Calabria Family Wine Group has brought its domestic distribution businesses together under the House of Fine Wine name, consolidating the portfolios and teams of Calabria Family Wine Group, House of Fine Wine and The Wine Company into a single market-facing platform.

The move follows the group’s acquisition of House of Fine Wine and The Wine Company in February and is designed to create a more streamlined point of engagement for the market across on-premise and independent retail channels.

Calabria Family Wine Group said there will be no changes to ownership, customer relationships, supply arrangements or trading terms as a result of the transition.

Sales & Marketing director and third-generation family member, Andrew Calabria, said the consolidation reflects the group’s long-term ambition for a scalable distribution model.

“This is a natural and exciting next step following our recent acquisitions. By bringing our distribution businesses together under the House of Fine Wine name, we’re creating greater clarity for the market while building a platform that supports growth, investment and long-term partnerships, all while remaining proudly family owned,” Calabria said.

Indevin Group CEO, owner of the Villa Maria brand, Simon Limmer, said the unified platform would support the brand’s continued growth in Australia.

“Calabria Family Wine Group brings deep market expertise, with a strong distribution platform that ensures greater consistency in how brands are represented. We’re confident this next phase will strengthen execution for Villa Maria in Australia and support continued investment in long-term brand building with the trade,” Limmer said.

Established in 2017, House of Fine Wine represents a portfolio of fine wine and Champagne across on-premise and independent retail.
