Russian Post prepared facilities for the sale of wine.
The operator is ready to experiment with retail sales of local products through its website in Moscow and the Moscow region. So said the head of the Russian post, Mikhail Volkov, who spoke in the State Duma. The meeting was attended by Deputy Minister of Finance Alexey Szanov, who said that online sales of alcohol in this format will not lead to an increase in alcohol consumption. He added that the trial could end sooner than three years if the results are negative.
The chairman of the State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, said that the experiment is not planned to expand to the market; this is the principled position of the lower house of the parliament.
