WHAT IT MEANS TO WIN AT THE London Competitions? North Uist Distillery | Certified B-Corp that won the 2023 London Spirits Competition with its award-winning Downpour Gin from Scotland share a few insights with our team. Downpour Scottish Dry Gin, from the North Uist Distillery Company in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, was the highest scoring spirits brand with 98 points in the 2023 London Spirits Competition. Here’s what it meant to the distillery owners Kate MacDonald and Jonny Ingledew: “Being a gold medal winner at the London Spirits Competition has had a significant impact on our sales. One of our business goals for the year was to gain more traction in the on-trade. Recognition from London Spirits Competition has acted as a seal of approval in this respect as the competition is judged by some of the world’s leading figures from the hospitality sector. Not only this, judging is undertaken with the end consumer in mind, so you know the judges can genuinely see a space for your products.” “Often it is difficult to identify a tangible link between awards success and specific listings, however, I can point to several new partnerships as a direct result of our London Spirits Competition medals. This includes a listing with a high-end UK-wide department store whose buyer was on the judging panel. This also includes the opening up of a new export market after we were approached by an importer who had seen coverage of our success.” “This is no coincidence. The LSC team did a superb job of promoting the competition and providing a platform for the medal winners. We have won top medals in other competitions and it was a flash in the pan, whereas LSC has sustained the coverage throughout the year. We really appreciate it – thank you!” #brandsuccess #globalrecognition #brandstory North Uist Distillery | Certified B-Corp | Kate MacDonald | Jonny Ingledew The Deadline for entry to the London Competitions is February 22.⌛️ Enter while you still have time: https://lnkd.in/dRVxt6b PS: Image proudly showing LSC sticker on top of the bottle. 😍

"Competition medals don't mean anything; everyone has medals." That's a common sentiment we often hear. Most of the time, it's true. Many competitions give distinctions to whoever pays, with judging criteria that don't solely focus on taste. However, the San Francisco World Spirits Competition appears to be different. It is a blind competition where only taste matters, judged by an extraordinary panel of experts. "Many consider a Double Gold at San Francisco to be the highest medal one can receive in the spirits world, but there’s something even more prestigious: a Platinum Medal." We are proud that our Rum 0.0% has been awarded Double Gold every year since its creation and is now the first non-alcoholic spirit to receive the Platinum Medal. Our dedication to crafting the finest non-alcoholic spirits from real spirits is paying off, and we couldn't be prouder.Check out the full list of platinum medal winners at SFWSC here https://lnkd.in/dkx7AxjT #SFWSC #Competition #PlatinumMedal #DoubleGold #NoAlcohol #AlcoholFree #NonAlcoholicSpirits San Francisco World Spirits Competition The Tasting Alliance

KWV Shines at the “Olympics” of Spirits   KWV Brandy just scored big at the International Spirits Challenge (ISC) 2024, often called the “Olympics” of the spirits industry. As the only South African producer to bring home three prestigious Double Gold medals in the Brandy category, KWV continues to set the global standard for excellence and potentially claim the title of Best Brandy and Cognac Producer for the sixth time. Since 1926, KWV has been perfecting the art of brandy-making, and this year’s haul—three Double Golds and three Golds—proves that its legacy of quality is stronger than ever.   “KWV remains one of the leading brandy brands in Africa,” says CEO John Loomes. “Our superior quality, demonstrated by outperforming traditional Cognac brands at global competitions, reinforces our commitment to expanding our presence in this dynamic market.”   KWV’s latest success isn’t just a win for the brand but a testament to the growing significance of South African brandy in the global market.   #KWV #KWVBrandy #SpiritsChallenge #GlobalExcellence #BrandyLeadership 

TRUST AND DISCRETION The Bedrock of a Robust Business Relationship Article written by Nathalie Parent Dumoulin, NEXT Edition The wine and spirits brokerage profession is often overlooked, yet it serves as a vital intermediary between wineries and merchants. From a legal standpoint, the broker is crucial in facilitating commercial transactions by bringing together interested parties. Daily, the broker’s negotiation and conciliation skills are essential in reconciling offers from estates and demand from distributors, ensuring a smooth and successful transaction. In the Bordeaux and Burgundy regions, brokers oversee over 70% of bulk transactions between estates and merchants. For crus classés and champagne, this figure escalates to 90%. These statistics unequivocally underline the crucial importance of the brokerage profession and the unwavering trust placed in it by the entire industry. TIMOTHÉE BOUFFARD: A CERTIFIED WINE BROKER AND BUREAU RIPERT'S MANAGER In the WI&NE Nouvelle-Aquitaine community, Timothée Bouffard's remarkable career and recognized expertise in the Grands Crus de Bordeaux have made him a key player in the wine world. His support for investors in acquiring wine estates and the services offered by Bureau Ripert for stock appraisal, valuation, marketing, and networking testify to his willingness to share his know-how and create fruitful opportunities for all players in the sector. 2023 BORDEAUX FUTURES 🍷 As a member of the Commanderie du Bontemps Médoc for the past 17 years and a jury member for the Left Bordeaux Bank Cup, we sought Timothée Bouffard’s impressions on the 2023 vintage. "This vintage has been tailored to meet consumers’ desires at very reasonable prices. We have revisited the great classics of Bordeaux with freshness and balance. It’s a very expressive vintage with good acidity and a lovely tannic structure. A must-have for your cellar!” Due partially to economic and political uncertainties (France-US relations), the 2023 Bordeaux Primeurs campaign is lasting longer than usual, extending until the end of July.
