Finding Distribution Channels in Japan

There are 4 distribution channels to be considered to sell your wines to the Japanese Market.
All channels can be approached through the internet. Emarketing would be the key!
  • Importers (Specialised Trading Companies)

  • *A certain quantity of wine is often required for the large trading companies, so this option may not be suitable for small wineries, whose production is limited.

  • Wholesalers

  • *Some wholesalers have a huge sales network. This option may be good for small to medium wineries.

  • Retailers

  • *Even small retail shops are now importing wines directly from overseas. Also some small shops are teamed up for bulk buying. This option may be good for small wineries.

  • Individuals

  • *Most of enquiries I receive from Japan are actually from individuals, who want to order wines directly from overseas wineries (wine shops), but don't know how.
