Nationwide (BlackNews.com) — Scot G. Forte, founder and CEO of Forte International Spirits Inc./Direct Distributing, is the first African-American to launch an alcohol distributing company in the state of Georgia.
The latest entrant here is Forte International Spirits Inc., a distributor located in Georgia, which is looking at serving a global market, apart from being a Black-owned business.
While there is an increasing number of Black entrepreneurs starting wine and spirits businesses, many owners face an overwhelming challenge: securing a distributor that can position their brand on the shelves of retailers so they can eventually generate a profit.
Forte International Spirits have a passion for helping new spirit producers and existing companies get their bottles on the shelf.
Forte International Spirits is not an ordinary beverage distributor.
