Drinks21 Co-Founder, Stephen Brogan commented: “We were looking for something more local, in the UK, the time was right for the former owners of the General Wine Company to exit, and we now have a new string to our bow in supplying the on-trade in the UK. We have built our specialism in importing and distribution. Our strengths are in that, but we have long standing careers in UK on-trade wholesale, and we are very excited to add this back into our business.”
