Domaine Wine Shippers (D.W.S.) was started in 1977 by Gary and Yvonne Steel. In these early years of inception,the company, based out of Victoria, was known as the Importer of Champagne BILLECART-SALMON and of other premium quality French wine; primarily from the great Domaines of Burgundy. During these years Gary was also an Airline Captain with Ansett until 1989, when the Pilots Dispute ended his successful 18 year career.

Today D.W.S. represents over 25 Australian Vineyards...
