Solutions Not Problems. Creating Solutions For Your Business Opportunities?

Posted: Mar 09, 2020





Our Current Reality:

Excess of wine in the global marketplace.

Hospitality, social and business travel, convention, sectors in dramatic decline. 

Brick and mortar foot traffic under extreme negative influence.


The 2020 calendar year for the wine marketplace started with a nearly perfect storm. Tariffs are impacting the import/export market substantially; generational preferences are shifting; and Cannabis and alternative beverage market are placing pressure on wine demand in a unique way. These pressures are all placing downward pressure on wine price and demand. What else could go wrong?

No one could have predicted how a previously unknown virus would turn the world on its head. COVID-19 has redirected the world’s attention in a nearly instantaneous manner.

If anyone needed  proof of the importance of the leisure and business travel sector on the economy, behold the truth behind “OZ”  has been revealed. At the time of the writing of this article Northern Italy has quarantined 16 million; the key transportation sectors are lowering their inventory; conventions and sporting events are cancelled. Enough said.

We know the condition of the market is fragile and the forecasts are tough. What to do?

A man somewhere in the world of hospitality once said to me, “Here: We don’t have problems, only situations.”

Our current situation is creating a call to action for different solutions
