 The
Society of Vintners Ltd - A National Wine Buying Group, is
a consortium that has 19 members covering the whole
of the British Isles.
The
majority of Society Member companies are family-owned
independent enterprises whose owner-managers have decided to band
together with like-minded entrepreneurs
operating broadly similar
companies. The objective is to obtain competitive rates for an
interesting and satisfying range of wines which are offered exclusively
for
sale
through the
consortium's network.
This
emphasis on near-exclusivity is a major point of difference (treasured
by the Members) between the national operators and the independent
members of the consortium.
One
member accepts the responsibility for negotiating with potential
suppliers from a particular wine producing region and offers to
the full committee a variety of recommended options.
After
much deliberation based on the interface of price, quality and
service, decisions are made to stock and sell preferred wines through
the members' network.
Shipping
is carried out extensively from France, Italy, Germany, Portugal
and Spain and also direct from
Australia, South Africa and Chile.
Continuity
is vital to many members and providing that the product range and
presentation is suitably refreshed, many of the supply deals become, de
facto, long term reliable contracts.
