Wine Private Label & New Projects At Tastry, we recommend focusing on producing wines that cater to specific consumer palate profiles, using the resources you have, rather than trying to emulate others. 🍷 Wine is an agricultural product: Natural variables such as grape sourcing, weather, terroir, will highly influence it and make it impossible to replicate a competitor’s wine. 🍇 Our approach centers on understanding the unique characteristics of your wine and identifying consumers who will appreciate it, instead of targeting a predefined flavor profile. ✅ Tastry offers tools to create more appealing and distinctive wine, ensuring they stand out in a competitive marketplace. 🏅 This concept and much more are discussed by our CEO, Katerina Axelsson in the podcast below. 💡 https://lnkd.in/gQSwKXEy #wine #wineindustry #tastry #AI

Here are links to the written paper and the video of my recent Sir John Graham Lecture, "The Compass of Character" for the Maxim Institute. I argue that modern western societies expect too much of mere "law", "education" and "commerce" to deliver the "good life", and that the missing element in our social imaginary is "religion", properly understood. https://lnkd.in/gjYNaBHC https://lnkd.in/gTYsZ4g6

!JuneShine Acquiring Flying Embers! *Breaking this a.m. in Craft Business Daily*: A pair of budding beyond beer brands are coming together, as JuneShine has announced the acquisition of Flying Embers. The purchase, which is set to close in coming days, is “an all-stock transaction” and is exclusive to the Flying Embers brand, trademarks and distribution rights. The combination of portfolios makes for a dominant player in the hard kombucha category and beyond beer: The two brands together will now represent “63% of all hard kombucha sold” in total U.S., “the 14th largest beyond beer & spirit based RTD brand family” across the States, and the “6th” biggest beyond beer & spirit based RTD brand fam in California, per announcement this morning. All in, JuneShine will now be about a 116,000-barrel or 1.6 million case supplier. Three interesting points from the article: 1.    The deal is for Flying Embers brand, trademark, and distro rights, not the FE brewery. This is about consolidation for efficiencies, scale, profitability “Our brewery’s not as nice as theirs,” Greg said. “They have a Ferrari, we have an old Tacoma,” he quipped, but the old Tacoma “gets the job done and it can make [Flying Embers] product” in a “very efficient” manner. After the deal, “we’ll probably be at about 75% capacity,” Greg said of their production facility in Scripps Ranch. “I think there’s some levers we can pull to increase our capacity, but yeah, we’re starting to fill the space out.”   2.    They don’t plan to immediately align wholesaler footprints. Flying Embers in in more states than JuneShine, but in common markets, they have “pretty good wholesaler overlap,” say Greg and Forrest.  “I don’t anticipate making any immediate changes to that,” said Greg, as they find it “disruptive.”   3.    Flying Embers founder Bill Moses (who also co-founded probiotic beverage co. Kevita and sold to PepsiCo in 2016) will be part of a newly created board of directors, along with co-founders Forrest Dein and Greg Serrao. But what about Beam Suntory’s previous funding in Flying Embers? It appears that investment will simply carry over. Bill Moses tells CBD in a statement that “Beam Suntory is a shareholder in Flying Embers and will therefore have an interest in JS Brands.”   Here’s a couple throwbacks (!!) to our Beernet Radio pods with both companies: JS with Greg Serrao and Forrest Dein, and FE with Bill Moses and Liz Tomic, both episodes two years old. Here's to the future. https://lnkd.in/gcUEceus https://lnkd.in/gY7Pr8Ze
