Southern Wine & Spirits of America, Inc.
 PROFILE
Fueled by alcohol and nicotine, Southern Wine & Spirits of America delivers market dominance. The firm is the #1 US distributor of wine and spirits, serving nine states. In addition to importing and distributing wine and spirits, it distributes imported brews, such as Grolsch and Steinlager; cigars, such as Don Diego and Montecristo; and nonalcoholic beverages, including Clamato and Rose's Lime Juice. It is entering new markets through acquisitions. Southern Wine & Spirits lobbied and stopped mail-order companies from shipping wine to Florida. Chairman and CEO Harvey Chaplin and his secretive family own more than 50% of the company.
