現(xiàn)年68歲的韋恩·卓別林是南部格雷澤葡萄酒與烈酒有限責任公司的首席執(zhí)行官,。這家估值260億美元的公司是美國同類公司中銷售量最大的一家公司，總部位于邁阿密,，《福布斯》雜志的排行榜里,，這家公司被列為美國第十大私營公司,。這家公司運營的品牌超過7000個,，在美國44個州以及哥倫比亞特區(qū)都有業(yè)務,。
卓別林的父親哈維今年6月去世，哈維在1968年創(chuàng)立了南部葡萄酒與烈酒公司,。
南部格雷澤公司則是在1909年成立于德克薩斯州,，韋恩·卓別林于1984加入該公司。兩家公司在2016年合并后,，韋恩·卓別林出任首席執(zhí)行官,。
韋恩·卓別林在接受《山肯新聞日報》采訪時告訴馬文·R·山肯（同時也是雪茄愛好者雜志的老板），我經(jīng)常想起1968年父親創(chuàng)建南部葡萄酒與烈酒公司之處的艱難,，當時公司面對很多自有禁酒令以來就存在的競爭對手。公司每一次重大決策,，都是擲色子似的碰運氣,，公司一直一步步堅持在投資農場進行布局，才達到今天公司這個令人難以置信的經(jīng)營局面,。
聊到最喜歡的雪茄,，韋恩·卓別林表示喜歡小支一些的古巴雪茄,，比如帕特加斯的D系列6號。

Wayne Chaplin, 68, is the CEO of Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits LLC. The $26 billion corporation, based in Miami, is the largest distributor of its kind in the United States, ranked by Forbes magazine as the 10th largest private company in the country. It moves more than 7,000 brands and operates in 44 states, plus the District of Columbia.
Southern Glazer’s was formed in the 2016 merger between Southern Wine & Spirits—founded in 1968 by Chaplin’s father, Harvey, who passed away in June—and Glazer’s Inc., which traces its roots back to Texas in 1909. Wayne Chaplin, who joined Southern in 1984, became chief executive officer of Southern Glazer’s after the merger.
“I think about Southern Wine & Spirits’ humble beginnings in 1968, when we faced so many competitors who had been around since Prohibition,” Wayne Chaplin told Marvin R. Shanken in a Shanken News Daily interview. “To reach this point, based on my dad’s vision to build out this business, to roll the dice every single time and to invest the farm every single step of the way, is really an incredible story.”
Chaplin enjoys smoking smaller Cuban cigars, particularly the Partagás Serie D No. 6.
