wine2wine Business Forum unveils 150 most-placed Italian wines in American restaurants

 

wine2wine Business Forum, the influential wine industry conference hosted in Verona on 13-14 November 2023, presents the 150 most-placed wines in American restaurants as powered by data-partner Somm.ai. The list, available now on the wine2wine Business Forum website, provides users with a unique snapshot of the drinking habits of American restaurant-goers, enabling producers to understand evolving tastes, preferences and price points, all with the overall objective of improving on-premise sales. 

 

Stevie Kim, managing director of Vinitaly International, said: “The list of the 150 top-selling wines in American restaurants provides a fascinating insight into the consumer habits of American drinkers and is essential reading for any Italian producer with an interest in the American market. Not only does it tell us what Americans are drinking but it also includes crucial information about pricing and market trends.” 

Jeremy Hart, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-Founder of Somm.ai, said: “We are delighted to be collaborating with wine2wine Business Forum to help Italian producers better understand consumer behaviour in the US on-premise market. The restaurant industry is a dynamic and constantly evolving environment and staying up-to-date with the latest trends and consumer preferences can be a challenge. Our data analytics tool gives producers invaluable insight, allowing them to make better informed decisions about how to approach this complex but lucrative market.” 

Somm.ai was founded by 29-year-old David Kong and is used by several leading wine companies. A representative from Somm.ai will be on hand at the wine2wine Business Forum 2023 in Verona to introduce the data and answer any questions attendees may have.
