South Korean conglomerate SK Group plans to close the wine import and distribution offices it runs in China via a subsidiary company, according to three industry sources. Word is the company’s winery partners have already been informed of the news. One brand rep told me he is now seeking a new distributor. Another source says SK plans to sell its remaining stock and end its physical presence in China by closing its Shenzhen and Shanghai offices in the fall.
