Wine Import to the Baltics: Temperature-Controlled Deliveries from Southern Europe

Italy/France/Spain → Baltics|Regular|6-8 trucks/month

Wine is a living product. It needs stable temperature throughout transit - especially when traveling from the vineyards of Italy, France, and Spain to the Baltics. We deliver 6 to 8 temperature-controlled truckloads of wine per month, with full EAD and excise documentation handled end to end.

What happened

Baltic importers and distributors need a reliable supply of wines from southern European producers. The challenge is consistent quality - every shipment must arrive at the correct temperature, with all excise documentation ready for immediate warehouse acceptance.

What made it difficult

  • 1Temperature control +12°C to +18°C throughout 2,500+ km transit
  • 2Multiple pickup points - consolidation from several wineries in one route
  • 3EAD for each consignment within the EU excise system
  • 4Seasonal volume peaks - harvest season and holiday demand spikes
  • 5Pallet stacking limits for glass bottles - weight distribution matters

How we handled it

Dedicated reefer trucks with temperature loggers on every shipment. Consolidation routes optimized to pick up from multiple wineries across a region in a single run. EAD prepared before loading. Temperature data logs delivered to the client with each shipment as proof of cold chain integrity. Seasonal surge capacity planned months in advance.
