wine distributor

Vineyard-to-retailer link

A wine distributor is a company or person that buys wine from producers and sells it to retailers, restaurants, and bars.

In most U.S. states, the three-tier system requires distributors as intermediaries between wineries and sellers—producers cannot sell directly to stores.

The winery signed with a new distributor to expand into the Midwest.
