Wine & Spirits Daily is a leading commercial newsletter for wine and spirits industry members.

In these hard economic times information is more valuable than ever before. Sometimes success or failure is dependent on a mere scrap of information, which means one issue of WSD could pay for itself a hundred times over a year.

TWSD offers unique analysis on heavy topics in our industry such as impacts from the recession, consolidation and relationships between suppliers, wholesalers and retailers. We also strive to bring you the news first. For example, this past year we were the first to report that Southern Wine & Spirits and Glazer's had ended talks to strike a joint-venture, and we were also the first to report Constellation Brand's new distributor agreements.

We cover quarterly earnings conference calls and investor meetings from major wine and spirits companies; report on important industry events such as the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America's Annual Convention, Wine Industry Financial Symposium and the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association's annual conference; and provide regular data from Nielsen and Information Resources (IRI) among others. WSD has conducted interviews with top execs and leaders in the industry such as Skyy Spirits ceo Gerry Ruvo; WSWA ceo Craig Wolf; Andrey Skurikhin of SPI Group; Rocky Wirtz of Wirtz Beverage; Patron coo John McDonnell; chairman of W.J. Deutsch Bill Deutsch; and Paul Kronenburg of Family Winemakers. Most importantly, we publish commentary from readers, who provide the best insight into the industry.

Our concise writing style brings as much useful information in as little amount of space as possible. Our motto is simple: read less, know more. We publish every business day, or about 250 issues a year, aside from the occasional sick day or heavy traveling. That comes out to $1.16 an issue. The newsletter is delivered via email and can also be accessed online at WineSpiritsDaily.com.
