The leading online wine destination, wine.com, and the world’s largest web portal for beer, Realbeer.com (www.realbeer.com), today announced an agreement under which exclusive beers sourced by Realbeer.com will be delivered to consumers through the distribution network which now fulfills wine orders placed through wine.com. “The high quality of our online consumer experience is matched by the high standards of our order fulfillment system,” said Bill Newlands, president and CEO of wine.com. “This agreement leverages our expertise in managing a fully-compliant system for delivering alcoholic beverages to American consumers and makes good economic sense for both companies.” “We believe that wine.com has done a great job in developing a viable delivery system in a challenging environment,” stated Robert Imeson, president of Realbeer.com. “This agreement will allow us to focus our efforts on sourcing the world’s most exotic beers for members of our exclusive club, The Michael Jackson Real Beer Tour. It will also provide us with the opportunity to continue to develop a vibrant and exciting e-store which will be stocked with some of the world’s best, yet hardest to find, beers.”
