Merchant du Vin, based in Seattle, Washington, operates as a distributor and educator of traditional European beer styles. Founded in 1978 by Charles Finkel, the company concentrates on beers from England, Scotland, Germany, and Belgium and seeks to bring their flavors to American adults who historically lacked exposure to these styles. Its value lies in expanding consumer choice and facilitating the purchase of these beers through retail stores, restaurants, and bars. The business sits in the Food and Beverage Services industry with a focus on sourcing and promoting classic brews from established brewing traditions. 

Its target customers are retailers and hospitality venues seeking distinctive beer options and the knowledge to guide purchases and menus. In September 2025, media reported a partnership with the non-alcoholic brand Non, signaling an expansion beyond its core portfolio.
