Retailers See Growth In RTDs, Organic Wines, Eye Tariffs Warily<\/h2>\n

\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFebruary 21, 2025<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Amid an uncertain economic environment early this year, drinks retailers are seeing continued enthusiasm for RTDs, organic wines, and Prosecco, and they\u2019re making moves to try and stay ahead of rapidly shifting consumer preferences. \u201cWe realize we are facing headwinds, but we are doing everything we can do to stay out in front of it,\u201d says Gary Fisch, CEO of New Jersey-based Gary\u2019s Wine & Marketplace. \u201cWe are confident we will continue to grow.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The surge in the RTD category has been a boon in an otherwise challenging market, with total spirits-based RTD volume approaching 70 million cases last year, up from less than 10 million cases in 2019, according to Impact Databank. \u201cRTDs continue significant growth, but the market is increasingly competitive, and shelf space remains limited,\u201d Fisch says. \u201cWe will keep reevaluating where we put RTDs in our stores and how much shelf space we allocate to them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other key objectives at Gary\u2019s this year include highlighting the value of private-label wines, expanding event programming, and encouraging customers to be more experimental and open to new product categories.<\/p>\n

At the Mendez Fuel chain in Miami, vice president of operations Andrew Mendez continues to see premixed cocktails like Monaco (+5% to 3.1 million cases last year) and wine spritzers like Briosa drive sales, along with organic wines like Avaline (+50% to 214,000 cases) and Naturalis. \u201cI have also been selling a lot more Prosecco,\u201d he adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

While stoking growth in popular categories, retailers are concerned about the U.S. administration\u2019s tariff plans. \u201cDomestic policy uncertainty, particularly tariffs, could significantly impact consumer demand for wine and spirits,\u201d says Mike Osborn, executive vice president at Wine.com. \u201cIn 2024, wine from the European Union contributed more than half of the company\u2019s total revenue. Younger consumers favor imports, with 68% of Gen Z and 64% of Millennials choosing imported wines over domestic varieties.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fisch agrees that tariffs on imported wines and spirits would be \u201cextremely harmful\u201d and represent an obstacle to growth. \u201cThere will be major pushback from consumers if they see significant price increases from tariffs,\u201d he says. \u201cWe would not be able to make up for the decrease in imported wine sales by selling more domestic products.\u201d \u2013Kevin Barry<\/em><\/p>\n
