Before you come into the branch, make sure you have all the information you’ll need to complete the transfer. You can set up a wire transfer at any branch. You can arrange a wire transfer at any Vancity branch and expect the funds to arrive within 3 to 5 business days. You can send money within Canada or internationally, in Canadian funds or another currency. You have to expect to pay more for a wine of this age, but for my money, I think the 20-year-old offers the best bang for the buck.As a Vancity member, you can transfer funds quickly and securely to just about anyone, anywhere.

They offer wines from: Argentina, Australia, Chile, England, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Spain and the United States. Select Wines is one such agency and I was fortunate enough to be invited to a portfolio tasting. If all goes well, it is the beginning of a long and happy relationship. If they are successful that agency adds it to their portfolio and then markets it to the LDB, private stores and appropriate bars and restaurants. They might travel here and attend trade tastings with the hope that a local agency will like their product and see a niche for it in terms of variety, style, quality or price. Say a wine producer in Germany wants to sell their wines in BC. Have you ever wondered how it got from there to here? And why that wine and not another? After all, no wine store could ever carry every wine, no matter how big it was. Do you have a favourite imported wine? Perhaps one from Italy, Australia or France.
