SELLING COGNAC TO NON-TRADITIONAL COGNAC CUSTOMERS

Cognac Landscape
Cognac Landscape

Cognac producers are looking at cocktails, product innovations (craft cognac) and new type of consumers to expand says Reuters in this video and article.

The purpose is to widen the consumer base without alienating the current and sort of traditional cognac customers, ie, Chinese and African American.

This is a rather difficult task as one can imagine that talking about celebrity appeals such as rappers and terroirs at the same time might be rather confusing.

YOU ARE LOOKING FOR CRAFT AND ARTISANAL SPIRITS AND YOU ARE WONDERING WHERE TO GO IN LOS ANGELES TO FIND THESE?

CBS NEWS offered an article which highlighted some of the best places (seven) to go to get these craft spirits, these artisanal alcoholic beverages made in small batches which are so important to create an authentic cocktail.

I added a few more. These places took the courage to sell craft spirits. Spirits made in small scale without large multi-media advertising campaigns. Some started selling artisanal spirits before it became a consumer trend and therefore were leading the trend, and some other were reacting to consumer demands, but at the end none of them are looking back.
