Thanks to the comprehensive general cargo network from Europe’s major wine regions to the wine hub in Gersthofen, wine merchants across Europe benefit from fast delivery times, seasonal scalability and comprehensive customs and document services. “Wine logistics is like a good cuvée: it requires tact, experience and the perfect interplay of many components. That’s exactly what we deliver with AS Wine Logistics,” emphasises Cacciola.

Process-oriented logistics with a 360° approach

In the e-commerce sector, the group handles all fulfilment processes: from interface connection to online shops, order picking and shipping to returns processing. The strategic location of many warehouse sites near freight terminals and the connection to a Europe-wide general cargo network optimise transport routes and times.
