That ability to unlock new revenue streams is one of the focal points of the upcoming International Bulk Wine & Spirits (IBWS) Show, taking place in London on January 24-25, 2018.

Customers now want to see or find out as much as they can about the products they buy. So it is also important to build up a fact file of information about all aspects of the product, from how and where and when it was made, to the processes involved, the packaging and labeling used to how it got onto the shelf. Information that can be supplied online or directly to consumers if asked.

Breaking Through: How to Get New Brands into Retail Channels
Every beverage entrepreneur’s dream is walking into a store to see their product on shelves and flying out the door in customers’ shopping carts. However, a lot goes into getting that product onto those shelves – work that starts before the beverage company even contacts the store in the first place.
It Starts With Brand Creation - For those who think that breaking into retail begins after the product has been designed, produced, and is ready to go: stop and rewind. Getting a product into stores actually, begins at the very beginning of the product creation process.
Know the Retailers - One item that can’t be emphasized enough is that before the first phone call is made or e-mail gets sent, beverage entrepreneurs must do their homework in regards to the stores in which they’d like to secure shelf space. The first question to ask? “Where would I like my product to be?” It’s not enough to say, “In Trader Joe’s!” or “Flying out the doors of Costco, of course!” Specifically, where within Trader Joe’s or Costco does a company envision their product being placed?

5 Must-haves On Every Wine List
This article outlines what types of wine should be included on a Restaurant's small wine list. Sometimes, the most challenging task as a sommelier is being asked to design a small wine list.
Trying to come up with a ‘complete’ list of wines with only 10 or 15 labels is significantly harder than compiling a list of one hundred labels. 
Tumblr media
When designing a small list, it is vital that the entire floor staff is well-versed with each wine and able to speak about them to diners accurately and passionately. A small list also means that that the staff can taste each wine (which is something that might not always possible with a larger list) and training your staff on the high notes of the winery’s story as well as the tasting experience should be a priority. You want to ensure that there is something there for everybody, which often means including a variety of styles in both value and icon categories, so use the feedback of your staff to evaluate your selection accordingly.
