Winter Wine Program

Avoid popped corks and frosty wine with a smarter cold-weather shipping approach.

WSSA designs the Winter Wine Program to help maintain the temperature integrity of wine shipments during the coldest months. 

Albatrans International Freight Forwarders executes the logistics, providing the coordinated handling and transport needed to keep cargo within the appropriate temperature range from origin to destination.

  • Ship your wine in a standard container during ocean transit, with optional thermal insulation. Ocean temperatures are typically moderate, reducing exposure risks.
  • Once the cargo arrives at a designated warm-weather port, Albatrans arranges seamless trans-loading into a heated trailer.
  • Your wine then moves overland through winter conditions while staying within the proper temperature range until it reaches your warehouse.

For warmer seasons, Albatrans also provides temperature-controlled container options to help safeguard shipments from excessive heat.

Groupage

Albatrans LCL Groupage Services

Smart, Seamless Shipping for Smaller Loads

Albatrans delivers specialized LCL groupage services designed to keep your supply chain flexible, and fully supported – no matter the size of your shipment.

By consolidating cargo from multiple shippers into shared containers, Albatrans ensures your products move reliably from origin to destination with the same care and coordination given to full-load freight. Within the program:

  • Importers shipping from common origins share container space, with Albatrans coordinating consolidation into standard containers. 
  • Thermal blankets can be applied to palletized cargo for added protection when temperature sensitivity is a concern – simply request this option when arranging your shipment. 
  • Shipments can move door-to-door under Albatrans’ management, or you may choose to collect your goods from a designated deconsolidation warehouse. 

With dedicated global lanes, expert handling, and end-to-end visibility, Albatrans provides a streamlined solution for importers and exporters who need consistent departures without committing to a full container. From palletized wine and spirits to specialty goods requiring extra attention, our groupage network keeps your business moving with confidence.
