INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev., May 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. (Nasdaq: VWE and VWEWW) (“VWE” or the “Company”), one of the top wine producers in the U.S. with an industry leading direct-to-customer platform, today announced the appointment of Rodrigo de Oliveira as Vice President Supply Chain. Mr. de Oliveira brings deep domestic and international experience in operations/supply chain leadership, manufacturing product development, organizational restructuring, M&A integration, business turnarounds, and continuous improvements.
