About the webinar
This webinar will present an in-depth look at the various exchange points along the wine supply chain, in Australia, US and China, and then map what influences the decisions at those points.
As part of the research, retail store managers, owners and staff, restaurateurs and sommeliers, distributors and importers across three markets – US, China and Australia – were surveyed and interviewed and asked to consider the importance of influencers such as profit margin, distributor, taste, supporting material and a range of other factors.
In a 1-hour interactive Q&A session, Dr Steve Goodman and WCA Program Manager and host Jen Barwick will look at the survey results and discuss:
The elements of a good pre-approach
Finding the right fit – for both parties
Common themes
One size does NOT fit all
