Amazon to enter US wine market
Amazon, the world’s largest online retailer, is to start selling wine in the US, entering a business fraught with regulatory complexities and littered with the wreckage of previous failures.
Amazon is looking to recruit a senior wine buyer, whom it says will be responsible for “the acquisition of a massive new product selection” for its site. The wine sales will augment a rapidly expanding non-perishable groceries business that Amazon launched two years ago.
Welcome, Amazon! Now you’ll know that I read a lot AND drink a lot!
Can you imagine ordering a bottle of wine AND a Hemmingway collection, to enjoy at the same time!!??!
