Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits executive vice president and general manager, Fine Wine, to Shanken News Daily. Key takeaways: 💡 On-premise is beginning to grow in the independent channel as more non- or low-alcohol wines are added as options to wine lists. 💡N/A sparkling options are on the rise with the trend toward regular sparkling consumption vs. special occasion only. 💡The consumers driving category growth are the legal drinking age to 35-year-old group.

💲 Profitability Series Part 2: Higher Revenue Opportunity Consistently attractive pour costs enjoyed from wine on tap are complemented by wine generally delivering at least 50% more revenue per serving than beer. This ultimately leads to more gross profit being brought in by your draft system. It can also help you cater to the diversified tastes of large groups of guests without having to pour out leftover stale wine. If you're one of the nearly 50% of accounts out there with two or more unused taps, this additional revenue will not come with an opportunity cost from discontinuing a beer. You will simply be maximizing the revenue generation potential of your existing resources.

With blurring category boundaries, your playground- and your competitors'- just got much broader! Let's look at the beverage example: The blurrification of boundaries is pushing closer the core sectors, which traditionally separated their markets. This translates into growth opportunities beyond the core soft drinks categories: NoLo, ciders, beers and wines, kombucha, and cocktails and spirits. #branddevelopment #branding #marketing

Super excited to be part of this growing platform! Today we're announcing the launch of a new brand of low-alc wines: Arlow 🍾 What in the world is low-alc wine? I bet people asked the same thing about light beer in the 70's. We all know people have been steadily drinking less alcohol and more recently choosing lower ABV options when they do. Why is there not an option for consumers who love wine but want less booze? It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Enter Arlow. At 6.5% ABV, Arlow has half the alcohol and half the calories of full-strength wine, but with all the flavor that you'd expect from your favorite glass. Arlow is for the moderation occasion - whatever that looks like to you. The all day pool party where you should probably pace yourself. Book club on a Tuesday night and you want to work out in the morning. Dinner parties with friends that want to open that 2nd bottle. Whatever the reason, you should have an option, without settling for nasty seltzers or light beers. BTW - we still have you covered with Surely for those NA moments too. We're launching direct to consumer today—go place an order! We'll be entering retail in select markets later this year 👀 drinkarlow.com
