Congratulations to REMA 1000 Danmark for receiving several first-place awards at the prestigious PLMA Salute to Excellence Awards. Among others, GUSTUS SPECIAL RESERVE SHIRAZ, a private label created in collaboration with AMKA GROUP, Darling Cellars, and the design agency Motherland, was recognized. These awards acknowledge outstanding innovation and quality in private label products. They celebrate retailers and wholesalers for their excellence in creating store brand products across various categories, including food, beverages, health and beauty, household products, and more. Products are judged based on several criteria, including taste, appearance, packaging, product concept, and value for money. The evaluation process involves industry experts, chefs, and consumers. Within AMKA Group, we work with wine brands both big and small, including celebrity brands and private labels. The importance of private labels has grown significantly within the last eight to ten years in the wine industry. By now, we have created a significant number of private labels in different markets and channels, gaining valuable experience and insights into the whole process. Our strong collaborative relationships with wineries across the world provide us with many opportunities to help our partners achieve success in their respective businesses. In short, we can help our partners with: - Sourcing the wine and bottling - Choosing different varieties, blends, and styles - Label and packaging design (both in-house and via design agencies) - Visuals for marketing and branding campaigns - Quality control - Supply chain and scalability - Innovation and responsiveness to trends - Profitability

Great flour with more fibre, protein and flavour than all the others I have tried.

The NIQ BWS team recently conducted some thought leadership work looking at the impact of the recent change in ABV duty on the BWS category. The answer to the question has the BWS market changed as a result of the duty change is both yes and no. In spirits, changes have been negligeable. Where movement appears to have occurred, this is typically driven by the popularity of a brand rather than a big trend. However, in beer and wine trends suggest that shoppers are showing a preference for lower alcohol varieties. But is this driven by manufacturer push or shopper pull?

🍻 Here’s to new beginnings! Yesterday, at our #BeerServesEurope gala, we celebrated the relaunch of the European Beer Group (EBG) in the new European Parliament, led by its new co-chairs, MEPs Tomáš Zdechovský and Hannes Heide. The EBG serves as a crucial platform for discussions and information exchange amongst and with MEPs on issues impacting brewing and the beer value chain across the European Union. Key facts about the EBG: 🔸 Recognising beer’s contributions: The EBG highlights the intrinsic nature of beer and its significant contributions to Europe’s society, culture and economy. 🔸 Fostering constructive dialogue: It aims to bring together MEPs, other decision-makers, the beer sector, and other stakeholders to promote a responsible and sustainable future for beer. 🔸 Promoting cultural heritage: The EBG celebrates beer’s cultural heritage, its vital role in European communities, and the EU’s position as a leading beer-producing region. 🔸 Encouraging innovation and sustainability: The EBG works to support a policy framework that fosters investment and innovation in brewing, including sustainable development and the production of lower- and no-alcohol alternatives. 🔸 Creating opportunities for collaboration: The EBG provides its members unique opportunities to connect and stay informed on beer-related issues through events, newsletters, and briefings.

Wine Australia supporting AWRI - What a Load of Bulldust Part 2 Martin Cole talks about co-funding to conduct research and wants #AWRI to ‘sing for its supper’ via a competitive tender process for research. In other words, collaborate with commercial entities to conduct important research that will place Australian Wine at the forefront of innovation. Does it sound idiotic? A commercial entity gets first access to innovative research and then uses that information for their own competitive advantage.  The Australian wine producer (the Levy payer) and the Australian wine industry becomes a follower not a leader in science and innovation. Is that a waste of our levies? Sure is. Is this something akin to the scandal engulfing Price Waterhouse Cooper? Could be. Should the chair and CEO stand down? Probably. Should Julie Collins step in and fix this? Absolutely. The Australian wine industry success is underpinned by the work conducted at AWRI. Wine Australia’s campaign (via the chair and CEO) to undermine AWRI is damaging our industry. Julie Collins welcome to the Australian wine industry led by an organisation that lacks industry representation on its board and whose chair and CEO are more interested in their own agendas rather than the industry that pays their salary.
