This August, the shop brought in around $10,000 less than last year, Ophoven said.\u23f8\u2587She speculates that the trend could have been driven by the summer sun arriving later than usual, regional layoffs and declining alcohol consumption. A 2025 Gallup poll found that a record low percentage of Americans, 54%, report drinking alcohol \u2014 the lowest number reported since 1939 when Gallup began
1438surverying Americans on alcohol consumption.\u23f8\u2587\u201cBecause the name of my business is Wine Shop Vashon, some people that don\u2019t drink just didn\u2019t consider coming in, although we have a huge selection of non-alcoholic drinks,\u201d Ophoven said.\u23f8\u2587High consumer prices for everyday essentials, such as gas and groceries, could also be contributing to islanders and tourists choosing to spend less on restaurant food and beverages.\u23f8\u2587\u201cLots of people simply can\u2019t afford a lot extra with so many categories of high prices,\u201d one commenter wrote on a Facebook post announcing Wine Shop Vashon\u2019s closing.\u23f8\u2587Vashon\u2019s largely seasonal economy, supported by off-island tourism during the sunny summer months, means Wine Shop Vashon often brings in a fraction of its peak-season revenues during the winter months, Ophoven said.\u23f8\u2587And as operating costs \u2014 like the price of food, wine and labor \u2014 continue to rise, Ophoven said it became increasingly difficult to withstand the slower season without a lot of buffer cash on hand.\u23f8\u2587\u201cI know now, after running this business for three years, that I can\u2019t make it through the winter without sacrificing my staff or the quality of the goods,\u201d Ophoven said. \u201cThe decision to close is based on economics.\u201d\u23f8\u2587Ophoven said she is interested in reopening the business uptown in the future, where she hopes more foot traffic could help it thrive in a new location. She said she\u2019s waiting for the right space to open up.\u23f8\u2587\u201cDuring the busy nights of First Fridays and street closures and things like that, and just when tourists come and wander around, they don\u2019t wander down to the wine shop,\u201d Ophoven said. \u201cIt can really make or break a business.\u201d\u23f8\u2587First opened in July 2020 by Julie Winters, Wine Shop Vashon initially served as a wine retailer with daily tastings.\u23f8\u2587After a nearly three-year run, Winters approached Ophoven \u2013 a longtime friend \u2014 about taking over the business.\u23f8\u2587While she was originally hesitant, Ophoven\u2019s years of experience working in the food service industry and passion for curating community spaces pushed her to say yes. Initially commuting from Seattle, Ophoven eventually moved to Vashon full-time and fell in love with the island.\u23f8\u2587\u201cOnce I got here and did this project and found this community, I was like, \u2018Oh my gosh, this is literally the most special place on earth,\u2019\u201d Ophoven said.\u23f8\u2587In the years that followed, the shop expanded into a wine bar and event venue, serving an assortment of organic, sustainably sourced, BIPOC and women-owned wines, as well as teas, coffees and snacks that patrons could enjoy in the shop, often amongst live music.\u23f8\u2587\u201cMy goal was just to create a harmonious space where people who came in felt a sense of belonging and acceptance,\u201d Ophoven said.\u23f8\u2587With leather couches, courtyard seating, and nooks and crannies for reading, working, or chatting with friends, Ophoven said the shop had a casual and comfortable feel that quickly drew regular patrons.\u23f8\u2587Regulars like Leslee Stockton said it felt like a \u201chome away from home,\u201d with a cozy living room-style feel, with all ages welcome.\u23f8\u2587\u201cIt\u2019s a place I go without needing to make a plan cause I know a friend is gonna walk through the door,\u201d Stockton said. \u201cI\u2019ve made more friends since the wine shop opened three years ago than I had since I moved here in 2013.\u201d\u23f8\u2587Many patrons, like Amanda Kelly, would bring their laptops in during the afternoons, making Wine Shop Vashon a remote work spot for some.\u23f8\u2587\u201cYou can sit wherever you want, you can stay as long as you want; it made everybody just feel relaxed,\u201d Ophoven said. \u201cThe more people came, the more people would meet other people and friendships were made.\u201d\u23f8\u2587Wine Shop Vashon frequently drew crowds with outdoor music events in its courtyard in the summer, and inside during the winter. The shop also often hosted slam poetry, all-ages open mic nights, educational series, such as \u201cgeology of wine\u201d talks with island geologist Steve Bergman.\u23f8\u2587\u201cShe really tried to bring the community together in interesting ways,\u201d Kelly, who also previously did marketing for the Wine Shop Vashon, said. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna be a real loss for the community.\u201d\u23f8\u2587Over the years, Ophoven said she felt embraced and supported by island wineries, chefs and local businesses, who helped show her the ropes as a first-time business owner and sometimes partnered with her in hosting events.\u23f8\u2587\u201cWe all kind of get pumped up by, \u2018Oh, let\u2019s do this pop-up, or let\u2019s do this event together or come to my event, I\u2019ll come to yours,\u2019\u201d Ophoven said. \u201cIt really does take a village to supp

This August, the shop brought in around $10,000 less than last year, Ophoven said.\u23f8\u2587She speculates that the trend could have been driven by the summer sun arriving later than usual, regional layoffs and declining alcohol consumption. A 2025 Gallup poll found that a record low percentage of Americans, 54%, report drinking alcohol \u2014 the lowest number reported since 1939 when Gallup began
1438surverying Americans on alcohol consumption.\u23f8\u2587\u201cBecause the name of my business is Wine Shop Vashon, some people that don\u2019t drink just didn\u2019t consider coming in, although we have a huge selection of non-alcoholic drinks,\u201d Ophoven said.\u23f8\u2587High consumer prices for everyday essentials, such as gas and groceries, could also be contributing to islanders and tourists choosing to spend less on restaurant food and beverages.\u23f8\u2587\u201cLots of people simply can\u2019t afford a lot extra with so many categories of high prices,\u201d one commenter wrote on a Facebook post announcing Wine Shop Vashon\u2019s closing.\u23f8\u2587Vashon\u2019s largely seasonal economy, supported by off-island tourism during the sunny summer months, means Wine Shop Vashon often brings in a fraction of its peak-season revenues during the winter months, Ophoven said.\u23f8\u2587And as operating costs \u2014 like the price of food, wine and labor \u2014 continue to rise, Ophoven said it became increasingly difficult to withstand the slower season without a lot of buffer cash on hand.\u23f8\u2587\u201cI know now, after running this business for three years, that I can\u2019t make it through the winter without sacrificing my staff or the quality of the goods,\u201d Ophoven said. \u201cThe decision to close is based on economics.\u201d\u23f8\u2587Ophoven said she is interested in reopening the business uptown in the future, where she hopes more foot traffic could help it thrive in a new location. She said she\u2019s waiting for the right space to open up.\u23f8\u2587\u201cDuring the busy nights of First Fridays and street closures and things like that, and just when tourists come and wander around, they don\u2019t wander down to the wine shop,\u201d Ophoven said. \u201cIt can really make or break a business.\u201d\u23f8\u2587First opened in July 2020 by Julie Winters, Wine Shop Vashon initially served as a wine retailer with daily tastings.\u23f8\u2587After a nearly three-year run, Winters approached Ophoven \u2013 a longtime friend \u2014 about taking over the business.\u23f8\u2587While she was originally hesitant, Ophoven\u2019s years of experience working in the food service industry and passion for curating community spaces pushed her to say yes.
