Our services

Specialized wine logistics

One logistics partner for private collections, DtC delivery, commercial wine, auctions, events, and larger freight movements.

Built specifically for wine

Wine is our focus. Our equipment, handling, routing, and communication are designed around temperature-sensitive wine shipments.

PWD combines our own refrigerated Texas fleet with carefully selected logistics partners when a shipment requires longer interstate, pallet, or intermodal transportation.

  • Own refrigerated Texas fleet. Temperature-controlled delivery for qualifying local and regional movements.
  • Wine-specific handling. Packing, labeling, hand loading, and reduced transfers where possible.
  • Shipment visibility. Tracking, customer notifications, and documented delivery.
  • Year-round operations. Refrigerated equipment supports wine transportation through Texas summer conditions.
Where we operate

Texas fleet, coordinated nationwide

Texas

PWD provides temperature-controlled delivery in Dallas-Fort Worth and Houston, with additional Texas routes available by request.

For rural Texas and destinations outside our regular refrigerated routes, wine can move through our DFW Skipping Zone for repacking, ice packs when appropriate, and delivery through an authorized parcel carrier. See DFW Skipping Zone →

Dallas-Fort WorthHoustonAdditional Texas routes

Interstate & high-volume

Longer routes, pallet freight, and qualifying rail or intermodal movements are coordinated through vetted logistics partners, with PWD handling applicable Texas legs and final delivery.

Wine Collection Moving

Moving a wine collection without risking it

Packing, inventory support, refrigerated transportation, short-term in-transit holding when needed, unloading, and cellar placement for private collectors, estates, and relocation partners.

What a move involves

A collection is not ordinary freight

Wine is heat-sensitive, fragile, heavy, and often irreplaceable. A standard moving truck can sit in the sun for hours; a general carrier may cross-dock a shipment several times. Neither is acceptable for a cellar you spent years building.

We plan the move around the wine: inventory before pickup, wine-specific packing, careful hand loading, temperature-controlled transportation, and as few transfers as possible.

We also work directly with moving and relocation companies, taking only the wine portion of a household or corporate move so the rest of the relocation can proceed normally.

Included in a collection move

  • Inventory assistance. Documentation of what is being moved before it leaves.
  • Wine-specific packing. Proper materials and labeling; we can pack, or move wine already in original wooden cases (OWC) or shippers.
  • Hand loading and unloading. Careful handling at both ends, including stairs and cellar access.
  • Temperature-controlled transport. Refrigerated equipment and temperature requirements planned for the route.
  • Short-term in-transit holding coordination. For closing-date gaps and cellar build-outs when needed.
  • Cellar placement. Unloading and placement at destination, not just a stack of boxes in the garage.

Selling a wine collection

Beyond DtC delivery

Pallet & Fulfillment Logistics

Palletized wine transportation, consolidation, and logistics support for fulfillment houses, importers, distributors, and retailers.

Inbound to Texas

Nationwide inbound wine transportation coordinated through PWD and qualified logistics partners, with receiving through DFW and local delivery by our refrigerated Texas fleet when applicable.

Refrigerated Line Haul

Qualified logistics partners provide temperature-controlled dock-to-dock transportation based on the requirements of each shipment.

Rail, Intermodal & Drayage

For qualifying high-volume shipments, PWD can coordinate rail-served receiving, intermodal drayage, and transloading through vetted logistics partners. Routing, equipment, schedule, and temperature requirements are confirmed for each shipment.

DFW Skipping Zone

Wine can arrive refrigerated at our DFW hub, where PWD can repack it, add ice packs when appropriate, and release it to an authorized parcel carrier. This reduces the parcel portion of the route and limits exposure to summer heat. More on the skipping zone →

DFW Logistics Hub

Temperature-controlled wine handling in Dallas-Fort Worth

Receiving, cross-docking, consolidation, pallet handling, short-term in-transit holding, and coordinated rail or intermodal options through our DFW logistics network.

We operate a temperature-controlled facility in DFW for receiving, consolidation, cross-docking, and short-term holding of wine in transit. For qualifying larger-volume shipments, we can also coordinate rail-served receiving, intermodal drayage, transloading, and onward transportation through vetted logistics partners.

Facility services

What happens at the DFW hub

Skipping Zone & Cross-Docking

Wine can transfer from refrigerated inbound line haul to PWD's local fleet or, when applicable, to an authorized parcel carrier. The DFW Skipping Zone shortens the parcel portion of the route and helps limit exposure to summer heat. More →

Receiving & Consolidation

Inbound pallets and cases are received, checked against paperwork, and consolidated as needed for local delivery or onward movement.

Short-Term Holding

Holding wine in transit while delivery dates, cellar access, or closing dates are confirmed.

Pallet Handling

Palletized receipt and handling for commercial volumes, including staging, repacking, and onward movement.

Rail & Intermodal Coordination

Coordinated rail-served receiving, drayage, and transloading for qualifying high-volume wine movements through vetted logistics partners.

Packing & Repacking

Wine-specific packing materials, labeling, repacking into appropriate shippers, and ice packs when appropriate for authorized parcel-carrier handoff.

Skipping zone

A Texas skipping zone for the Southeast

Our DFW hub can act as a skipping zone for shipments continuing beyond Texas. This can reduce origin-side packing requirements and shorten the parcel portion of the route.

Wine can arrive refrigerated at our DFW hub, where PWD can repack it, add ice packs when appropriate, and release it to an authorized parcel carrier. This reduces the parcel portion of the route and limits exposure to summer heat.

When combined with refrigerated line haul, the skipping-zone model keeps wine temperature controlled for a larger portion of the transportation route.

Rail & intermodal

A rail-connected option for larger wine shipments

For qualifying larger-volume shipments, PWD can coordinate rail and intermodal transportation through vetted logistics partners, including coordinated access to a rail-served DFW facility for qualifying Union Pacific-connected freight. Railroad, routing, equipment, schedule, and temperature requirements are confirmed for each shipment.

Depending on the lane and equipment, the movement can combine rail-served receiving, intermodal drayage, transloading, cross-docking, pallet handling, and refrigerated truck transportation for the next or final leg.

This option is designed for wineries, importers, distributors, fulfillment operations, and other high-volume shippers evaluating alternatives to long-haul truck-only transportation.

How the pieces fit together

  • Rail-served receiving for qualifying inbound freight.
  • Drayage between rail/intermodal terminals, warehouse facilities, and onward carriers when required.
  • Transloading between rail, truck, and warehouse operations.
  • Cross-docking & consolidation through the DFW logistics network.
  • Refrigerated local/final-mile transportation for qualifying Texas movements.

Availability depends on route, shipment volume, rail equipment, transload requirements, schedule, and required temperature conditions.

About PWD

Wine people, running wine logistics

Premium Wine Delivery® is a TABC-permitted wine carrier specializing in temperature-controlled wine transportation, collection moving, and wine logistics services. Serving the wine industry since 2016.

PWD started with a simple idea: wine deserves a delivery experience designed around the product. Conventional parcel and general-freight networks are not built around temperature-sensitive bottles, narrow receiving windows, or the expectations of premium wine customers.

Our team gained firsthand experience with conventional wine-delivery networks and saw the same recurring challenges: limited delivery visibility, broad time windows, repeated handling, summer heat exposure, and added fees.

PWD was built as the alternative. Today we combine refrigerated Texas delivery, private collection moving, DFW cross-dock and consolidation, commercial wine logistics, and coordinated interstate solutions.

What we stand for

How we work

Year-Round Temperature Control

Our refrigerated operations are designed to protect wine in Texas heat and throughout temperature-controlled transportation.

Fewer hands, fewer transfers

Direct and dedicated transportation wherever possible, with reduced handling and cross-docking.

Real communication

Scheduling that works around the recipient, live tracking, and documented proof of delivery.

Experience, press & client feedback

Partnerships, press, and what clients say

DtC Wine Flywheel

Premium Wine Delivery is named under Specialty Fulfillment in the DtC Wine Flywheel, the wine industry's map of the DtC technology and services landscape, in both the 2020 and 2021 editions.

Industry recognition

“I was blown away by Premium Wine Delivery's white glove delivery service. Unlike other delivery services, I knew exactly when the wine was coming, so I could be there to accept delivery. The communication was top-notch and unlike anything I had experienced in this space.”

Amy Gross, CEO and Founder, VineSleuth / Wine4.Me

“Texas weather extremes result in problems with quality wine delivery. The wines arrived on time and in excellent condition, each bottle cool to the touch. This company is now our preferred means of wine delivery.”
