Las Vegas, NV — A21 Wine and Spirits, a fast-growing wine and spirits company known for its commitment to quality, authenticity, and brand-driven growth, today announced the official formation of its national sales team, marking a major milestone in the company’s continued expansion across the United States.

The newly assembled team provides comprehensive sales coverage across key markets nationwide, strengthening relationships with distributor partners, on- and off-premise accounts, and regional stakeholders. This strategic investment reinforces A21 Wine and Spirits’ long-term vision to build enduring brands with consistent execution at the local, regional, and national levels.

“Our focus has always been on building brands the right way—market by market, relationship by relationship,” said Rob Koch, COO of A21 Wine and Spirits. “With the formation of our national sales team, we now have the structure, talent, and reach to support our partners more effectively and accelerate growth across the country.”

The national sales team brings deep industry experience spanning supplier-distributor management, retail execution, chain programming, and on-premise development. By aligning strategy at the national level while maintaining strong local market execution, A21 Wine and Spirits is positioned to drive sustainable growth and brand visibility across all channels.

This expansion supports the company’s growing portfolio of wine and spirits brands, ensuring consistent brand standards, disciplined route-to-market strategies, and enhanced support for distributor partners in every region.
