Great to see BiaSol and the benefits of the Circular Economy. It underscores the huge potential of industrial symbiosis, in which outputs from one process serve as inputs for another. (A fancy way of saying that one person's trash is another person's treasure and it benefits the economy.) I also think circular principles are becoming increasingly attractive to investors.

Since our last update on the subject a year ago, the bulk wine market has faced ongoing challenges. The inventory of bulk wine available for sale has surged in all areas. Turrentine Brokerage, for instance, was managing the sale of 19 million gallons across the state by the close of the second quarter the previous year. By February 2024, this figure had escalated to 24 million gallons of bulk wine on the market.

Continual struggles have plagued the bulk wine market, following our previous report on the matter from last year, marked by a rising stockpile of bulk wine for sale in various regions. Notably, Turrentine Brokerage's figures rose from selling 19 million gallons of wine statewide by the end of the second quarter of last year to 24 million gallons by February 2024. The increase in available bulk wine, especially of older vintages, points to the enduring lack of demand in the market.

“Alt-protein is a game that needs to be done on a massive scale, so the cost of capital becomes a major constraint here. This means that the business needs to be large-scale, too. However, it is hard because if you want to be a large-scale business, you can’t be a niche/boutique business; rather, you should go mainstream. This, in turn, means low margins."

The approach looks extremely opportunistic. The update here also covers an assessment of results from several companies which have fallen on harder times and were previously much more highly valued.

Last year, I wrote my report on Ontario's brewery mergers and acquisitions. It resulted in over 2000 unique device visits, being shared across several colleges and big banks, and was one of the month's most-read blog posts hosted on the Shopify platform. It also got 10 upvotes on Reddit. Here is this year's industry report. There will be many challenges soon, but the beer industry has survived similar market patterns. It was important to me to keep this information accessible so anyone can read it, but I can only do so through the materials I sell on the website. If you appreciate the research, please share, pick up some tri-clamps, or send some beer. I like lagers. Remember sailors: ships are safest in the harbour, but that is not what they are built for. https://lnkd.in/gA6BYXpY #craftbeer #beer #indiapaleale #lager #brewing #ontariocraftbeer #manufacturing #thebeerstore #lcbo #onpoli #shopify #ecommerce
