What Distributors DoMuch of what we do involves the behind-the-scenes logistics of getting product from producers to retail stores, restaurants and taverns. Maine beer and wine distributors buy product directly from licensed producers and importers. We then stock the beer and wine in a climate-controlled warehouse facility, preserving quality and ensuring there is ample supply to meet local retailers’ needs quickly.Maine distributors use sophisticated data warehouse systems to help retailers track and order products. When an order is placed through our sales teams, products are accurately selected and carefully loaded onto a truck. Our drivers then transport the product to its destination, unload it, and help display it. The product is then served or sold to adult consumers like you. Though distribution is our primary purpose, our story encompasses much more than just wholesaling and distributing beer and wine.
