Winelivery mania

After five years of success, the Winelivery home delivery app for wines, beers and drinks, took the first steps towards stock exchange listing in January and has now surpassed all growth expectations.

“No one was expecting the lockdown and we were totally unprepared for the crazy surge in orders we received. After the first week of lockdown we saw 25% growth in orders, by the end of the second week demand was ten times higher still (+250%),” said the managers of the Italian start-up.

To meet orders, Winelivery has reorganised its entire operations, recruited staff for deliveries and customer support in compliance with health measures, adapted its offices, doubled the number of drivers and extended deliveries to new cities. The company’s pre-pandemic goal had been to open in 25 Italian cities by the end of the year but it now expects to achieve this by the end of May.
