% on the needs of the particular group or individual wine drinkers.

We have also implemented virtual tastings into our wine program! This new addition allows clients to choose their comfort level, whether it be in‑home or virtual.

PRP Wine International is a market innovator of wine gifts for business through personalized labels and etched wine accessories. We are also involved in sharing our concept through Charity Fund Raisers and Networking events giving back to the communities that support us around the country.
