Total U.S. sales in 2011 topped 347 million cases — some 4 billion bottles, more than a case of wine for every person in America. Estimated retail value: $32.5 billion, according to the Wine Institute, a leading source of U.S. wine information.

Harvey R. Chaplin, Chairman and CEO of Southern Wine & Spirits, Inc., sums it up Southern’s philosophy for success in the succinct phrase: “Hire the best people, compensate and treat them fairly, and success will follow.” Southern — applying this approach to all aspects of its business from its inception — has grown from its early, humble beginnings to more than 11,000 employees, over 200,000 customers, and more than 90 million cases shipped across the 35 U.S. state markets in which it operates today.
