Could you introduce us your company, history, and how you arrived to import wine in Russia ?

Moro group was created 25 years ago by the people who were born and grown in the wine environment. So our path in the wine business was predetermined. During this time, we have managed to become one of the leaders in the sphere of wine import and distribution in Russia, increasing the supply volume to 20 million liters per year. But first of all, we have studied perfectly  the needs of our customers - both in the b2b segment and the final consumers. We know how the market is developing and the tastes of wine lovers, and we are always ready to offer a suitable range. But the wine for us is not just  alcohol drink to accompany a dinner or a party. The wine for us is the history, the emotions and the people who are behind of the wine production. So we work only with the producers who's mentality and philosophy is closed to ours.  That's why there are no random wines in our portfolio, even the wines in the entry level – it is always careful selection and long-term cooperation with the suppliers who in the most cases become members of our big wine «family».

 

How you divide your client porfolio and sales channels ?

We have our exclusive distributors in 78 regions, we work with federal and national chains, with alco markets and HORECA.

Liquid heritage, or the challenge for cellar masters to pass on their craft
As the custodians of ancient skills and crucial link in the chain of memory, every year cellar masters craft blends that epitomise their unique house style. But their role is not just to craft wines – they are a vital cog in the wheel of knowledge sharing, training the upcoming generation to take on the mantle of ‘alchemist’ where every detail counts. We take a closer look at these ‘architects of flavour’ and key contributors to the Champagne landscape.

Georgia, where Orange is the new tack
The outstanding 2024 crop is helping Georgia recover from the challenging conditions of the previous year, with pressure from war bubbling just beneath the surface. The country’s orange wine is garnering international acclaim. In fact, Georgia secured an endorsement, not only for the colour by OIV but also a Unesco Intangible Heritage listing for this ancient form of winemaking. Despite this, orange wine accounts for just 5% of production in a country that boasts over 500 native grapevines. We focus on some of its iconic wineries.
