Barrels & Bottles

Selling liquor in Sandton isn't straightforward—you're managing temperature-sensitive stock in a climate that swings from summer heat to load shedding blackouts, handling impulse purchases alongside serious collectors, and balancing foot traffic from office workers grabbing a bottle after hours with planned events requiring full orders. The logistics matter: keeping wine at the right temperature without reliable electricity, sourcing stock that reflects both international demand and South African craft producers, managing inventory across premium and everyday ranges. It's a business that requires understanding both the immediate needs of a busy suburb and the patience to build relationships with customers who plan ahead.
