About WSSA
The combined buying power of WSSA reduces costs and expands opportunities for our wine and spirits industry members.
The Wine and Spirits Shippers Association (WSSA) negotiates shipping contracts on behalf of importers and distributors in the wine and spirits industry. Our dedication to providing efficient and economical transportation by land, sea, or air, enables our members to tap into a marketplace – efficiently and affordably.
WSSA was founded by the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America (WSWA) and the National Association of Beverage Importers (NABI) in 1976 as a shipping cooperative. Today, WSSA serves as a not for profit shippers association that is managed by a Board of industry executives. WSSA combines the total volume of its member shipments to achieve preferential rates and service from each of its carriers and vendors. These rates improve the opportunities for our members to compete in the global wine and spirits marketplace.
