Strategies for finding distributors, expanding market share, and mitigating financial risks. The recent surge in popularity of agave and tequila presents a lucrative opportunity for Mexican companies, but it also comes with challenges such as finding reliable importers and distributors, particularly in the competitive US market. In this interview, we sit down with Ernesto Wlasiuk, Export Manager and International Trade Consultant at NEWMARKETS, Mexico, to discuss how companies can capitalize on this demand, expand their market presence, and protect themselves from financial risks. #mezcal #tequila business Bartender Spirits Awards

The Spirit Business has just published its predictions for 2024 for the international spirits market. Mainly, the following 4: ✅ Enough casks for so much whisky? With the emergence of whiskey distilleries around the world, the demand for barrels has skyrocketed. And considering that the regulations governing bourbon or scotch (among others) are very demanding in terms of the type of barrel and the use made of it, it leads us to wonder if there will be enough wood to supply the sector. Many are betting that there will end up being a relaxation of regulations. ✅ The ready-to-drink (RTD) category is the fastest growing in the spirits sector, but is there room for innovation? It seems that the latest trend for big spirits brands is to partner with other big brands (such as Jack Daniel's and Coca-Cola). ✅ 2024 will be the year of the definitive boom for many Latin American spirits, largely unknown to the general public. This is the case of beverages such as Cocuy or Singani. ✅ International fairs are back with a vengeance. And it seems that after the pandemic, people are becoming more experimental and are once again betting on attending these events. Do you agree?

I thought i'd take a look at Whisky selections in on-trade venues and assume that retros, listing fees and company wide pour agreements didn't exist for a second...😉 In part - I try and answer how could you can strategically build a selection that is high turnover, diverse and fit for purpose. I came up with two strategies. While I've positioned it towards on-trade venues, this could easily be applied for retailers and off-trade too. Can't be bothered to click through? Here's the hot take👇 If you want a whisky selection that’s fit for purpose, you need to move past the question of what you have and onto why you have it. Once everyone knows the why – you’ll see a dramatic uplift in sales as the entire team will be far better at recommending the right bottle to guests. https://lnkd.in/eSGcDkt8
