Key Takeaways: Wine Logistics  Andrew Walleck is the COO of Wine Access, the leading online direct-to-consumer wine platform offering the world’s most coveted wines. In the interview, Andrew and Joe discuss wine logistics and why it is so challenging. The biggest problems in regards to wine logistics and delivery are:  Every state has their own laws regulating alcohol and it’s delivery. Wine is an adult transaction so ensuring that the wine is received by an adult is critical. The quality and flavor of wine is potentially impacted by vibration, temperature, and other environmental conditions. Managing the uneven supply and demand is difficult. Wine makers take great pride in their products and they see themselves more as artisans as opposed to manufacturers – so they typically won’t rush or send wine they are not proud of.   Since wine delivery is so challenging, Wine Access has developed an online direct-to-consumer wine platform that incorporates the best practices for temperature control, security, visibility, and delivery. Wine Access makes it easy to discover and enjoy the world’s most inspiring wines through expert curation, storytelling, and perfect provenance—satisfaction guaranteed. The Wine Access Teams is headquartered in Napa, California and includes a Master of Wine, a Master Sommelier, and a selective crew of industry experts who have made in-roads in every major corner of every wine region around the globe. The company’s connections unlock access to the most exclusive wines, from first growth Bordeaux estates to Napa cult icons and exciting discoveries along the way.
