The specialist duty free and travel retail distributor was appointed earlier this year as the Champagne house’s global duty free partner. Red Zero 7 was set up in May 2014 and counts Hush Heath Winery, Champagne Drappier, i heart Wines and Vapestick among its client list.

Speaking to TRBusiness recently, Drappier’s Export Manager, Philippe Verrier, said: “Being in DF&TR gives us an excellent positioning and access to a new market. We are present in more than 100 countries, mainly in fine wine shops and restaurants, and we need to open a new distribution network.”
