Martignetti Liquors

Based in MA, the company operates in Massachusetts as United Liquors, Carolina Wine & Spirits, Classic Wine Imports, and Commonwealth Wine & Spirits, and in other New England states as Martignetti Companies of New Hampshire and Vermont, Rhode Island Distributing Company through a joint venture, and Maine Beverage Company, as the exclusive distributor of spirits in the state.

Martignetti Companies began as a family-owned grocery business in Boston’s North End. After the repeal of Prohibition in 1933, the Martignetti family received the first retail license for beverage alcohol in Massachusetts. Through the years, they grew their retail business to include a number of wine and spirits shops across the Boston metro area. In the 1970’s, they expanded the distribution and wholesale business, focusing on fine wines. In the ensuing years Martignetti Companies steadily grew its distribution businesses in New England through organic growth, supplier appointments and acquisitions. The portfolio has grown to encompass the broadest selection of fine wines and spirits in the marketplace, from unique artisanal producers to global leading suppliers.

Our more than 1,200 employees are highly-trained and committed to servicing the thousands of customers who depend on us for their business needs. We aim to provide our customers with the industry's leading service capabilities - best trained and product knowledgeable sales representatives, highest in-stock rate, highest level of shipping accuracy, continual sourcing of new unique high quality products, housing inventory in a state of the art temperature controlled environment.

Now in its third generation of ownership by the Martignetti family, Martignetti Companies is firmly committed to enhancing our long-term partnerships with customers and suppliers by continuing to deliver the highest quality service and brand building capabilities.
