Overview
Wine Energy delivers heating oil and other petroleum fuels to homes and businesses across Northern Virginia. Beyond fuel, its HVAC division installs and repairs heating and air conditioning systems, and its Crystal Clean Duct Service unit cleans air ducts and dryer vents for residential and commercial customers. A retail division runs Wi-Not Stop gas stations and convenience stores in Prince William and Fauquier counties, some with delis serving fresh pizza, chicken and burgers. The company earns money from fuel deliveries, heating and cooling service work and in-store sales. It began in the early 1960s with heating oil accounts handed over by Humble Oil and is headquartered in Manassas, Virginia.
