Introducing NZ Top Shelf
We are thrilled to introduce NZ Top Shelf, the ultimate home for NZ spirits. This platform will be a comprehensive guide where all NZ spirits are listed, providing education, inspiration, news and the ability to purchase, rate, and review products.
Platform Features and Benefits
Free Listings: Every distillery and product will be listed for free, creating the NZ Spirit Guide. Listings will feature minimal information and customer feedback star ratings, allowing consumers to mark off the spirits they’ve sampled.
Enhanced Listings: For $299+GST per year, we offer detailed listings with comprehensive information about your distillery, customer ratings and reviews, ideal Alchemy & Tonic pairings, and cocktail recipes
Full E-Commerce Listing (Enhanced listing free): We want to create a platform with the largest selection of NZ Spirits. We will do this through a combination of consignment and dropshipping of your products.
Selling on Behalf: For smaller distilleries wanting to minimise compliance costs, we can sell directly to customers from your website to ours, eliminating the need for a Remote Liquor Licence.
How It Works
Free Listings: Basic information and customer feedback.
Enhanced Listings: Detailed profiles, pairings, and recipes.
Full ecommerce package (Enhanced listing free) We sell your products through our ecommerce store either by drop shipping or holding stock on consignment. Consignment stock will be displayed as Express Shipping (dispatched by NZ Top Shelf by the next business day) and Drop Shipping will be displayed as standard shipping (dispatched by distillery within 3 working days) on our website so customers have an expectation on dispatch times. You set the RRP and we add $5 on top of all bottles to cover incidentals. We will charge the customer $10 for shipping
Dropship Spirits (Standard Shipping): We take a 20% commission off RRP. You send the stock and we give you $10 freight for the first bottle. Any subsequent bottles in the same order paid at RRP less commission.
Consignment Spirits (Express Shipping): We hold stock and cover freight to customers, taking a 20% commission off RRP.
A buyer created invoice will be generated with payment made in 14 days of sale.

Next Steps
Ready to get started? Simply fill out the form below.
For Existing Distilleries, We need to ensure your information is up to date. First check your listing on ratings.nztopshelf.com If you were part of Gintastic, your cocktails will be listed but ignore those for now. We will come back to those later. Please email us with any changes to your distillery or spirits listing, your type of listing selection, and where to send the Alchemy & Tonic products.
For New Distilleries, We will be in contact with you, and discuss what information you would like us to showcase on the website.
Join us as we embark on this exciting journey to promote and celebrate the NZ spirits industry. We look forward to fostering a partnership that will benefit us all.
