Trade

Which are you?

Either you want our brands on your shelf, or you have made something you want on everyone else's. Pick one and we will only ask for what we need.

For the trade Stock our brands Retail, restaurants, bars and hotels. One account, the whole portfolio, one delivery — anywhere in South Africa. Open an account For brand owners Bring us yours A route into South Africa for a drink worth arguing about. Tell us about it

Stock our brands

Tell us where you are and what you sell, and the right person comes back to you rather than a generic inbox.

What happens next

  1. We call you

    To work out what actually suits your venue, rather than sending the whole list.

  2. We open the account

    Paperwork, licence check, and we agree your delivery days. Our own fleet runs the Western Cape; everywhere else goes out on carriers we use regularly.

  3. You order from one place

    Beer through to soft drinks, on one invoice.

What you would be carrying

  • Beer3
  • Cider1
  • Hard iced tea1
  • Spirits6
  • Vermouth1
  • Wine1
  • Soft drinks1

We reply within two working days. You must be 18 or older and hold a valid liquor licence to trade in alcohol.

Bring us yours

We take on a small number of new brands a year. We are more interested in whether the drink is good and the story is true than in how big you already are.

What helps

  1. What it is, and who drinks it

    The drink itself, and any market where it already works.

  2. What you can actually supply

    Volumes and lead times. A brand we cannot keep in stock helps nobody.

  3. Who holds the rights

    Whether anyone already represents you in South Africa.

Every brand on our list arrived this way. Rekorderlig came from Sweden, Sango is agave grown in Africa — we are not precious about where a good drink is from.

We read everything. If it is a fit we will ask for samples.
