Supplier diversity is vital to the industry

We are bolstering the businesses of minority-owned suppliers. If you represent a minority-owned wine or spirit brand, we need to talk.

New Supplier Inquiry

Our ultimate goal, as for all Southern Glazer’s suppliers, is to drive commercial success and growth for an expanded portfolio of diverse-owned brands. Brand New, our supplier evaluation process, is just one of the innovative approaches we take to find the brands that directly align with emerging consumer trends.

We are looking for diverse brands


Whether you produce wine, spirits, CBD, or a category adjacent non-alcoholic beverage, Southern Glazer’s is committed to engaging with more diverse-owned brands like you. We know that diverse-owned distillers and wine producers are underrepresented in the industry because of historically lacking access to networks, representation, and industry tools and resources. We want to, and are working hard to change that.
