ABOUT US
We understand and recognize that establishing and maintaining a positive and professional reputation and trust-based working relationships with our colleagues, wineries and clients are crucial to ensuring a successful business.
At Frequent Pour : Your Liquid Allies, we pride ourselves on carrying a smaller portfolio than most, we feel this provides us with a considerable advantage, allowing a more in-depth focus on your product development and strategic placement within the Alberta and British Columbia markets.
Demonstrating this, Frequent Pour conducts a custom marketing plan that we share before the distribution of your products commences. We appreciate the crucial importance of market research and clear communication to obtain the best results.
