When I asked my database of wine importers and distributors how 2024 was looking what did they say?

- Over two-thirds said that their turnover was down compared to 2023. There were a couple of exceptions, one wine bar that is doing so well they will expand to a retail outlet, and a couple of respondents who said their 2024 income to date was similar to 2023 but the general mood was that this year was down.

- Why? Again 68% of respondents gave the answer that their customers are just buying less wine and 50% noted that people are just looking to spend less. A quarter of respondents noted that they have fewer orders but in general those orders are higher and customers are prepared to pay for quality. There is a move to buying less but better confirming the trend that Germany is no longer purely price driven.

- What’s their plan for 2025? The real aim of my survey was to gain a better understanding of whether it’s worth producer’s time coming to Germany and for consortiums to invest in the sorts of events I organise. Here the mood is still upbeat. I offered a few different strategies including : “expand product range beyond wine” and “stop my activity”and only one respondent said that they would expand beyond wine. For the rest, even when it’s tough, they’re staying in the business. Strategies included looking to expand their sales channels and broaden their selection to be able to offer something new to their customers and limit their activities to those that they know work.

Conclusion : Selling wine to Germany is a tough business to be in at the moment but it’s not all doom and gloom. Well-priced, quality products will find retailers and distributors looking to woo their loyal customers. The next event I'll be organising is the SLOW WINE presentation in Munich on 21st January. Registration will be open shortly.

I do a lot of online corporate wine tastings but sometimes it’s also great to do them in person - especially when you have the right partners to make them magic.

Business and wine event this week organised at Boque auf Croque with a Piedmontese wine and food theme. Wines chosen from Borgo Maragliano and Marchesi di Barolo, and delicious catering supplied by Ristorante I Martinelli.

Last week's The Italian Show : an event bringing the best of Italian food and wine under one roof. I spent most of the time in the Enoteca area were Corinna Siena animated three wine and food sessions with her quintessential Sicilian style 🤩 apart from a moment when I spoke in a panel about the trends on wine consumption and pizza in Germany. There were some really excellent products (the pesto was to die for!). Thanks for everyone who made it out to Eisbach Studios to take part.

This is what I love doing : bringing people together with wine. Whether it’s wine drinkers for tastings of different labels, or wine professionals looking for new wine producers for their portfolio, making connections is what makes me happy.

Friday night I hosted 20 women at the Blue Heron Wine Shop for a summer tasting. We explored a Cremant and a Mcc, a white and then a rose. We took a moment to really think about what we were smelling and tasting and then answered the most important question - do I like it? I sold out of most so they definitely did ☺️

It was time for Vernaccia di San Gimignano to take the limelight yesterday in Munich. Through two masterclasses presented by Christoph Raffelt, wine professionals and press got to experience the diversity of this, one of Italy’s oldest wines. Between the masterclasses and free tasting 66 labels were available to explore.

Huge thanks to everyone who took the time to attend and to the Consorzio della Vernaccia di San Gimignano - die Seite in deutscher Sprache for the amazing diversity of wines on show.

A few highlights from Jan
🤩 Two amazing trips to Italy including a couple of days in Venice, I’d forgotten just how special a city it is
🤩hosting my first ever wine tasting for total strangers at the shop. They left a review saying it was truly unforgettable so I guess I did a good job 😜I definitely had fun anyway (getting over my fear of speaking in public and imposter syndrome!)
🤩Organising the sixth edition of the Slow Wine event in Munich which was attended by over 300 people. Masterclasses were jammed and the feedback on the quality and variety of wineries was amazing
🤩 a dinner with strangers (apart from 2!) thanks to a post on my International wine lovers in Munich Community on FB. Wine is how I got to meet most people in each city I’ve lived so it was special to see connections and friendships start from this community I’ve been fostering more intentionally for the past few months 😍
🥶most of the time it’s been cold and snowy but oh so beautiful…

Thank you January. Can’t wait to see what’s coming up in Feb 🤩

I think it's been pretty clear that 2023 was not a good year in wine. Not sure I should be celebrating that the queen of wine herself has confirmed what I think everyone knows.

Add to that the clear brain drain the industry has seen. So many of the smart people who were part of the events I organised or attended in the past seem to have moved on..

The question now is how will the wine industry react? I have some ideas... https://www.ft.com/content/92fd2cbc-4763-4041-8ab8-aa9c9529ee06?accessToken=zwAGDS4vMFAAkdOS_Sy8R2NAQdOKuKqclSnuBg.MEUCIEBt8tXIYSZcuBQ3NgfKwaDA-ae3GxRvHmh8R02SChv2AiEAp2tvikIx4hJlNUKP4gu6k6pxGV1kk97vgxDubxK4ydo&sharetype=gift&token=c9e581d2-a1df-4e0e-99d4-5247a0b34c44

High-street prices are up, trophy prices are down and there’s competition from cannabis
