Erik Owens Posted January 8 Posted January 8 This morning I stumbled across a Chinese Distillery that is selling directly via a branded website: https://moutaiamerica.com/ I searched in the forum, and could not find any further information. If a Chinese Distillery is allowed to open a “Authorized U.S. Online Retailer Shop” – are all U.S. based distilleries allowed to do the same? Many U.S. based distilleries are not allowed to open authorized DTC online retailer shops. How are they able to do this?
0 JustAndy Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Moutai is the largest alcohol company in the world with a market cap of like 200 billion dollars so that might be a factor.
0 FIVE x 5 Consulting Posted January 8 Posted January 8 This is the ol' Speakeasy Switcheroo. While the website appears to be DTC, bottles are actually fulfilled by Speakeasy's network of retailers. Lots of US-based distilleries have the same thing going on... it looks like DTC but peer carefully and you will see that it is not truly DTC.
