In recent years, I've analyzed numerous formats aiming to automate coffee sales in retail. Yet, many seem too cumbersome to scale widely. Can these formats truly grasp a significant market share? I believe the future leans towards more compact yet highly functional solutions. I'm curious to understand how retail chains perceive this and what they identify as their needs for the 'coffee-to-go' format. Carefour Waitrose & Partners Giant Eagle, Inc.

Good read
This sums up why we created iiCiNG in the first place. Don’t like to toot our horn a lot, but this is something we saw years ago in this space. But we took it one step further …… let’s allow YOU to decide what where when and how much. All the Big boys are now seeing what we’ve seen all along. If you have a couple minutes have a read and see where the beverage market is going. https://lnkd.in/ge2B_Y3W

On Fridays I like to spend a little time thinking about beer. Established ‘craft’ brewers Epic and Brothers called in receivers recently. That’s so tough for the founders, their employees, suppliers and all the families touched by the situation. Their beers are good and the reasons for their demise seem to be rising costs and falling sales. I’ve yet to understand why decent beer in NZ costs as much as decent wine. Maybe that’s why sales languish in the current economic climate. Another problem for the sector is choking competition, per the photo below. 350 choices all fighting for fewer $? A fixture that looks like an explosion in a lolly factory? A festival of wacky product names? Is the sector over-due for a shake-up in corporate strategy and product marketing? A little differentiation here and there? Too much to hope for pricing equivalent to 'mass market' beers I suppose?#brand #strategicmarketing #sales

Good news is more important than ever in the doldrum recesses of the naysayer mind.... 🤓 But the issue is that this news really isn't new, as you can see in the graph. So why the disconnect? Why is everything so disjointed & overwhelming in the wine supply chain? As we know, there's a LOT of moving parts in this picture & the one that we still haven't reconciled (think an imbalanced checkbook) is the temporary pain of: "US Wine Oversupply generated by a single year flood of 50,000,000 more gallons than the U.S. wine market could handle after the 'smoke' rejection of 325,000 tons of grapes in 2020 (simultaneous to the 27% price drop of international wines when the world shut down). It really is quite simple in one sense. Math matters. Consider first, the 700,000+/- tons on unharvested grapes in 2023. Thank GOODNESS those grapes didn't hit the market!! The simple math is 50,000,000 gallons of oversupply from imports shipped in one year ('21-'22) divided by 170 gallons per ton divided by 6+ tons to the acre and........well, there you have it! Have what!??? 50,000 acres of California grapes being recommended to pull out to rebalance. That # has now increased to a 70,000 acre recommendation but it is more like 100,000 acres in reality. Why? Because there's no slowing the additional importation of wines. Don't get me wrong. I'm not here to say good or bad or right or wrong. We're just trying to get to accuracy of reporting, accuracy of the mechanisms causing supply strains, & accuracy of reporting whether or not current policies for wine trade are either healthy or unhealthy for the U.S. wine trade overall. We know that reduced cost imported products are supplying better value to U.S. wine consumers. 'But'....who really wins when 90+% of the supplier side loses? Can a weak domestic U.S. supplier wine industry make for strong international wine trade partnerships? Who is actually out there counting the costs. "But the good new Nick!!!" YES! We have so much good news but the negativity is causing a national nausea, in-turn stifling the creative wine mind from creating great strategic wine plans. Australia has 20x the strategic thinking than the U.S. wine trade...& they're fighting to do better. (yes Dan Eggleton and Emanuel Skorpos?) So am I for the importation of excellent wine at great pricing? Absolutely! In fact, I'm importing!! The U.S. wine trade is in much better condition than the downtrodden media & low-grade data pundits are portraying. While we clean up the mediocre grape quality & equally mediocre wine branding, we should simultaneously leverage the facts of these numbers & prepare for the largest increase in wine consumption that the U.S. has ever witnessed. Mark my words. Buy me a drink if I'm right.....& we'll smile all the way to the bank BECAUSE we responded to our market challenges with purpose & imagination. #winevision #winefuture #internationaltrade #tradepolicy #wheretradematters #techtalk4wine
Finally, some more good news about wine! This new BMO report, which includes some of our WINE MARKET COUNCIL consumer survey data, shows that wine sales are up in the U.S. market, and have increased 46% since 2018 to $107 billion. I'm so grateful that there is finally a fact-based report that represent 100% of the U.S. market. Thanks to authors Adam Beak, Jon Moramarco, Christian Miller, and Andrew Adams! #winebusiness https://lnkd.in/dfCX7XvB
