Beverage alcohol distributors sit at the epicenter of a cluttered product landscape where, according to Mark Harmon of the Independent Distributor Network, “God isn't making any more shelf space.” Distributors only have so much time and attention they can give to each spirits brand. What's left is for brands to do everything in their power to make a compelling case that their products deserve to take up a meaningful share of a distributor's attention. Emily Pennington sat down with key figures at Southern Glazers, Breakthru Beverage Group, Skurnik Wines & Spirits, and the Independent Distributor Network at Bar Convent Brooklyn this month to discuss the current state of beverage alcohol's second tier. This diverse cast of key wholesalers offers a window into how distributors are viewing and operating the market for spirits brands in 2024. They'll explore the evolving dynamics within distribution in the wake of the pandemic and uncover what distributors are looking for when considering a new brand partnership. They'll also highlight the red flags that can derail a brand's chances of securing distribution.

Festival friends it's a treat when we get to talk to a founder of an iconic festival and on this episode of FestivalPass Stories, our Host, Pat Tully sits down with the founder of the iconic South Beach Wine & Food Festival and the New York City Wine & Food Festival, Lee Schrager.   Lee takes us back to the beginning days of SOBE WFF and tells us how it all started on the gorgeous beaches of Miami and then gives us the inspiration behind franchising that festival to NYC.   Schrager's official title is the Chief Communications Officer & SVP Social Responsibility for Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits, the world's largest distributor of wines & spirits.    But the title he is most excited about right now is as founder of the brand-new inaugural Nassau Paradise Island Wine & Food Festival (NPIWFF) taking place at the iconic Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. Headlining chefs at NPIWFF include Aaron Sanchez, Andrew Zimmern, Alex Guarnaschelli, Michael White, Jose Andres, Duff Goldman and more!    Besides the chefs tastings, there are events including the Rum Runner's Walking Tour, Sunset Dinner Cruises, wine tastings and more.    Schrager's wine & food festivals have always been focused on culinary greatness and giving back. NPIWFF will continue that tradition partnering with the Blue Project Foundation saving sea species and their extraordinary habitats.   Hear more about these stories and some great music festival stories here on this episode of FestivalPass Stories.    To find out more about the Nassau Paradise island Wine & Food Festival:   Website: https://www.atlantisbahamas.com/wine-and-food-festival    Follow them on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/npiwff/    Connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/npiwff   Fine out more about the Blue Project Foundation https://blueprojectatlantis.org/   Connect with Festival Pass!
