Sunbelt Beverage Corporation
 PROFILE
Sunbelt Beverage has become one of the biggest swigs in its business. A leading wine and spirits wholesaler in a rapidly consolidating industry, the company operates through four subsidiaries: Premier Beverage (Florida), Churchill Distributors (Maryland), Ben Arnold-Sunbelt Beverage (South Carolina), and Arizona Beverage Distribution. Division management bought Sunbelt Beverage from McKesson HBOC (drugs and sundries wholesaler) and took it private in 1988 with the backing of investment firm Weiss, Peck & Greer. Herman Merinoff, owner of New York-based wholesaler Charmer Industries, has a majority stake in Sunbelt Beverage.
