Distribution of Wines: Old vs. New World
Wine distribution often varies depending on whether it is an old world wine or a new world wine. Old world wines, which are typically from Europe, are usually available in the country of manufacture. Among old world wines, French wine stands out as one of the most trusted and has 3-4 distribution accounts in the country.
On the other hand, new world wines, such as Australian wine, have a different distribution system. In Australia, wine shelves are organized in a specific way, with only Australian wine being the customary choice. This attention to detail reflects the seriousness with which the nation approaches its wine distribution.
