About us

Our goal is to provide an unsurpassed level of ethics, experience & conFidentiality in our services to the BRITISH COLUMBIA Wine industry.

Wine Aspect acts as an independent confidential third-party Broker. Our mission is to assist British Columbia’s licensed Wineries, Cideries, Meaderies and Distilleries with the placement and sourcing of their bulk wine and liquor products.

Our Story
‍
Wine Aspect B.C. Bulk Wine Brokers Ltd. was founded in 2012 by veteran winemaker Mark Wendenburg and his wife Jackie. The company was established to support local wineries balance their inventory needs.
‍
Having grown up cultivating vineyards on the Skaha Lake bench and working with several Wineries, Mark brought decades of hands-on cellar expertise to the table. His wife Jackie created a ethical and secure networking system to respond to the Province’s Wine Industry’s needs. In 2022, their son Austin created a website platform for wineries to easily access needed information and enable smooth transaction processes.
‍
Together, the Wendenburgs poured fourteen years of deep dedication into building British Columbia's premier bulk wine brokerage.

A New Chapter

Following retirement, a new chapter began on May 1, 2026, as ownership officially transitioned to Elaine Vickers and Terry Rigby.
‍
Elaine and Terry share the same values of integrity, confidentiality, and deep dedication to the local industry that built this company. As Wine Aspect enters this next chapter, our mission remains completely unchanged: serving the B.C. beverage community with the trusted expertise you have always relied on.
