Beverage Distribution - wine distributors


Expert: Eric Hofer - 10/7/2009

Question
hos is the wine stored at a wine distributor??

Answer
Wines are generally stored in temperature controlled conditions to prevent damage.  Product is managed through lots.  Atmosphere (humidity) etc. also needs to be controlled.  

For manufacturers own inventory, inventory might not be boxed; but held only in bottles.  While 3Ps will retain the boxes as such can be important when selling.

Inventory is generally more tightly controlled due to taxation.

Is there something in particular that you're wanting to know?
