About Wine Hostage Napa Valley Wine Pros Holding Award Winning Wines For Ransom

Every week, another great wine gets taken captive. And we’re the ones behind the corks.

We’re industry veterans with over 25 years in the wine business, born and barrel-raised in Napa Valley. After decades in the trade, we saw too many incredible bottles locked behind inflated price tags and velvet ropes. So we did what any self-respecting negotiators would do, we took matters (and wines) into our own hands.

At Wine Hostage, we capture premium wines directly from top wineries and offer them back to you at below-market “ransom” prices. The mission is simple: Never Pay Full Retail Again. Ever.  When you pay the ransom, you don’t just buy a bottle, you rescue it from the clutches of overpricing and release it into your glass where it belongs.

But our captives aren’t limited to big names and famous estates. We hunt far and wide for hidden gems, small-lot, under-the-radar producers making wines that deserve to see the light of day. From Napa to New Zealand, we track them down, negotiate their release, and deliver them straight to your door.

So welcome to the operation.
Pay the ransom. Free the bottle. Drink the evidence.
