Broken Shed Vodka, New Zealand’s premium vodka and the fastest-growing vodka brand in the U.S. for three consecutive years, announced it has entered into a national distribution agreement in the U.S. with Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits (Southern Glazer’s), the world’s preeminent distributor of beverage alcohol.
Broken Shed Vodka, renowned for its smooth, crisp taste as well as its sustainable distillation methods says it is excited to work with Southern Glazer’s, according to a press release. As the largest wine and spirits distributor in the country, operating across 44 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, Southern Glazer’s will introduce the award-winning New Zealand vodka to previously untapped U.S. markets and continue to grow distribution in the existing footprint. This expansion builds upon Broken Shed’s current presence in 30 U.S. markets.
“We are thrilled to join forces with Southern Glazer’s, the country’s leading wine and spirits distributor, whose impressive distribution network and commitment to excellence align seamlessly with our company values,” said Steve Bellini, President of Broken Shed Vodka, in the release. “This agreement marks a significant achievement for our brand, empowering our strategic advancement to introduce Broken Shed Vodka to a considerably broader audience and set the stage for the brand’s future growth.”

The brand has earned an extensive collection of awards, including being recognized by the respected industry trade publication Beverage Dynamics with a “2023 Rising Star Award” in the Growth Brand Category.
Broken Shed Vodka will begin the transition in the 21 U.S. markets covered by Southern Glazer’s distribution network on Oct. 1, with national expansion to take place over the next year.
