"Choosing a wine distributor is like selecting the perfect vintage - it requires patience, knowledge, and a discerning palate. Just as you wouldn't settle for a mediocre wine, don't settle for a distributor that doesn't meet your criteria. Consider their experience, reputation, portfolio, and customer service before raising a glass to a successful partnership."

Introduction:

There are several benefits to the tiers system that support the sale and distribution of wine beverages and mandates that these beverages must travel from producers to distributors and then to retailers before being made available for purchase by the public.

However, this system requires restaurant owners to choose the right distributor.

Whether you’re nearly ready to begin working with a distributor or growing dissatisfied with your current partner, getting the right distributor is essential. 👊

1. EXPERIENCE

Does the distributor you’re looking forward to working with has experience with brands like yours? How long have they been in business?

These are both important questions to ask before selecting a wine distributor. The more experience they have, the more success you’re likely to achieve with them.

2. ACCESS

A good distributor will work with a large variety of brands and have access to thousands of different manufacturers. As a restaurant owner, you want to ensure your distributor carries a good variety of popular and emerging beverages to keep customers coming back for more. And as a business owner, you want to feel confident that your distributor can get you the right products on the shelves.

3. KNOWLEDGE

Your distributor should have a common understanding of consumer trends, especially since wine preferences constantly evolve and go in and out of style. They need to know what customers want, how they want it, and where they want it to maximize sales. Plus, the distributor also plays a significant role in marketing efforts and even helps with aisle displays, which means they need to be up-to-date with what works and what doesn’t.

4. EFFICIENCY

You can visit the distributor’s warehouse to see how and what their operations look like. Is everything safe and clean? Are the employees happy? Is the warehouse organized and operating like a well-oiled machine? How a distributor runs their warehouse can reveal what it’s like to work with them.

You need to be able to rely on them to make deliveries with speed, efficiency, and safety.
