Happy Wine Wednesday, check out the latest article about Mom Juice + KT Winery, cheers 🍷 "As two young females of color, with no inherited vineyard, we often get doubtful looks when we say we own a wine company. The awkwardness of everyone’s oddly framed questions now fuels our ambition, rather than upsets us. This may be the very reason we’ve seen such success as we scale. We have something to prove and when you know your product is damn good, it makes our job that much easier." https://lnkd.in/gqAJzANZ #winery #startup #femalefounders #angelinvestor #investments

Tjaart Kruger has form as a turnaround specialist — not least at one of Tiger’s key rivals, Premier. No wonder the market is gung ho. But that may only be half the story. There are other key factors that suggest Tiger — South Africa’s biggest food producer with such brands as Jungle Oats, Black Cat peanut butter, Energade, Koo, Tastic, Albany and All Gold — can finally claw back margin and market share. Kruger — who has a reputation as a no-nonsense operator and is a former Tiger executive — is not stepping into the hot seat at an absolute low point. That, in turn, feeds into another important consideration — Kruger has been appointed as CEO for just 26 months. Tiger stated the appointment would “accelerate the execution of the company’s strategy and value creation for shareholders”. It’s quite possible Tiger can extend Kruger’s tenure, but the group has made it clear that it is already planning for succession. Two major areas of concern for Tiger, of late, have been the milling-baking and rice divisions — which have not been able to capitalise on long-held dominance by Albany and Tastic, the market-leading brands in the two sectors. https://lnkd.in/dbRR_zKE

Brand reputation plays a role in whisky investment, as it significantly influences the perceived value and desirability of a product. Established brands with a long history of quality and craftsmanship, such as Macallan and Glenfiddich command higher prices and are often seen as safer investments. These brands have built trust and loyalty among consumers and collectors, making their whiskies more sought after in the market. Consequently, investing in whiskies from reputable brands can lead to higher returns and reduced risks, as their products tend to appreciate in value over time.

Bethenny Frankel has joined the mocktail madness. With her recent investment in Mingle Mocktails, the Skinnygirl founder is using her prowess in the beverage industry to help a product she firmly believes in to dominate its growing market. You only have to look at Instagram ads and TikTok product placements to see how much the non-alcoholic space is booming. The market was valued at $281.1 million in 2021, and is anticipated to hit $642.2 million by 2023—and last year, NielsenIQ ranked Mingle the fastest-growing brand in its category. So how is Frankel helping the company take off? It all comes down to three key lessons from her Skinnygirl days. 1. Focus on the cake before the frosting. 2. Don't leave money on the table. 3. Listen to your customers. I got the full scoop for Inc. Magazine: https://lnkd.in/eEZUxxzH #entrepreneurship #branddevelopment #retail #CPG #consumergoods
