I’m as big of an advocate for independent small business as I am for quality food producers. The specialty food industry has skyrocketed to heights that very few of the true pioneers, or subsequent participants could have ever imagined. But is the industry a victim of its own success? Consolidation and Private Equity have afforded many of those who established the good food movement their just rewards. But what does that mean for the outlook of the industry moving forward? Does passion play as big a role in the decision-making process as it has in the past? Is it harder for a consumer to decipher truly great product vs. very well marketed product? How does an independent retailer or distributor compete with hugely funded organizations, that are now selling the same products that were previously designated for the “crazy people”? An interesting conversation starting at 5:43 talks about the effects of Private Equity decision making in the foodservice distribution sector.  I have my own thoughts, what are yours?  https://lnkd.in/eajs8ux2

Today sees the release of WineCap's Wealth Reports for both the US and UK markets. The reports are based on original surveys conducted among US and UK wealth managers and financial advisors and reveal the changing investors' attitudes towards fine wine. This is the second year in which we have conducted such primary research and I'd like to thank all involved in the creation of these reports.
