Current Report

Grape Market Hits Uneasy Balance

March 2023

Following the third consecutive, lighter than average crop in California, ongoing concern about lackluster consumer demand has the state’s largest wineries waiting on additional grape purchases although buyers have remained active for fruit from coastal regions and some parts of the interior.

M&A Focus on Premium Plays

February 2023

As interest rates rose and sales growth slowed, mergers and acquisitions in the wine industry cooled over the past year. Winery direct-to-consumer shipments increased 3% by value in January as total consumer spending on wine increased 6% compared to last year.

Total US Wine Market

January 2023

The total value of the U.S. wine market grew 6% over the past year to $83.5 billion, led by a rebounding on-premise sector. As sales normalize at a new, higher baseline than before the pandemic, wine faces multiple challenges. In the latest Industry Metrics, winery direct-to-consumer shipments declined by both value and volume in December yet total consumer spending on domestic wine increased 9% compared to last year.

Retail Wine Market

December 2022

While on-premise and domestic table wine sales led growth of the total U.S. wine market to more than $83 billion in the past 12 months, retail sales and direct-to-consumer shipments fell by both value and volume in November. Softening consumer demand, economic pressure and consolidation among retailers are prompting wineries to find new ways to maintain sales within the off-premise market.

Tech Trends: Omni All the Time

November 2022

Technology has taken center stage in the wine industry over the past three years, helping businesses improve internal processes but also reach a consumer confined by pandemic-related restrictions to working from home.

Direct-to-Consumer Wine Market

October 2022

The direct-to-consumer market remains a small but vital slice of total U.S. wine sales and a source of invaluable consumer engagement with less of the competitive pressure of the total beverage alcohol market. DtC shipments in September were flat by value and down 5% by volume, while on-premise sales provided the majority of growth for U.S. wine overall.

Wholesale Wine Market

September 2022

There were few changes in the annual ranking of the top US wine distributors as the largest companies strengthened their hold of the three-tier market. Direct-to-consumer (DtC) shipments fell by both value and volume in August while winery recruiting remained strong.

Uncertain Economy Limits Rebound

August 2022

Consumer demand remains lower than expected amid rising economic concern and inflation. Winery recruiting and total sales stayed strong as direct-to-consumer shipments declined in both value and volume.

The ‘Next’ Normal for On-Premise

July 2022

Wine on-premise sales have rallied but the sector remains very different than it was three years ago as ongoing and new challenges imperil further growth. Total U.S. sales in June grew 12% even as winery direct-to-consumer shipments fell in both value and volume compared to last year.
