&nbsp;Willamette Valley Vineyards (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WVVI#NASDAQ">WVVI</a>, WVVIP)))) or (&quot;Willamette&quot;),&nbsp;Oregon&#39;s&nbsp;certified sustainable, leading winery and producer of Pinot Noir, is teaming with TiiCKER, the world&#39;s premier direct-to-shareholder loyalty and rewards platform, to maximize its 2022 Preferred Stock Offering to fund growth.
<a href="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1920799/Willamette_Valley_Vineyards.html" target="_blank"><img alt="Willamette Valley Vineyards Logo" src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/1920799/Willamette_Valley_Vineyards.jpg" /></a>
Willamette Valley Vineyards has partnered with TiiCKER for several years to maximize its Preferred Stock Offering to fund growth while rewarding retail shareholders with unique rewards and perks (<a href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=3676484-1&amp;h=718615077&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tiicker.com%2Fbrand%2FWVVIP&amp;a=www.TiiCKER.com%2FWVVIP" target="_blank">www.TiiCKER.com/WVVIP</a>).

Numbers vary wildly as to the total number of local independent wineries globally and in North America, with tabulations going as high as 65,000 worldwide and 14,000 in the U.S. &mdash; but a recent study from Wines &amp; Vines magazine was a bit more conservative, revealing 8,391 wineries in North America; 7,762 in the United States; 568 in Canada (primarily British Columbia and Ontario); and 61 in Mexico. One thing not up for debate? There&rsquo;s a lot of wine available in North America and the world.
Some investors have also found the sheer amount of large wine producers to be a good bet, with publicly traded wine companies such as Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stz#NYSE">STZ</a>), Diageo PLC (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/deo#NYSE">DEO</a>), Brown-Forman Corp. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bf-b#NYSE">BF-B</a>), Willamette Valley Vineyards Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wvvi#NASDAQ">WVVI</a>), Duckhorn Vineyards (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/napa#NYSE">NAPA</a>) and Pernod Ricard ADR (OTCMKTS: PRNDY).
But the trend of buying wine from local wineries has been a conscious consumer effort in recent years, partly because many of those smaller wineries are passionate about producing a great sustainable product.
To help support their efforts, a glut of wine clubs have hit the market, all with the promise of providing selections supporting local independent growers from California and Oregon to France, Italy, Argentina and Australia. With the pandemic moving consumers to order wine from around the world online, a number of new wine subscription services appeared in 2020.
But in any crowded consumer market, building differentiation can become the catalyst for growth. One standout, international wine club, 12-year-old United Kingdom-based Naked Wines PLC (OTCMKTS: NWINF), with U.S. headquarters in Napa Valley, California, believes it has found a unique twist to grab a market that wants to not only feel they&rsquo;re helping local winemakers through the purchase of their products but by becoming an investor.
Naked Wines reports that it works with over 166 independent and unique winemakers worldwide, selling its high-end bottled wine for relatively low prices but with a twist. The company calls its 300,000 subscription members &ldquo;Angels&rdquo; (as in Angel investors), with the goal of funding independent winemakers upfront so they can concentrate solely on making good wine, forgoing the expensive costs associated with the traditional retail model of loans. The customer in return gets world-class, high-quality wines for an average of 60% less than the cost of traditional retail pricing.&nbsp;
Insider.com called the Naked Wine selection process a &ldquo;Shark Tank for their industry,&rdquo; &nbsp;where independent winemakers propose a wine to win approval. The company&rsquo;s customers, called &ldquo;Angels&rdquo;, &nbsp;then act as funding investors, depositing a $40 monthly contribution into their
Naked Wines account that they then use at their discretion to order wine from the independent winemakers. Naked Wine promotes that the more Angels they have, the more winemakers they can fund to provide hand-crafted wines at wholesale prices up to 60% less than the market offers.
Naked Wines claims it not only cuts costs by eliminating sales and marketing expenses for the independent wineries but its upfront Angel-funding gives winemakers more time in the vineyard and less in the office. The company&#39;s members can also interact with the winemakers directly through its nakedwines.com mobile app.
The company is additionally currently <a href="https://www.nakedwines.com/BENZINGA100">offering promotions such as</a> $100 off of 6pk of Wine for $39.99 with shipping included.

A Club Where Buying Wine Is Not Just An Avocation But An Investment In The Winemakers Themselves

The U.S. wine industry, which dates to the 1560s, rapidly expanded from a series of scattered, small-scale vineyards to widespread production over several centuries.&nbsp;
Though it&rsquo;s now centuries old, the industry is still growing with an estimated compound annual growth rate of <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/us-wine-market#:~:text=How%20big%20is%20the%20U.S.,USD%2066.97%20billion%20in%202022.">6.8%</a> and could exceed $115 billion by 2030.
However, a new generation of wine consumers is transforming the industry from one tied to tradition and luxury into a more casual and fun hobby that&rsquo;s accessible to wine drinkers of all experience levels. Here&rsquo;s a quick look at the history of winemaking in the United States and how new consumer trends are changing the shape of the industry.
<h2>A Brief History Of Winemaking In United States</h2>
When Europeans arrived in the United States in the 16th century, they immediately began making wine using a local grape called muscadine. Growing along most of the eastern seaboard and as far west as Texas, muscadine lent itself well to sweeter wines with a medium body and intense fruity flavors.
While every state still produces wine, the industry has become heavily concentrated in California where approximately <a href="https://wineinstitute.org/our-industry/statistics/california-us-wine-production/">81%</a> of U.S. wine is produced. The state&rsquo;s Mediterranean climate made it the perfect site for importing Spanish and Italian grape varietals that needed dry, sunny conditions to thrive.
That helped the country become one of the leading wine producers in the world, surpassed only by Italy, France and Spain. It&rsquo;s also helped the American wine industry grow into a $63 billion market by 2021.
Market leaders like Constellation Brands Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stz#NYSE">STZ</a>) have traditionally dominated the market through sheer variety, producing and marketing a wide range of beverages, including wine, beer and spirits.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, others in the industry make a name for themselves by niching down into specific regions or varietals. Willamette Valley Vineyards Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wvvi#NASDAQ">WVVI</a>), for example, exclusively produces a variety of red and white wines in Oregon&rsquo;s Willamette Valley.
Others, like Duckhorn Portfolio Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/napa#NYSE">NAPA</a>), compete by building up a portfolio of small, local wineries to offer a broader product line without sacrificing the premium, handcrafted quality of wines from smaller wineries.
But as consumer trends change and the market evolves, winemakers are finding new ways to make a name for themselves in a market where tradition has reigned supreme for centuries.
<h2>Younger Consumers Are Driving Innovation In An Old Industry</h2>
While reputation and tradition are still key to winning over older wine consumers, younger consumers want fun, innovation and a more casual wine-drinking experience while still being able to learn about different varietals, regions and what makes a premium wine.&nbsp;
As millennials and Gen Z account for a rapidly growing segment of wine drinkers, producers are answering those demands with more unique branding, alternative packaging and improved shopping experiences.
One of the most successful of these adaptations has been <a href="https://www.theiwsr.com/changing-millennial-preferences-drive-packaging-innovation-and-on-site-experiences-at-us-wineries/">on-the-go packaging</a>. Boxed wine, bagged wine, canned wine and other alternatives to the traditional glass bottle have helped the industry meet the needs of younger consumers who want to enjoy wine as part of a larger experience like hiking, boating or spending the day at the beach with friends.&nbsp;
<a href="https://splashbeveragegroup.com/">Splash Beverage Group Inc.&rsquo;s</a> (NYSEAMERICAN: SBEV) <a href="https://copadivino.com/">Copa di Vino</a>, for example, packages premium wine in a portable hourglass-shaped cup that&rsquo;s easy to carry and comes with a splash-proof cap so it can be closed and saved for later. There&rsquo;s no bulky glass, no need for a corkscrew, and the wine is already portioned out into glasses.
These often smaller formats also make it possible for millennials, who typically <a href="https://www.gallotrends.com/survey.php">drink less than older consumers</a>, to enjoy wine on these adventures without committing to an entire bottle. It&rsquo;s also better suited to adventurous wine drinkers who can more readily sample diverse wines by buying smaller, more affordable formats.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The following post was written and/or published as a collaboration between Benzinga&rsquo;s in-house sponsored content team and a financial partner of Benzinga.
Winc Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wbev#NYSE">WBEV</a>), a company claiming to be one of the fastest-growing at-scale wineries in the United States, has announced the launch of its newest product: Summer Water Bubbly. <a href="https://www.winc.com/wines/2020-summer-water-ros--12660">Summer Water</a> (SW) is a top-100 brand in Wine Enthusiast and is one of the industries first digitally-launched wine brands to find wholesale success and scale.&nbsp;
Summer Water is the best-selling, ultra-premium domestic ros&eacute; in the U.S. market with 66% year-over-year growth in wholesale depletions, 75% omnichannel volume growth and 88% total omnichannel revenue growth according to Winc&rsquo;s data.&nbsp;
After testing and iterating on this sparkling ros&eacute; on its online platform, the company is expanding the Summer Water product line with Summer Water Bubbly, a sparkling French ros&eacute; that will be available in retail stores nationally just in time for the holiday season.<a href="https://www.winc.com/"> Winc</a> hopes it is adding onto this brand&rsquo;s success at the perfect time &mdash; the holiday season is often the peak selling period for sparkling wine and builds on its rapidly scaling wholesale channel.
Summer Water Bubbly has the potential to catapult growth for its Summer Water portfolio as the sparkling ros&eacute; category is growing at 34%, according to the Nielsen Corp. Winc&rsquo;s proprietary data from its base of younger consumers indicate an increasing appetite for sparkling options too: sparkling is a frequently requested style for portfolio variety.
<h2>About Winc Inc.</h2>
Winc claims it is one of the fastest-growing, at-scale wineries in the United States. Fueled by its data-driven brand development strategy and a true omnichannel distribution network, <a href="https://ir.winc.com/">Winc</a> has grown its selling volume by 80% in the last 2 years and sold more than 430,000 cases in 2020 alone.&nbsp;
Winc&rsquo;s recent initial public offering means it is among companies like Willamette Valley Vineyards Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wvvi#NASDAQ">WVVI</a>), LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (EPA: MC) and Andrew Peller Ltd. (TSE: ADW), all of which aim to bring luxury-class wines to their target markets.
Since launching in 2015, the company has built Summer Water into a lifestyle brand, developing a cult following online among influencers, celebrities and casual drinkers. Known for its wildly popular <a href="https://www.summerwater.com/">Summer Water Societ&eacute;</a>, the world&rsquo;s 1st ros&eacute; subscription, the brand has also found acclaim through the support of the nation&rsquo;s top accounts. For example, Summer Water is the official wine of the Hollywood Bowl.&nbsp;
The brand was originally launched with a digital strategy, but after seeing success in its first few months in Southern California and Whole Foods Market Inc. stores, now has a national footprint across numerous major retail chains and restaurants.
&ldquo;Winc has a unique opportunity to innovate in our category and SW serves as a case study for our model. Through digital marketing and scaled at-home trial with the younger apex consumer, we have built a leading national ros&eacute; brand. We believe this release is the next step in building on this valuable franchise and executing on our long-term vision for omnichannel growth,&rdquo; said Winc&rsquo;s Co-Founder and President Brian Smith.

28 Stocks Moving In Monday's Mid-Day Session

Benzinga&rsquo;s weekly Stock Wars matches up two leaders in a major industry sector, with the goal of determining which company is the better investment.
This week, the duel is between two wine industry companies:&nbsp;The Duckhorn Portfolio Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/napa#NYSE">NAPA</a>) and Willamette Valley Vineyards, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wvvi#NASDAQ">WVVI</a>).
The Case For The Duckhorn Portfolio:&nbsp;Founded in 1976&nbsp;by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn when they&nbsp;opened&nbsp;their merlot-focused Duckhorn Vineyards in California&rsquo;s Napa Valley, this company encompasses 10 wineries, eight winemaking facilities, seven tasting rooms and more than 800 acres of vineyards spanning 22 estate properties.
The company&rsquo;s luxury wine brands include Duckhorn Vineyards, Decoy, Kosta Browne, Goldeneye, Paraduxx, Calera, Migration, Canvasback, Greenwing and Postmark, with wines retailing from $20 to $200 and are sold across the U.S. and in 50 countries.
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UXb9Xceg_C0" width="560"></iframe>
The private equity firm TSG Consumer Partners LLC acquired Duckhorn from another private equity firm, GI Partners, in 2016. The company held its initial public offering on March 17, 2021, with 20 million shares of its common stock to the public&nbsp;with 13.3 million shares being offered by Duckhorn and the remainder offered by its existing stockholder at $15&nbsp;per share.
According to a <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-03-18/napa-valley-winemaker-duckhorn-rises-after-300-million-ipo">Bloomberg</a> report, the shares rose as much as 29% during the first day of trading and closed at $17.18, giving the company a market value of $1.98 billion.
In its most recent earnings report, the fiscal year fourth-quarter&nbsp;data published on Oct. 4, the company reported net sales of $70.9 million, up from $52.2 million in the prior year, and a gross profit of $34.4 million, up from $25.9 million one year before.
Duckhorn&rsquo;s net income was $7.4 million, or 6 cents per diluted share, versus a net loss of $2.7 million, or -3 cents per diluted share, in the prior-year period, while its adjusted net income was $9.2 million, or 8 cents per diluted share, versus $7.4 million, or 7 cents per diluted share, one year earlier.
&ldquo;Our brand equity, diversified omnichannel platform and highly flexible supply chain position us very well to capitalize on the heightened interest and demand for high-quality wine, all of which contributed to another period of robust sales and volume growth,&rdquo; said chairman and CEO Alex Ryan. &ldquo;Importantly, we continue to achieve profitable results in an environmentally sustainable manner.&rdquo;
Duckhorn opened for trading on Wednesday at $21.49; since going public roughly seven months ago, its shares have traded in the range of $16.16 to $25.25.

The Case For Willamette Valley Vineyards: Named after the&nbsp;Oregon region, this company was founded in 1983 by Jim Bernau and Don Voorhies and has become acclaimed over the years for its pinot noir, pinot gris and chardonnay.
In September 1988, the company made history when Bernau received approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to conduct the first successful self-underwritten Regulation A public offering. By the time this initiative concluded in May 1989, Bernau achieved the nation&rsquo;s first &ldquo;crowdfunded&rdquo; consumer-owned business with approximately 1,000 investing an average of $1,500 each.
<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/f6w5aURqeEQ" width="560"></iframe>
In its most recent earnings report, the second-quarter&nbsp;data published on Aug. 12, the company reported sales revenue of $8.9 million, up from $5.5 million one year earlier, and a gross profit of $5.1 million, up from $3.5 million in the previous year.
The second-quarter&nbsp;net income was just over $1 million with earnings per common share at 14 cents, compared to $620,421 in net income and 7 cents worth of earnings per common share in the previous year.
&ldquo;Our wine sales directly to wine enthusiasts and to our wholesalers&#39; accounts has never been higher during this first six months of 2021,&rdquo; said Bernau. &ldquo;While labor shortages and supply chain disruptions have been challenging, we remain on course to open our new sparkling winery near Dundee and winery restaurants as planned. The construction of an additional 50,000 cases of fermentation capacity is on schedule and expected to be ready before what now appears to be one of Oregon&#39;s earliest harvests.&rdquo;
Willamette Valley Vineyards opened for trading on Wednesday at $12.95, sandwiched between its 52-week range of $6 and $16.54.
The Verdict: Relatively few wine industry companies are publicly traded, which is not surprising when one considers the distinctive challenges involved in wine production, ranging from the impact of weather on grape crops to the aging process required before the finished products can be sold. This is not an item that can be manufactured in a rapid assembly-line process.
The U.S. wine industry recorded 27 consecutive annual gains through 2020 but is expected to see a 0.5% volume decrease this year, down to 335.4 million 9-liter cases, according to the 2021 edition of &ldquo;The U.S. Wine Market: Shanken&rsquo;s Impact Databank Review &amp; Forecast.&rdquo;
&ldquo;While the U.S. has been the world&rsquo;s largest wine-consuming market since 2013, volume growth has been modest at best in each of the past 10 years due to fierce competition from whiskies, hard seltzer, and other ready-to-drink brands,&rdquo; the Shanken report said. &ldquo;While the wine industry registered an above-average 2% volume increase last year owing to off-premise gains during the pandemic, wine continues to lose market share to spirits and flavored malt beverages.&rdquo;
If The Duckhorn Portfolio and Willamette Valley Vineyards seem to be on the smallish side in terms of revenue, consider that the only U.S. brand with more than $1 billion in retail sales is Barefoot Cellars from Grape Links Inc.
In choosing which of these two stocks is the strongest, Willamette Valley Vineyards clearly has a track record of success and its Oregon wines are holding their own in a highly competitive market &mdash;&nbsp;only 1% of U.S. wine is sourced from Oregon.
But, The Duckhorn Portfolio came roaring out of the IPO tunnel like a freight train and is trading higher than its well-established rival. Even with seven months in trading,
The Duckhorn Portfolio is still at a ground-floor level for investors looking for long-term growth. For that reason, we raise our Stock Wars glass in cheers to The Duckhorn Portfolio as the better investment in this duel of shares.
