The Wine Group on building success, planning for the worst

Man the guns! Batten down the hatches! The wine industry is under assault from all sides. Executives have to balance discipline in the face of further declines and innovation to capitalize on growth, should growth eventually return to the battered wine business. Two leaders from The Wine Group, John Sutton, CEO, and Jen Evans, CFO, join us for a broad discussion about the state of the wine industry and the difficult and exciting steps they are taking to set themselves up for future success. The episode includes an update on the performance of their recent acquisition of Meiomi, Woodbridge, Cook’s, and more from Constellation Brands, how they are planning for the next cycle in grape supply (shortage so soon?), and the uphill battle midsize brands face in the wake of Republic National Distributing Company's collapse.
