Join us at WineCollective… for real, we’re hiring!

There are thousands of wines and craft beers available in the Canadian market from around the world on any given day. How do you choose what to try next? We were tired of rolling the dice at the liquor store. WineCollective does all the hard work for you. We try hundreds of wines and craft beers each and every month, and then ship them to our club members. It may sound like fun to try all that wine and beer (which it is), but it’s also serious work.
