Richard Evans of Dedicated Wines gives his 2 Good, 2 Bad memories of 2013 and looks ahead with his hopes and fears for 2014.
2013
2 Good:
1 Sailing race across the Atlantic, starting from Tower Bridge - they opened it for us! Ending in Rio and raising £8,500 for Macmillan and Prostate Cancer research in the process
2 Les Dauphins getting six national listings in the UK.
2 Bad:
1 The trade continuing to 'talk to itself'
2 Ed (my business partner) insisting I come back after Rio and not sail on to Cape Town!
2014
Hopes
1 France will continue to grow value market share and help grow retailers margins.
Fears
France will probably lose volume market share, but of the two I know which one is vital to have!
