There are many benefits to a strong DtC program including control of brand consistency, building strong relationships with loyal consumers and larger profit margins. Fredrickson’s research has found that wineries enjoying the most success with DtC programs are those with a production size of less than 4,000 cases. While placement at Costco might seem unattainable, success is certainly within reach for a small winery that strikes an efficient balance between DtC and wholesalers in the proper markets. If you don’t have the quantity of product to make up for the low margin, your brand and your wholesaler cannot be profitable. In order to thrive in that space, your brand needs to be able to operate at a low margin. From a wholesaler’s perspective, if your winery is not producing at least a half a million cases a year your chances of getting placement in a large retail chain is very low. The “whole different world” Hinman referenced when discussing the role of smaller wineries in today’s marketplace is the “world” of big box retail. The session was moderated by Ken Fredrickson, founder of Chicago-based wholesaler Tenzing Wine and Spirits and investor in Brewer-Clifton Winery in the Santa Rita Hills. The panel consisted of four experts in different areas of the industry: Bobby Stuckey, Master Sommelier at Frasca in Boulder, Colorado and Co-Owner of Scarpetta wines Chris Poppy, VP/General Manager of Chatterbox Marketing and John Hinman of Hinman & Carmichael LLP, an authority on beverage law in the United States. The “DtC and 3T” session at ShipCompliant’s 10th Annual Direct Sales Conference in Napa brought together a power panel of the wine industry’s experts to discuss sales strategy and effectively allocating resources towards DtC and wholesale sales channels. “If your winery is producing less than 150,000 cases a year you are operating in a whole different world,” said John Hinman of Hinman & Carmichael LLP, an authority on beverage law in the United States. The state’s notoriety for high quality winemaking continues to spread across the world, however the majority of Oregon wineries only produce less than 5,000 a year.
