Enterprise freight pricing for Australia’s wine industry – International Services
Rising freight costs are placing unprecedented pressure on wineries of all sizes. The Wine Logistics Advantage Program has been established to provide approved wine businesses access to commercially negotiated carrier rates, normally reserved for high-volume shippers.
By aggregating wine industry volumes, the program delivers material freight savings, improved cash flow, and operational certainty—without locking members into exclusivity or long-term contracts.
Why the Program Exists
Global carriers price freight based on scale, frequency, and commercial risk. Wine industry business and independant wineries — shipping at varying intervals—may not benefit from enterprise pricing structures.
The Wine Logistics Advantage Program bridges that gap.

Approved members may access discounts of up to 70% off published carrier rates, depending on lane, service level, and shipment profile.
✔ 30-Day Payment Terms

✔ No Volume Lock-Ins
No forced minimums, no exclusivity, and no disruption to your existing dispatch operations.
