What is the difference between Richelieu Export and other Richelieu labels?

The Export is the standard South African market label of Richelieu and the most widely available expression. Other expressions exist (premium varieties, anniversary releases) but Export is the one Namibian buyers usually mean when they say "Richelieu".

How do most people drink Richelieu in Namibia?

Two main patterns, mixed (usually with Coke) for everyday drinking, or neat at the end of a braai. Both are standard and there is no wrong answer.

Richelieu in Namibia

Richelieu is one of those brands that needs no introduction in southern Africa. Made by Distell since the late 1960s, it is the brandy people pour without checking the label, a Namibian shelf institution, especially in the older established suburbs of Windhoek. Our regular stock is the Richelieu Brandy Export 750ml, the standard expression that most Namibian buyers know best. It is smooth enough to drink neat, full-bodied enough to stand up to a mixer, and priced for everyday entertaining. Doorstep Deliveries delivers Richelieu in 30 to 60 minutes across our 15 Windhoek suburbs during operating hours. We see steady Richelieu demand year-round, with a sharp pickup in the lead-up to braai weekends and the festive season.
