On the higher end, sales of Caymus Napa Cabernet ($80) are usually up. \u201cWe also increase the frequency of wine tastings leading up to holidays,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanksgiving is a key kickoff and one of the top wine weeks of the year,\u201d says Jon Halper, co-owner of 15-unit retailer Top Ten Liquors in Minneapolis and St. Paul. \u201cIt\u2019s an important momentum builder for December. Customers stock up for gatherings, and it brings new shoppers into our loyalty program.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Top Ten stores\u2019 end caps are built around holiday wine pairing ideas. The stores also have a \u2018better than the national brands\u2019 private-label comparison approach and member-exclusive pricing on key holiday wines. \u201cWe lean into trial and education every Friday and Saturday and our on-site wine expert hand-picks our Buyer\u2019s Select wines offering a premium taste at a value price,\u201d Halper says.<\/p>\n<p>Popular Thanksgiving wines at Top Ten include Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc ($16), Les Cardonnieres Provence Ros\u00e9 ($15), and Klinker Brick Old Vine Zinfandel ($18). \u201cWe see a meaningful bump in ros\u00e9 because it pairs well with turkey and sides,\u201d Halper says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect a solid but value-conscious holiday season,\u201d he continues. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing strong interest in wines under $20 delivering restaurant-level quality, and we\u2019re leaning into real-world recommendations over hype. Our customers are gravitating toward $15\u2013$25 a 750-ml. for everyday wines, and $25\u2013$50 for holiday and entertaining bottles. Value still matters, but consumers want quality they can trust.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In Hoboken, New Jersey, Sparrow Wine &amp; Liquor owner and wine director Armando Luis is promoting \u2018The Wines of Turkey,\u2019 including labels like 2023 Catena Chardonnay, Mendoza, Argentina ($19 a 750-ml.), 2022 Provenance Merlot Napa Valley ($25), 2022 Joel Gott Cabernet Sauvignon 815 ($16), and 2023 Trefethen Dry Riesling ($25). \u201cWe keep it under $30 and mostly under $20,\u201d says Luis. \u201cWe promote a day to enjoy wine, not impress with wine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At McCabes Wine &amp; Spirits in Manhattan, light red wines are popular Thanksgiving wines. \u201cPinot Noir, especially from Oregon and Burgundy, and Beaujolais Gamay always lead the charge,\u201d says store owner Daniel Mesznik. Light red wines featured at McCabes this holiday season include Big Table Farm Pinot Noir ($68), Jerome Fornerot Bourgogne Pinot Noir Vieille Vignes ($36), Jean Foillard Beaujolais-Villages ($36), Burlotto Verduno Pelaverga ($44), and Domaine Vincent Prunier Passetoutgrain ($25), a mix of Pinot Noir and Gamay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a party at McCabes during the build-up to Thanksgiving, and it\u2019s most certainly among our busiest times of year,\u201d Mesznik says. \u201cWe\u2019re fortunate to be holding our own and we\u2019ve continued growing our online sales.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the holiday season upon us, drinks retailers are gearing up to maximize sales, focusing in on the wine category in particular for the Thanksgiving holiday. \u201cThanksgiving sales are very important as it\u2019s the first holiday in many months where people spend big money on wine,\u201d says Ian Aker, owner, Summerland Wine &amp; Spirits in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[12029],"tags":[3171,907,1305,1820,10113,16238,9182],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-323739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-alcohol","tag-beer","tag-business","tag-exclusive","tag-news","tag-research","tag-spirits","tag-wine"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 -
