Privately owned E.E. Wine, founded in 1953 as a heating and air-conditioning firm, now gets two-thirds of its revenue from its roster of convenience stores (with gasoline pumps) and delivers heating oil. With oil prices soaring, revenue increased to "nearly $100 million," said President Donovan Wine, though he won't reveal profit figures. E.E. Wine added its 10th convenience store in May 2007; all are in western Prince William and Fauquier counties.
