Grab a bottle of Courvoisier and some "quiet storm" music because Leon Phelps, the Ladies' Man is in the house! Well, ok, it's actually Tim Meadows, the talent behind Leon who became an SNL favorite throughout the 1990s and who has built a solid career as a comic actor ever since. A product of Michigan, Tim learned improve there and at the Second City in Chicago where Lorne Michaels discovered him and added him to a strong cast.

The beverage brand's former CMO, which holds drinks like Aperol, breaks down why events like Coachella, the US Open and Cannes Film Festival are so important to its marketing strategy. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.[00:00:00] Damian: I'm Damian Fowler [00:00:01] Ilyse: And I'm Ilyse Liffreing [00:00:02] Damian: And welcome to this edition of The Current Podcast. [00:00:05] Ilyse: This week, we're delighted to talk with Julka Villa, the former Global CMO of Campari Group. [00:00:11] Damian: Founded in 1860, Campari is a household name in the global spirits industry with a portfolio of over 50 brands across world markets. [00:00:20] We're talking familiar names like Aperol, Sky Vodka, Wild Turkey Bourbon, and Courvoisier. [00:00:27] Ilyse: Julka is a marketing veteran with over 25 years of experience in the alcoholic beverage and beauty industries. A specialist in consumer focused brands. [00:00:37] Damian: Julka is responsible for the marketing vision, strategy, and execution of the Campari Group's brands. [00:00:44] At the same time, she has a bird's eye view of the company's worldwide presence, coordinating teams based in Milan, Paris, and New York. [00:00:52] Ilyse: We started by asking her about how she balances the Campari legacy with keeping its brands relevant for today's [00:01:00] consumers. [00:01:02] Damian: So Campari has a rich heritage. The company is now 164 years old. How do you go about balancing its legacy, the preservation of its legacy while keeping the brand modern and relevant for today's consumers? [00:01:18] Julka: I think that, if we go back to the roots of the Campari brand, about being [00:01:23] bold, about being visionary about investing in arts, think about Europe, Italy in the second half of the 19th century. There were so, few brands really investing Campari was one of the first really interacting with artists [00:01:42] and designers and giving them the freedom to, the brand in the way they saw it. if you look at how we started, you how we moved forward along our, our history. You can see that, the [00:02:00] twenties and thirties of last we start cooperating with cinema, really asking the people, working in the industries and producing the movies, postcards, producing, you know, designs and drawings for us. [00:02:16] You can see that, fast forward, to the eighties. We start cooperating with one of the greatest filmmakers. In the world, Federico Fellini, that was a big fan of the Campari brand. He was drinking Campari and he decided to cooperate with us to produce an advertising for the brand. And Fellini was the first filmmaker we cooperated with. But then, we kept this partnership, for instance, with Paolo Sorrentino 2017. And I was personally You know, working with him, it was a fantastic experience to see an artist really bringing to life, the brand, [00:03:00] respecting the legacy, but at the same time, renovating, since you're asking me how a brand modern still loyal to its root, it was amazing to see how we could kept the daring, attitude of the brand alive. According to his own style.  [00:03:20] Ilyse: Wow,that is super cool. so is pop culture still as important to the brand even today?  [00:03:27] Julka: Absolutely. Absolutely. So, and this is so important for the Campari brand, but for many other brands part of our portfolio, just for you to know, we have more than 50 brands. in our portfolio, and if you'd like we can talk about some of them, but when it, comes to Campari, think about the fact that our partnership with arts, have been, more recently renovated in our, cooperation with the major film festivals, in the world. We, are [00:04:00] partners of the Cannes Film the Locarno, in Berlinale. weclosed the first, year of partnership with the Toronto Film that's definitely a modern way to the brand, extremely aspirational, but still to get in touch with so many consumers and possible advocates of the brand. One of the things we really care about is not just to communicate our brands, but to assure our consumer to consume our brands throughout the signature cocktails in the best way possible and definitely feel festival for us are a huge opportunity to provide liquid tulips, as we say, to our consumers current and future.  [00:04:47] Damian: What's interesting is with these different brands, you're sort of talking about how they're valued differently in different markets. that's very interesting to me. How do you know and prioritize [00:05:00] which brands work best in which countries?  [00:05:04] Julka: We have, well identified, what we call the global brands. The brands that should be built everywhere in the world. Of course step by step and respecting the life stages, the brand is in a specific geography. And definitely the one I mentioned so far, are global brands. And so also global priorities, for the company. And then, depending on the area of the world, the characteristics of the market and the consumers, each individual, operating company, can, compose, portfolio, to have the best performance on the market. But definitely there are priorities everybody to focus  [00:05:51] Damian: if you think about the United States, is there a sort of priority? [00:05:55] Julka: Yeah,  [00:05:56] Damian: Leading brand here. [00:05:58] Julka: definitely, [00:06:00] uh, the priority for the United our giant aperitif brands, such as Campari Aperol, Grand Manier, Wild Turkey, Espolon, and of course, the local team is really excited to rebuild the Courvoisier brand. always acquisition we have just finalized. [00:06:21] Damian: Yeah, each of those brands has its own kind of, whole kind of narrative around them, I imagine. But I wanted to ask you actually a little bit about, The current moment that we're in, which we're seeing a kind of a lot of debate around alcohol versus no alcohol consumption, particularly when it comes to like Gen Z demographics. I mean, how do you think about and navigate these perception shifts?  [00:06:47] Julka: That's a very that's a very interesting question. And of course, as you can imagine, we have been spending a lot of time and resources really to dig deep into these shift and [00:07:00] transformation in a way of our consumer ships. One thing that is not that evident to, to everybody is that differently from the past, there is a sort of coexistence of, people drinking alcoholic products and non alcoholic products, depending on the moment they are in, the people they are with, what they have to do the day after. [00:07:23] And this kind of consciousness and, control on what to choose is even stronger in younger consumers as you were mentioned so they are more conscious they don't they are not you know afraid to make a choice that could be out of  [00:07:43] their are pool of friends. Everybody's drinking something alcoholic There's no problem at all for one of them to say “Look tomorrow I have to wake up very early I have a very important day I prefer to, to opt for a choice, a non alcoholic choice.” So more than a counter position [00:08:00] today, we see the coexistence, of these kind of choices, which is quite interesting, honestly, also because it gives us the opportunity to be more, mindful and, intentional in developing also the part of our portfolio, which is non alcoholic. For instance, we have a product which is an extremely strong product in Italy and definitely in a phase of conquering of continental Europe is, the name of the product is Crodino and is definitely our non alcoholic, kind of spritz. is a product that was invented and launched in the market, in 1965. [00:08:39] So this is a little bit a testament, to the personality of the company, wanting really to push boundaries. And actually we are preparing the launch of these fantastic product also in the U S, that we plan for next year.  [00:08:54] Ilyse: So it sounds like Campari really anticipated this trend of non alcoholic [00:09:00] beverages in a sense.  [00:09:02] Julka: Yeah, that's, that's correct. That's correct.  [00:09:05] Damian: I'm just curious on that point, you know, as a marketer, you must get lots of data back in terms of like, who's drinking what, maybe by generation, maybe by geography even. I'm interested to know, do you kind of look at that in terms of strategizing and find the discrete markets?  [00:09:24] Julka: even if, with the passing of the years, what we, really is of people. So demographics are not, gender or age brackets are not the main elements we look for because what really counts. Today is the mindset and the attitude of people, for instance, if I think about a product like Aperol with these with its signature cocktail, Aperol can see across generations drinking this product and across age brackets is the mindset. [00:09:57] And you would be amazed how people approaching Aperol [00:10:00] Spritz, enjoying Aperol Spritz, they really have in common, the way they appreciate life and what they are looking for in that specific moment. Either they are, 25 or 60. So there are also, a number of cross generational, alcoholic beverage experiences, and so the way we look at data is really about the motivation and the attitude of people when they are about to make a choice.  [00:10:27] Ilyse: Yeah, that kind of, shift towards mindset over demographics probably helps a lot when it comes to just I guess prioritizing channels for the brand and where to reach those audiences because I know in a lot of the times like Millennials and Gen Zers are in like social media and usually that's not an option when it comes to alcohol brands, is, so is the brand finding other channels to be just as effective, in reaching that kind of mindset that it's [00:11:00] after. [00:11:00] Julka: when, I think a strong, distinctive characteristic Of our marketing and activation strategies, really investing very seriously in, in events, because definitely there's a lot of will among consumers of all ages, really to leave, events, in person really experience, on their, skin, much more than in the past. [00:11:24] and then we amplify, if you want, through social media, those events. But, a big part of our investment. is really, put on organizing, these kind of events. When we, when it comes to the U. S., think about Coachella, which is, more than a music festival, is a lifestyle festival, as we all know. [00:11:43] Think about the U. S. Open. uh, but also if we go on the other side of the world, in the APAC region, think about, The Australian Open, which is for us a, opportunity to reach so many consumers. about [00:12:00] hundreds of thousands live offering our best signature cocktail in our, fantastic lounger and then we can definitely amplify this content on a number of social media where. alcoholic beverage can, have a direct relationship, with their consumers. So for us, it's always a mix. we really believe that we have winning products, very straightforward drinking strategy, and that's why we care so these to life in real life for we don't see this business as happening just, just virtually. Definitely.  [00:12:42] How do you kind of maintain and sort of keep tabs, as it were, on people who are loyal to the brands that you market? [00:12:52] definitely over the yearsWe invested and we improved, our, CRM, capacity, so [00:13:00] throughout, social media and massively through events, we gather as much as possible information about our consumers so that, we can definitely keep them, up to date. On our, yearly, program, but also we can establish a more direct dialogue. [00:13:18] Sometimes we consult them, a part of them for new projects. we listen to them, ask them questions about, trends, want to know more and I think that, especially when it comes to a lab important. [00:13:39] Feel part of a feel, really listen to is something as important as enjoying your favorite, brand and your [00:13:50] Damian: And what's interesting to me is I was thinking about this because about, maybe 12 years ago, I have a friend from Venice who lives in New York and we went to a [00:14:00] restaurant and she ordered an Aperol and at that, point it wasn't very, nobody really knew much about it here. [00:14:06] And since then, of course, it's huge. It's like a probably one of the most popular, cocktails around. I was just at the U. S. Open in the summer and I could see, your your [00:14:16] plaza there with Aperol everywhere. I guess it was, there's a sponsor, a partnership  [00:14:20] Julka: Mm hmm.  [00:14:21] Damian: But my question is, how did you could you walk us through how you, built that awareness from, that moment, however many years ago when it wasn't such a big, obviously big in Venice, she said it was the Venetian drink. [00:14:34] So I was like, Oh, that's interesting. [00:14:39] Julka: yes, I am. 10, 12 years ago, not only in the U. S., but in many other places outside Europe, definitely it was not established. you know, staple it is to die. and at the very beginning, we really faced, some very basic, difficulties. I have to say, it was not easy, to start [00:15:00] talking about, a signature cocktail that, needed, a bottle of Prosecco to be open, to be prepared because. [00:15:07] You know, if you are familiar with sparkly wines, the problem with it is that if you open it and you use just a little part and then you keep the bottle for a couple of days, the carbonation will just, yes, go away. So it was really. a very precise, consistent, and stubborn work of education. [00:15:28] There's just one certainty about education, which is that, you know, when you started that you will never know when you will finish. And actually it's a never ending story in a way. So we, in the past we put, and we keep putting a lot of, effort and an investment in educating the trade the bartenders bar owners But also the final consumers because at the end if the final consumer knows [00:15:52] the best way to prepare an upper spritz They will be your advocate and it happened to me so many times in the past [00:16:00] when I was receiving at the table in upper spritz that was not preparing the way It should have been, I was going back to the bar and I was saying there's something wrong with my cocktail. [00:16:13] it's a double, a double direction  [00:16:16] Julka: Yeah,  [00:16:18] efforts. And, Also, a very important part is, what we call, the oil spill approach. What does it mean? We start with the city, a major city, we start with the specific neighbors. and key on trade outlets in this neighbor. [00:16:39] We build a relationship of partnership. We invest on these venues and we create the phenomenon of the cocktail and then we expand. So distribution and presence comes just [00:16:52] after having started trend with a very high level, of the serve in a smaller [00:17:00] number of venues. [00:17:01] This, has been the approach in the U. S. and in every other part of the world. You mentioned Venice, which is the place where the brand really, started being known and appreciated and, recognized as, the champion of aperitif. But the phenomenon of Aperol Spritz started in Venice, expanded to the Veneto region, which is the region of Venice, and then expanded Milan and from Milan to the rest of Italy. [00:17:28] So the oil spill approach, as we call it, has always been, front and center of the strategy, of, And it's building.  [00:17:38] Ilyse: So interesting. when you think of Campari brands, it also sorts of implies Like a level of sophistication. in a sense, are marketing just drinks or is it something more, I don't know, like lifestyle?  [00:17:53] Julka: definitely. I think that,our brands are starting from, The most important ones really [00:18:00] stand for a certain lifestyle. you think about campari, it really represents the Milan. And, the lifestyle of the city. If you, think about aperol, you're talking about a more democratic sort of brand, really more casual. welcome. and, So they, [00:18:21] reflect a way of living and today even more important. If you think about the trend of escapism, traveling without traveling. I need a break. I need a moment for myself of real enjoyment with my friends. [00:18:36] brands like this, and they are signature cocktail, let's say Aperol Spritz for Aperol, Negroni, for instance, for Campari makes you really full for half hour, one hour you're spending with your friends in another place. So they really stand for a way of living for a place and for a moment in life where you really, recharge your batteries and, [00:19:00] you dedicate really a true moment to yourself.  [00:19:03] Julka: And that's it for this edition of The Current Podcast. [00:19:05] Damian: We'll be back next week, so stay tuned. [00:19:08] Ilyse: The Current Podcast's theme is by Love Caliber. The current team includes Kat Vesce and Sydney Cairns. [00:19:15] Damian: Cairns. And remember,  [00:19:16] Julka: we really believe that we have winning products, and that's why we care so these to life we don't see this business as happening just virtually.  [00:19:29] Damian: I'm Damian. [00:19:30] Ilyse: I'm Ilyse. [00:19:30] Damian: And we'll see you next time.

durée : 00:06:46 - "Vingt Dieux" de Louise Courvoisier

Our exit today has us pouring ourselves a glass of Courvoisier and doling out some relationship advice. This week, we are talking about the grammatically incorrect SNL title The Ladies Man, written by Tim Meadows, Dennis McNicholas and Harper Steele and directed by Reginald Hudlin. And, much to his own chagrin, we are taking our friend Aaron Neuwirth along for the ride. Along the way, we spend a lot of time discussing SNL movies and what makes them work, the careers of Tim Meadows and Helen Hunt (?), our love of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, song and dance numbers, Chicago locations, and the seemingly huge budget of this film. And then Tripp unlocks a childhood memory that suddenly makes sense! Aaron's writing on We Live Entertainment. Aaron's writing on Why So Blu? "Out Now with Aaron and Abe."

durée : 00:05:27 - L'invité de 6h20 - par : Marion L'hour - Festival de Cannes 2024 : Louise Courvoisier, est réalisatrice. Son premier long-métrage, 'Vingt Dieux', est sélectionné dans la catégorie "Un certain regard". Elle est l'invitée de 6h20.

Tasting Notes:  Since Beam Suntory just sold Courvoisier to Campari recently we thought it a good time to take a look at their flagship VS expression. Among the large houses (Remy, Martell, Hennessy) Courvoisier is the smallest, and most affordable. Not quite catching fire like most Cognac did during the pandemic, the brand was left to its own devices, but just judging on TASTE alone, Courvoisier is soft, fruity, and possibly the most approachable of the big house styles. Soft orange and citrus on the nose with a light leather aroma and a touch of almond paste. On the palate the sweetness settles into a soft glowing candied orange with oak spice growing, but never overtaking.

Collocamento record per il Tesoro, che viene investito da una domanda di 155 miliardi di euro per due Btp proposti al mercato attraverso un pool di banche, un settennale con scadenza febbraio 2031 su cui sono piovuti ordini per più di 73 miliardi di euro e la riapertura di un trentennale con scadenza a ottobre 2053, oggetto di richieste per oltre 82 miliardi di euro. L'emissione arriva in un inizio anno di grandissimo fermento per il mercato obbligazionario europeo, con gli investitori che corrono ad accaparrarsi i rendimenti assicurati da un contesto di tassi alti prima che le banche centrali inizino a tagliare il costo del denaro. L'ammontare delle emissioni del Tesoro è stato fissato in dieci miliardi per il bond a sette anni e in cinque miliardi per il trentennale, in linea con la dimensione massima per la riapertura prevista dal Tesoro. La forte richiesta - record assoluto per un collocamento 'dual tranche' - ha consentito di ridurre di due punti base, rispetto alle indicazioni iniziali di prezzo, i rendimenti. Per il settennale è stata fissata una cedola del 3,5%, con un rendimento dal 3,548%, mentre per il bond a trent'anni, che paga una cedola del 4,5%, il rendimento è del 4,515%. Un ottimo viatico per un 2024 che si annuncia impegnativo, con un programma di emissioni che sul medio-lungo termine oscilla fra i 340 e i 360 miliardi, eguagliando i record del 2023 appena chiuso, e vedrebbe salire gli obiettivi verso quota 390 miliardi se non ci fossero l attesa di due rate del Pnrr e il margine offerto dalla gestione della cassa. In generale nel corso di una sola giornata sono stati emessi 45,7 miliardi di euro di bond da parte di aziende, banche e governi, un record assoluto secondo Bloomberg. Il Belgio ha collocato un decennale da 7 miliardi che ha raccolto richieste per 72 miliardi, la Gran Bretagna uno da 2,25 miliardi di sterline che ha attirato richieste per circa 8 miliardi. Ma anche il mercato corporate è estremamente vivace: dopo i bond di Generali, Mediobanca, Eni e Bper, solo per restare all'Italia, ieri è stata Unicredit a piazzare un subordinato da 1 miliardo, a fronte del quale ha ricevuto ordini per 2,75 miliardi.

In Borsa va koCampari ha lanciato ieri un collocamento riservato di azioni ordinarie per circa 650 milioni e di obbligazioni convertibili senior unsecured con scadenza al 2029 per circa 500 milioni "per finanziare l'acquisizione di Courvoisier e per rafforzare la sua posizione finanziaria al fine consentire ulteriore crescita". Il rafforzamento patrimoniale completato per finanziare l'acquisizione di Courvoisier ha messo però alla corde Campari a Piazza Affari. I titoli del gruppo accusano la peggiore prestazione del FTSE MIB arrivando a lasciare sul terreno anche oltre sei punti. Tuttavia si allinea al prezzo di collocamento delle azioni. Non sembra quindi essere un giudizio sull'operazione. Prima dell'apertura del mercato Campari ha reso noto di aver collocato nuove azioni ordinarie per 650 milioni di euro con un bookbuilding accelerato, a 9,33 euro per azione, nonché un bond convertibile al 2029 di 550 milioni di euro. «Come previsto nell'ambito dell'acquisizione di Courvoisier del 14 dicembre scorso sulle varie alternative di finanziamento, con questo collocamento il gruppo ha approfittato delle favorevoli condizioni di mercato per ottimizzare la struttura di finanziamento», si legge in un comunicato. Ne parliamo con Chiara Di Cristofaro - Radiocor Il Sole 24 Ore.Ex Ilva: «da noi investiti 2 miliardi, ora tocca allo Stato»Lunedì è saltato il tavolo tra governo e Arcelor Mittal sull'ex Ilva di Taranto: la multinazionale ha rifiutato la richiesta dell'esecutivo di un aumento di capitale da 320 milioni di euro, con cui si proponeva di portare al 66% la partecipazione statale nell'azienda siderurgica di Taranto, tramite Invitalia, e che serviva a garantire la continuità produttiva per far fronte a una situazione di grave dissesto finanziario e crisi di liquidità dell'azienda. ArcelorMittal si è detta indisponibile ad assumere impegni finanziari e di investimento, anche come socio di minoranza. Attualmente il gruppo franco-indiano detiene il 62% di Acciaierie d'Italia, il 38% invece è in mano pubblica tramite Invitalia. Ora si potrebbe riaprire lo scenario dell amministrazione straordinaria, ma anche di una difficile battaglia legale. Il governo ha convocato i sindacati per giovedì 11 gennaio: in bilico il futuro di 20 mila lavoratori. Negli impianti del gruppo rischia di mancare il gas e nell indotto i salari non arrivano da un mese. Intanto scrive Bricco oggi sul Sole, la posizione di Arcelor Mittal espressa lunedì nell incontro con i ministri italiani era stata già formalizzata in una lettera inviata il 5 dicembre dell anno scorso. Il documento riservato, che il Sole 24 Ore ha reperito, non è partito da Londra, il quartiere generale strategico del gruppo controllato dalla famiglia indiana Mittal. Ma dal Lussemburgo, la cassaforte del gruppo. Perché le contestazioni contenute nella missiva indirizzata al ministro Raffaele Fitto un mese prima che l amministratore delegato del gruppo, Aditya Mittal, litigasse a Palazzo Chigi con metà del governo Meloni hanno una forte connotazione finanziaria. Per esempio, sulla questione dei 320 milioni di euro necessari per togliere Acciaierie d Italia dalle secche della illiquidità, già si legge nella lettera di oltre un mese fa: «Siamo convinti che la parte di cassa necessaria a colmare il gap finanziario di breve termine dovrebbe essere fornita dalla parte pubblica, in modo da cominciare a ridurre il disequilibrio rispetto al nostro investimento e gli effetti pregiudizievoli della mancanza delle misure di sostegno». Sui soldi, la lettera esprime la convinzione che il socio privato abbia messo molto più denaro del socio pubblico. Una convinzione che, appunto, lunedì è stata alla base del no dei Mittal alla richiesta di partecipare a ulteriori aumenti di capitale, dopo la diluizione al 34%. Si legge infatti nella lettera: «Abbiamo investito in Acciaierie d'Italia in modo asimmetrico. Considerando il nostro investimento da 1,87 miliardi di euro nel capitale e l'importo dei crediti commerciali non pagati, la nostra esposizione finanziaria totale nei confronti di Acciaierie d'Italia supera i due miliardi di euro, quasi il doppio dell'investimento della parte pubblica di 1,08 miliardi». Approfondiamo il tema con Paolo Bricco, Il Sole 24 Ore.

« J'ai besoin d'une unique danse, j'ai un verre d'Hennessy dans une main », ce n'est pas moi qui le dit, c'est Drake. Le rappeur canadien ne boit pas n'importe quoi. Il boit du cognac. Les rappeurs outre-atlantique adorent ce spiritueux français. Ils en parlent dans leurs chansons et montrent des bouteilles, bien jolies et bien chères dans leurs clips. Et le cognac leur dit merci ! Cette eau-de-vie française a retrouvé ses lettres de noblesse grâce au rap us mais pourquoi ? Eh bien, je vais vous le dire non pas dans un épisode mais deux ! C'est le début de l'année, on fait des folies. Déjà, il faut savoir ce qu'est le cognac. Il est fabriqué depuis le XVe mais sa production n'est définie par une AOC, une appellation d'origine contrôlée qu'en 1936. Réalisé à partir de vin blanc, le cognac est produit sur un territoire limité, la Charente. Sa double distillation, les cépages utilisés, tout est consigné dans un cahier des charges strict. Cet alcool est, au départ, réservé à la haute-société. L'Histoire raconte que Napoléon aurait emporté une caisse de cognac Courvoisier lors de son exil sur l'île de sainte-Hélène en 1815. D'ailleurs, le cognac napoléon est une méthode de distillation comparable aux bouteilles XO pour extra old. Un assemblage d'eaux-de-vie vieilles d'au moins 10 ans. Mais au fil de temps, le cognac perd en notoriété et le marché du spiritueux est en déclin. On parle même de crise du cognac dans les années 1990. Le marché japonais chute et embarque avec lui l'appellation. Les viticulteurs sont en colère, les ventes s'effondrent. Mais c'était sans compter sur le hip-hop. En 2002, Busta Rythmes, légende du rap US sort « Pass the Courvoisier part.2 » avec P.Diddy et en featuring : une autre future star planétaire, Pharrell Williams. Bizarrement, sur le site internet de la maison française, on ne parle pas du rappeur et pourtant, grâce à lui, les vente du cognac Courvoisier ont explosé. Il y a deux raisons : la première, c'est le succès de la chanson et l'autre c'est le placement du produit dans le clip, gratos selon les dires de l'artiste. Des bouteilles de Courvoisier XO partout, des filles pas trop habillées, des mecs qui boivent, ça sent le cognac partout. Les ventes de Courvoisier auraient augmenté de 30% aux US dans l'année de sortie du titre. Aux Etats-Unis, ils appellent ça du « yak » et grâce à ce titre, boire cette eau-de-vie de raisin un peu vieillotte devient hyper stylé. Totalement boomer de dire ça. C'est un grand écart magistral entre la commune de cognac peuplée d'à peine 20 00 âmes et la culture du rap US avec derrière, une grosse industrie de la musique pleine de billets verts. Et là, on s'est dit que c'était pas mal d'associer sa marque de cognac avec la réussite des artistes hip-hop mais ça, je vous le raconterai dans le prochain épisode !

Adam, Joanna, and Zach react to the news that Gruppo Campari will be purchasing Courvoisier from Beam Suntory for $1.32 billion. Does this mean that the recent dip in Cognac sales is just a a blip on the radar? Will this allow Campari to take on Hennessy in the American market? And why do we need to be very careful when analyzing sales data from 2020-2022?
