We see much better pull through on local wines at restaurants and independent retail (particularly when the wines are more expensive) if that winery has an emphasis on the tasting room. <br /><br />For a market with a very strong focus on local wines, engagement with consumers plays a big part in wine sales - I actively seek out wineries who emphasize DTC. So from my perspective, yes, I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment!Merritthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15155873631389728008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-941731830705031230.post-51459628107067390142018-07-16T21:54:28.290-07:002018-07-16T21:54:28.290-07:00They are sampling at Trader Joe's.

But I wonder if the uptick in price will also mean that consumers will demand more service and information about the more expensive bottles before they try them -- or will want to sample them before they do.

Soon we will have one wholesaler with more than 60% of sales. We already have 11 wineries with 80% of sales. Now add to that realization the consolidated wholesalers who've lived on moving more lower priced boxes, will soon discover that lower price wines aren't doing well and we are close to zero growth rate in wine sales from a volume perspective. Something will change in a major way in the next 10 years because it has to.Rob McMillan rmcmillan@svb.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12396624790174552807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-941731830705031230.post-9472324563527995642018-07-16T09:44:00.402-07:002018-07-16T09:44:00.402-07:00Between sales online and in wine shops for the win...Between sales online and in wine shops for the wines I import, I find that customers are OK with a 20% markup in the store, for some wines as much as 25%. They'll pay for convenience. And those who are DTC only wouldn't taste the wines otherwise. Wholesalers are always on the lookout for poaching, but in this case they're off base.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13474121564766223239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-941731830705031230.post-12339488325336331482018-07-16T08:04:15.225-07:002018-07-16T08:04:15.225-07:00Robert - Thanks for offering insight.

Sharing that information with the wholesaler is undoubtedly part of the way we can change minds and work more effectively together. That focus will pay off for you and your wholesaler.

In states where we distribute the sales are always higher in Zip codes where we have the most DTC customers. DTC customers, generated by the tasting room directly impacts distributor sales in a positive way. I remind my skeptical distributors that a winery fan will pour our wine for their friends and then their friends will look for the wine the next time the shop. Our DTC customers will run out of wine and if they see it in the store will buy it. Robert Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07775089192831668744noreply@blogger.com
