Sourcing has long been a pillar of the global spirits industry, but it sparked controversy in the U.S. during the 2010s while overseas markets stayed unfazed.

Taking price might make a lot of sense when you're still in a supply-constrained environment with a cash-rich consumer but not only is their an abundance of choice for the consumer domestically and internationally, the "allocated" inventory that once drove the #JapaneseWhisky frenzy no longer exists for their core SKUs... I don't see how this one plays out well for them in the short-term but it will be interesting to follow. #DrinksIndustry #WhiskyMarket

NEW: Chapel Down Group has concluded its strategic review and elected to remain “a standalone AIM-listed company”. However, the news came alongside a downbeat trading update from the English winemaker. Sparkling wine sales had improved in the third quarter of the year, with stockholdings in the off-trade returning “to normal levels”, Chapel Down said. However there remained “some ongoing pressure on rate of sale in the off-trade”. Subsequently, the supplier said it now expected full-year net sales revenues (NSR) to be in low, single-digit decline from the prior year, having previously forecasted for single-digit NSR growth. The 2024 harvest, meanwhile, was “of a high quality” but lower in yield than the five-year average. As a result, Chapel Down said would book a non-cash charge of “between £750k and £850k” in FY24 relating to “fair value adjustment on biological assets”. This, alongside “exceptional costs relating to the strategic review”, meant Chapel Down was now also expecting to report a loss before tax in FY24. Read more via The Grocer.
