Wine & Spirits

Wine and spirits consulting for wineries, distilleries and brand owners. We help you define what makes your offer distinctive, build demand and choose the right route to market at home and abroad.

Brand Strategy & Positioning

Brand Strategy & Positioning

Brand Strategy & Positioning

Make it clear why a buyer should choose your wine or spirit.

The Challenge

A producer’s origin, craft and reputation can be compelling, yet the offer can still blend in when buyers compare bottles, prices and margins.

How We Work

We compare the category, interview target buyers where useful, and turn provenance, production know-how and brand strengths into a clear proposition for consumers and trade buyers.

What You Gain

A distinctive position, a clear brand story and a brief for packaging, trade materials and campaigns.

Product, Portfolio & Pricing

Product, Portfolio & Pricing

Product, Portfolio & Pricing

Build a range in which every bottle has a clear role.

The Challenge

New releases, formats and price points can add complexity while competing with your existing range for shelf space and attention.

How We Work

We review product and channel performance, define the role of each release, and test packaging, pricing and margin assumptions before committing to a launch.

What You Gain

A focused portfolio, a practical launch plan and a pricing structure that works for the producer and the channel.

Marketing & Promotion

Marketing & Promotion

Marketing & Promotion

Give people a reason to discover the brand and seek it out again.

The Challenge

Visibility does not always translate into demand. Brand content, social media and trade campaigns can lack a common direction, leaving buyers unclear about why to choose your offer.

How We Work

We define target audiences, sharpen the brand message and connect digital content, social media, PR and trade materials in a focused campaign plan. We align promotion with distribution priorities and track qualified enquiries, conversion and sales.

What You Gain

A consistent brand message, a practical promotion calendar and measurable commercial priorities for your team and distribution partners.

Sales & Distribution

Sales & Distribution

Sales & Distribution

Build a route to market that protects margins and helps buyers reorder.

The Challenge

An initial listing is only a start. Performance depends on how partners present the range, who owns follow-up and whether the commercial terms work after discounts and fees.

How We Work

We compare retail, hospitality, specialist distributors and direct channels where appropriate. We define partner criteria, build trade materials, set commercial terms and agree how to track sell-through and repeat orders.

What You Gain

A channel plan, clear partner responsibilities and a sales pipeline tied to what happens after the first order.

Export & International Market Entry

Export & International Market Entry

Export & International Market Entry

Choose where to export and how to enter before you commit stock or budget.

The Challenge

A promising market can look different once you account for licensing, labelling, duties, landed costs and the margin expected by local partners.

How We Work

We start by mapping regulatory and legal questions with local specialists. We then assess demand and landed economics, compare importer-led, distributor-led and other viable routes, and plan a staged launch.

What You Gain

A ranked market shortlist, a justified route to market and a practical plan for testing demand before scaling.
