BREAKING: Gallo striking a "strategic partnership" with Montucky Cold Snacks. At first blush, this is crazy!

Developing.

Wine and Spirits: in the beer news, a wine company now makes its way into beer, against the “data” and all those “downward” consumer trends. It’s called innovation and leadership. And for those two elements, size does not matter! How many Big brands and companies behave like bureaucratic governments and stifle innovation, in all sectors? It is not about size, it’s all about mindset. Too many large, small and medium companies are rigid with respect to data and parrot it accordingly to support internal inertia. And then there are the creators, innovators for whom the same data signals an open door. Glass half empty, a glass half full 🍺 🍷. #wine #winebiz #wineandspirits #marketing #beer #sales #CPG #b2b #b2c #consumer #FMCG

If milk 🥛 is left to spoil, it becomes yogurt. Yogurt is more valuable than milk. If it ferments further, it becomes cheese 🧀. Cheese is more valuable than both yogurt and milk. Similarly, if grape juice 🍇 ferments, it turns into wine 🍷. Wine is even more expensive than grape juice. You're not bad because you made mistakes. Mistakes are experiences that make you more valuable as a person. 💪 Christopher Columbus made a navigation error that led him to discover America 🌍. Alexander Fleming's mistake led him to invent penicillin 💉. Don't let your mistakes depress you. It's not practice that makes perfect. It's the mistakes we learn from that make us perfect! ✨ #ValueInMistakes #LearningFromMistakes #PersonalGrowth #Innovation #MistakesToSuccess #GrowthMindset #Resilience #EmbraceFailure #ContinuousImprovement #SuccessJourney #ProfessionalDevelopment #Leadership #Motivation #Inspiration
