November 2017Wine Industry Suppliers Report Client Growth
The U.S. economy has maintained an upward trajectory during the past year, extending from dollar appreciation to the gross domestic product. This positive trend has been evident across most parts of the wine industry, as wine buyers continue to reach for higher priced products at retail, through direct-to-consumer (DtC) shipping and other sales outlets.
For the 10th consecutive year, Wines & Vines reached out to wine industry product and service providers to get their perspectives on the state of the wine industry past, present and future.
Jeff Clark, an industry expert in Live Oak Bank’s Wine & Craft Beverage Group, says it’s a great time to be in the wine business. “We have enjoyed steady growth in sales with younger generations embracing wine, albeit in their own fashion. Interest rates remain low, and we have enjoyed good harvests in recent years,” he said.
The vast majority of wine industry suppliers agreed, with 97% of respondents to our survey reporting the financial health of their wine industry clients was as good or better than the previous year. Suppliers shared anecdotes of vineyards that earned sustainable certifications and were able to charge more for their grapes, increased sales in the DtC sector and improved wine quality that demands higher prices in the marketplace.
Unlike 2016, when zero supplier respondents described their wine industry clients’ finances as “getting worse,” 3% of wine industry suppliers chose this option in our multiple-choice survey. Still, the figure is a vast improvement from 2011, when 19% of suppliers said their clients’ financial health was worsening.

November 2014Coming Out of the Dark
With clean stacks of bins and picking shears at the ready, Wines & Vines polled vineyard and winery suppliers at the start of harvest 2014 to assess the health of the wine industry. As providers of financing, equipment and services, wine industry suppliers have unique knowledge about how much wine is awaiting bottling, its intended market and what plans their winery and vineyard clients have for the future.
This is the seventh year the magazine has conducted the supplier survey, which we rolled out on the brink of the Great Recession in 2008 and continue now that the economy has arrived firmly on the other side.
Steve Herron, senior vice president and commercial banking manager at Exchange Bank, said, “During the downturn, ’09 through ’11, there was a shakeout, particularly among smaller, higher end producers and mid-priced producers.
“A lot of people sold the business, probably to somebody larger, because that downturn—when distribution sales dropped by about 30% in 2009—that hurt virtually all wineries.”
Herron added that the wineries still operating post-shakeout are survivors, some of whom attracted outside equity to stay afloat during the downturn. (See “Will 500 West Coast Wineries Sell?”)
