Sales: $17bn, 44 states, District of Columbia Key brands: E&J Gallo, Skinnygirl, Kosta Browne, LVMH, Louis Latour Southern Glazer’s was formed in 2016 when Miami-based Southern Wine and Spirits, the biggest wholesaler in the US, merged with Dallas-based Glazer’s, then the fourth-biggest distributor. It was an unprecedented move, even for the rapidly consolidating US wholesale business. The combined company, with 20,000 employees, sells more than 150m cases of wine and spirits, controls almost one-quarter of the market, and covers nearly 90% of the US drinking age population. It’s so big that it’s the seventeenth-largest company on Forbes’ list of the top 25 privately held US firms. The key to the merger was consolidation among suppliers, who wanted distributors who were big enough to handle their business more effectively and more efficiently. One result of the merger: The new company picked up Bacardi’s portfolio, worth $1.3bn, and which included its namesake rums, Dewar’s scotch, Grey Goose vodka, and the Martini & Rossi sparkling wines. As of August 1st 2025, SGWS now proudly represents the full Brown-Forman portfolio which includes Jack Daniel’s, Herradura, El Jimador, Woodford Reserve, Old Forester and others. Additionally, we are excited to announce that we will begin representing Korbel California Champagne.
