Meet Yours Non-Alcoholic Wine

The business behind the growth.

Kelly Berthog and his wife decided to unpalletize 10 pallets of non-alcoholic wine in their driveway, carry each 37-pound case into their house one by one, and turn their garage into a fulfillment center. When their first holiday season hit, the single-car garage became a cardboard fortress. At WareSpace, they found a space that could grow from startup chaos to nationwide distribution without missing a beat.

Before WareSpace

the driveway disaster

When their first production run arrived as 10 pallets, the minimum order, they had nowhere to store it, so they unpalletized everything in their driveway and hand-carried each case inside.

Their garage became fulfillment headquarters, and then their first holiday season hit and demand exploded beyond anything a one-car garage could handle.

“We have one car garage at home, and so it was just absolutely covered in boxes and tape and wine, and it just wasn't working, and so we knew we needed something fast.”
Kelly Berthog, Yours Non-Alcoholic Wine

Making the Switch

a drive-by discovery

Kelly spotted the WareSpace sign while driving past the construction site. Most places they'd researched required 3 to 5 year leases with complete build-outs.

WareSpace offered a turnkey solution with flexible lease terms. They toured and signed the same day, becoming one of the first tenants in the building.

Where They Are Now

built to scale

Garage chaos evolved into a sophisticated operation handling everything from single-bottle DTC orders to multi-pallet wholesale shipments and Amazon FBA. By May of their first year they'd expanded to a second unit.

The space lets them run professional vendor meetings in conference rooms in the morning and music-blasting fulfillment in the afternoon, with climate control protecting hundreds of thousands of dollars of inventory.

“We can do the direct consumer stuff, make sure it goes out each and every day. We can schedule deliveries, use the jacks, use the loading docks, get those pallets out the door as well. We have really everything we need here to get packages out the door from a single bottle to a thousand bottles at a time.”
