Testimonials

“The WMC allows the industry to have platform with a common goal of moving the wine business forward in a positive way with fact based category insights that give membership a single version of the truth.”

“We have used research from the WMC over ten years to inform strategies for our clients to successfully advance their market share in the US.”

“My work is focused on opening DTC channels for Italian wineries. As Italians don’t yet have a wealth of data in this emerging sector, WMC provides invaluable research that helps me develop data-driven strategy for my clients, allowing them to track measurable success.”

“I really enjoy the interaction with well-informed industry leaders. The consumer data is the very best.”

“Best database in the business.”

“An early WMC study revealed that Millennials (then a young cohort as large as the Boomers) were early adopters of wine, suggesting strong growth potential. That lasted about three years before the rest of the beverage industry jumped on the Millennial bandwagon, and this large cohort’s interest in wine spread across the world of alcohol beverages.”

“WMC’s study on Green Wine convinced us of the viability of launching a Vineyard Sustainability Certification program in our state. As a result, we received a $200,000 grant and have now certified 49 vineyards.”
