Eligibility

Business and buyer requirements

Who can enquire and what company information is needed.

Who can purchase wholesale beer from WooveBeer?

WooveBeer supplies registered businesses and professional buyers on a B2B basis. Typical customers include wholesalers, distributors, supermarket groups, retail chains, hospitality companies and export traders. Visit Industries We Supply for buyer-specific information.

Do you sell beer to private consumers?

No. WooveBeer is not a consumer beer shop and does not process residential or personal-use orders. Enquiries must relate to a legitimate business purchase and delivery arrangement.

Which company details are required?

Provide the legal company name, registration information, business address, contact person, delivery address and VAT or EORI details where applicable. Additional evidence may be requested depending on the buyer, destination and transaction structure.

Where is WooveBeer registered and where are orders fulfilled?

The legal entity is LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY “WOOVE,” registration number 46329225, with its registered office in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Confirmed European orders are prepared through the fulfilment location at Rögelein GmbH, Turbinenstraße 17, 70499 Weilimdorf, Germany. See the Company page for the full registered address.

Portfolio

Wholesale beer products and brands

Availability, packaging and product-selection questions.

Which international beer brands can I request?

The portfolio includes brands such as Heineken, Estrella Damm, Corona, Budweiser, Guinness, Peroni, Carlsberg, Stella Artois, Pilsner Urquell and Krombacher. The Wholesale Beer Brands hub links to the current brand pages. A page does not guarantee live stock; the quotation confirms the available SKU and quantity.

Which beer packaging formats are available?

The primary supply formats are cans and glass bottles. Common market sizes may include 330 ml and 500 ml, but units per case and cases per pallet vary by brand and SKU. Selected alcohol-free products or keg requirements can be assessed when available. Review Wholesale Beer Products and Packaging Formats for complete guidance.

Are alcohol-free and low-alcohol products available?

Selected alcohol-free or low-alcohol variants may be available for particular brands and markets. Include the exact product and preferred packaging in your enquiry so availability and destination suitability can be checked.

Can I rely on website images as the exact product specification?

Images illustrate the relevant brand or product family. Packaging design, language, case count and market version can vary. Only the product description and specification confirmed in the quotation and order documents apply to the transaction.

What shelf life will the products have?

Shelf life varies by product, batch and dispatch date. Where required, ask for the applicable minimum remaining shelf life before approving the quotation. Do not assume that one shelf-life figure applies to every beer SKU.

Order planning

Minimum order, pallets and pricing

How quantities and commercial offers are prepared.

What is the minimum order for wholesale beer?

The standard starting order is two complete pallets. Product availability, whether multiple SKUs can be combined, pallet construction, route feasibility and final quantities are confirmed in the written quotation. Read the complete Minimum Order policy.

Does the minimum order mean two pallets per brand?

Not automatically. The standard order starts from two complete pallets, but brand allocation and whether products may be combined depend on stock and operational feasibility. The quotation confirms the permitted configuration for the requested products.

Can mixed-brand or mixed-SKU pallets be arranged?

Mixed configurations may be possible for selected products, but they are not guaranteed. Send the preferred brands, SKUs and quantities so the warehouse configuration and commercial practicality can be assessed.

How many cases are loaded on one pallet?

There is no universal case count. Pallet construction depends on can or bottle size, units per case, packaging dimensions, load limits and the brand’s supply configuration. The applicable case and unit totals are confirmed in writing.

Why are fixed wholesale beer prices not displayed?

Pricing depends on the brand, specific SKU, available quantity, order volume, delivery destination, transport arrangement and current commercial conditions. See Pricing and Pallets, then request a written quotation for an order-specific price.

Do you handle full truckload orders?

Full truckload requirements can be assessed for larger purchases. Provide the brands, formats, anticipated volume and destination so product allocation, load planning and route feasibility can be reviewed.

Commercial terms

Payment and order confirmation

The payment structure currently used for pallet orders.

What payment terms apply to orders below ten pallets?

Orders of one to nine pallets require 100% payment against invoice before order release. Because WooveBeer’s normal MOQ starts from two pallets, this policy generally applies to confirmed orders between two and nine pallets.

What payment terms apply from ten pallets?

For orders of ten pallets or more, the standard structure is 50% initial payment and 50% after readiness confirmation and before dispatch. Any transaction-specific variation must appear in the written quotation or invoice.

How are payment instructions verified?

Use only the beneficiary and banking information shown on the verified company invoice. If payment instructions appear to change, stop and confirm them directly through sales@woovebeer.com before transferring funds. Read the complete Payment Terms.

Can an order be changed after approval?

Requested changes are subject to product preparation status, stock, transport commitments and written acceptance. Do not assume a change or cancellation is effective until it has been confirmed in writing. The applicable contractual provisions are provided in the Terms and Conditions.

Fulfilment

Shipping, destinations and delivery

How orders move from German fulfilment to the agreed destination.

Which countries can WooveBeer supply?

Europe and the United Kingdom are the primary target markets. Selected international routes may be assessed individually. Supply is never assumed solely because a country is listed on the website; product eligibility, buyer status, transport and destination requirements must first be confirmed. Browse the Wholesale Markets hub.

How long does wholesale beer delivery take?

Delivery time depends on product readiness, order volume, destination, route, carrier schedule and completion of the agreed commercial steps. The relevant estimate is provided with the quotation or shipment confirmation rather than presented as one universal promise.

Is transport included in the product price?

Only when the written quotation expressly includes it. Product value, freight, applicable taxes, duties, deposits and destination charges should be reviewed as separate commercial elements. The quotation states the agreed scope and buyer responsibilities.

Can buyers arrange their own collection or freight?

A buyer-managed transport arrangement may be considered where operationally suitable. Collection authority, loading schedule, carrier details, documents, risk allocation and the agreed delivery term must be confirmed before collection.

What should I do when the shipment arrives?

Check the pallet count, visible packaging condition and shipment references before accepting delivery. Record visible loss or damage on the transport document and notify the carrier and WooveBeer promptly with photographs and supporting details. See Shipping and Logistics for further guidance.

Trade controls

VAT, excise and commercial documents

Transaction-specific compliance and buyer responsibilities.

Which documents may accompany an order?

Depending on the transaction and route, the document set may include a commercial invoice, packing information and applicable transport references. Excise, customs or other route-specific documents are handled according to the confirmed transaction structure. The quotation process identifies what is applicable; no single document list covers every shipment.

Do you always issue a CMR or e-AD?

No universal promise should be made. A CMR relates to qualifying international road transport, while an e-AD is connected to relevant movements through the EU Excise Movement and Control System. The document used depends on the transport mode, excise status, route and responsibilities agreed by the parties.

Do I need a VAT number or EORI number?

The requirement depends on the buyer, destination and movement of goods. Provide any existing VAT and EORI details with the enquiry. Buyers remain responsible for maintaining the registrations, authorisations and professional advice required for their activities.

How are VAT and excise handled?

VAT and excise treatment depends on the transaction structure, destination, buyer status and applicable law. The commercial setup must be reviewed before confirmation. WooveBeer does not present one tax treatment as suitable for every order. Read the Compliance page for the general process.

Do deposit-return schemes such as German Pfand apply?

Deposit and packaging obligations depend on the product, destination and route to market. Buyers should not assume that the German deposit system automatically applies—or does not apply—to a cross-border order. The relevant packaging and destination requirements must be reviewed for the confirmed transaction.

Who is responsible for local alcohol resale requirements?

The buyer is responsible for confirming that it may import, receive, store and resell alcohol in the destination market, including licensing, age restrictions, labelling, deposits, tax and reporting requirements applicable to its business.
