Amazon are getting into the own brands Wines and Sprits business with the launch of their Amazon Wines Compass Road vintage in Germany. Described as ‘a selection of simple yet savory wines at affordable prices’, they are available exclusively at Amazon.de/compassroad.
Amazon say that the range will be expanded over time. The price per wine package with six bottles (6 x 0.75 l) is €19.99 euros and Compass Road wines are available to Prime members via free premium shipping.
There are hundreds of Amazon Own Brands and Private Labels, and Compass Road is just the latest addition to the Amazon retail arsenal. The expected range expansion will only happen if Amazon Wines are successful – Amazon have zero tolerance for the Amazon Own Brands which fail to perform and will have no hesitation in pulling the range if it’s not selling. However if it proves to be a success then expect not only for the range to be expanded but for it also start to appear on Amazon’s other EU country sites.
