Abstract: Can A Wine Brand Sold in Grocery Stores Ever Be A Luxury Product? Selling wine at major retailers is great for profit margins, but if you’re sold in the grocery store, can your wines also be sold on the wine lists of top restaurants? This session will show the following: 1. Marketing spend focused on luxury has allowed Champagne brands to sell both at major retailers and be on the lists of top restaurants. 2. Price is not enough to ensure a wine can exist in both spaces. 3. For the most part in America, unless you have a large marketing budget you have to choose, grocery or the restaurant, you can’t have both.
