Beverage wholesale trade
German: Getränkefachgroßhandel Also known as: Getränkegroßhandel, Getränkegroßmarkt
A wholesaler that supplies restaurants, retailers and event organisers with beverages in bulk and takes back empties.
Beverage wholesalers link breweries, spring-water bottlers and other producers with restaurants, retailers and event organisers. They keep a broad range in stock, store goods in large quantities and deliver with their own vehicles.
Besides selling beverages, they typically offer further services: taking back and sorting empties, renting out draught systems, glasses and festival furniture, and advising on range and terms. Many are regionally rooted and tied to breweries through long-standing supply relationships.
