Robert Joseph wonders: Are You a Lion or a Panda? 🦁🐼 Many in the wine industry sympathize with small producers who are passionate about winemaking but struggle with marketing and sales. But the reality is tough: not everyone has the luxury of living in a protected reserve—most wineries must hunt for opportunities or risk being left behind. Can a winery survive without actively promoting itself? https://lnkd.in/dEA_YvWR #WineIndustry #WineBusiness #Winemakers #Marketing #WineSales #BusinessMindset kate wardell DipWSET

Following Pizza Hut's launch of a 'Pizza Wine' - made in Kansas from tomatoes, infused with natural basil - Domino's has got together with Yellow Tail. Are we witnessing a new category in #wine? Or just a marketing gimmick? 🤔 https://lnkd.in/dtV9RYBV #YellowTail #PizzaWine #WineTrends #WineMarketing #WineInnovation #WineBusiness #WineIndustry

Today, he questions whether organic farming actually delivers on its promise. Is it time to rethink what “sustainable” really means in wine? What do you think? https://lnkd.in/dWR9e9bf #sustainability #wine #organicfarming #regenerativeagriculture #winebusiness #wineindustry
