USA Spirits Ratings (USA Ratings) is on track and will take place in San Francisco, California this July. For brands looking to gain wider recognition within the U.S. marketplace, the USA Spirits Rating event is a fantastic opportunity to get in front of the industry’s most influential tastemakers & trade buyers. Spirits entries will be judged by their Quality, Value, and Packaging. To help promote the winners and the competition to the public the Beverage Trade Network has set up the Los Angeles Drinks Guide, New York Drinks Guide, Chicago Drinks Guide and San Francisco Drinks Guide to keep those consumers interested in the latest drinks news, trends, products, and award winners. This emphasis on three different judging criteria rather than just one (e.g. quality or taste) is what sets the USA Spirits Ratings apart from other competitions. The goal is to identify the spirits that consumers actually want to buy on a retail shelf or order from a restaurant menu, and not just those spirits that are made with tremendous expertise and craftsmanship but without the end consumer in mind. Get assessed by top spirits buyers and experts and grow your brand awareness. The submission deadline Is June 20, 2023. Enter your spirits today. https://lnkd.in/dYNmU8pu

Hi All, we are less than a week away for the 7th International Bulk Wine & Spirits Show. The show is all set to happen on July 23-24 in San Francisco. This is the show, where top chain buyers, bulk wine buyers, bottles, bulk spirits buyers come to create new partnerships and to say hello to the old partnerships. I am very empathetic to some hard times our wine industry is going thru. Hoping to help a lot of wineries find some good long term buyers for via some bulk partnerships and private label partnerships. There are many factors going on like...Millennials and Gen Zers aren’t drinking as much alcohol today. RTD's and canned cocktails have stolen market share. Consumer shifts are happening towards new spirits categories more. The current medical consensus suggests that alcohol is unequivocally bad for human health and the list goes on. But as the saying goes "wine always comes back" we are hoping this is the bottom and we will see some turn around. Thanks to some big companies trying to innovate in packaging and marketing to get that new wine consumers. Try and see if you can come over even for one day, there is some solid conference agenda and amazing 120 exhibitors out there who can be your great partners in buying and selling. Get your tickets at Ibwsshow.com. See you all at the show.

As I get ready to speak on the PCMA Canada East Chapter ’s Ask Me Anything panel all about food and beverage in our industry, I can’t help but reflect on how exciting the current trends are—especially the rise of non-alcoholic options. Don’t get me wrong, I love a great glass of Pinot Noir with the best of them, but there’s something so innovative and inclusive about the movement in the non-alc space. From zero-proof cocktails to thoughtfully crafted non-alcoholic wines and Proseccos, these options are opening up a whole new world of possibilities for events. Incorporating non-alcoholic beverages into event menus isn’t just a trend; it’s a way to create more inclusive experiences for all guests. I’m thrilled to see where this movement takes us and how we, as event professionals, can continue to embrace it. As I post this I am enjoying a delicious little non-alc Prosecco while making dinner. It’s a perfect reminder that amazing beverage experiences come in all forms. Cheers to innovation and inclusion in our industry! 🥂 #foodandbeveragetrends #eventprofs #nonalcdrinks
