A team of researchers who set out to analyze the business attributes of family-owned wineries in Germany came across a strange fact. They were studying 21 wineries that were, on average, 11 generations strong; the oldest dated back to the 10th century, when Vikings were still colonizing Europe. About half of these family wineries had continued to innovate across generations in areas such as growing new grape varieties or adopting the latest production technologies. Among the attributes that distinguished the more entrepreneurial wineries, one in particular was somewhat surprising. These business families had what you could call an “entrepreneurial legacy story” that they shared from one generation to the next. It might be the tale of a great-great-great-great-uncle, say, who rode his horse to Paris so that he could attend an auction to buy back the family winery after it was seized by Napoleon. At family meals and festive gatherings, stories of persistence in the face of peril, theft, adversity, and war were told over and over again. Who would have thought that stories could actively make a difference to the capacity for innovation? #FamilyBusiness #LegacyBuilding #Innovation #EntrepreneurialSpirit

Marketing and Customer analysis are your right and left hand. They must know what each is doing and how they impact one another. Unify the reporting of these areas to truly understand what drives your winery forward.

Great to have Stephen Flory from Amps Wine Mechants visit us Thetford Farm Barn. The support they have given in the last decade is a true reflection of their passion, dedication and knowledge. Its no wonder they have so many awards under their belt. 🍷 😍 But I can't imagine it has been an easy ride of late with the struggles the hopsitality industry have faced, and are yet to. The #budget2024 in March is looming, and the road ahead has become even more arduous for restaurants, hotels, bars, and other establishments. These changes add layers of complexity at a time when many are already facing unprecedented challenges. THE WINE AND SPIRIT TRADE ASSOCIATION has provided insights into the upcoming legislative changes affecting our industry, and offers a roadmap for championing key initiatives, such as reducing wine duty and advocating for the permanence of temporary easements. ##HospitalitySector #WineAndSpirits #WineCommunity #WineLovers #HospitalityIndustry #WineDuty #GovernmentPolicy #WineAdvocacy #WineTrends #sme

The Intellectual Property Office UK's weekly trade mark journal provides for interesting insights into what companies intend to offer in the near future. In the most recent publication, we came across BrewDog's UK trade mark application for "Wonderland Wine Company", protected for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic wine. We all know the success that Brewdog has had with beer, and this will surely be a marker for them moving into wine. We look forward to witty names for their wine brands. Any suggestions? Trade marks are an essential part of any business. If you have any queries regarding your trade mark rights, please do not hesitate to contact us with a brief and we will respond with our initial thoughts: hello@thecounsel.uk. #wine #brewdog #trademarks #trademark #uktrademark #uktrademarks #brand #brandprotection
