Wine Sales 101

[rsklebar]

Glazers St Louis

[333canoe]

This is exactly how RNDC does business. And they wonder why they haven't turned a profit in Florida in 7 years.

[RAMoore1159]

I can't get over how much this sounds like our sales rep from Republic Beverage. Such a great job!!!!!

[winetrippingTV]

This stuff makes me crack up every time!

[noblerottt]

I sell wine fora distributor. These vids are the best!!!!

[bassmule]

As funny and true as this is, it still boggles the mind that a winery will release something that they know is crap, and expect distributors to push it through anyway. Then again, if your approach to selling wine is like Detroit's to selling cars (at least until recently), what else to expect?

[daaapoop]

that is why only ididots drink wine. liquor is far more sophisticated and authentic

[wynlover]

Ididots??????  Hmmmm???????

[hymnofashes]

@daaapoop dumbass

[shavemybuttlips]

@daaapoop I sell liquor, dont fool yourself. Its exactly the same program.

[LolitsMickey]

rofl copter ur all such nooobs XD

[timstratman]

That's why I sell good wine produced by people in a vineyard and NOT executives in a boardroom

[imstm]

i got a salesman video 2.. i got 4 but.. haha..

[cecilleB]

Boring and heavy handed. Sarcasm should float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

If you were my client, I'd send you back to the drawing board for a new concept.

Sorry but: Fail!

[swantab3]

Do you work for SWS??? LOL!!!

[nanerpussss]

This is so true on premise and off premise. I think it stinks of Gallo or maybe another company's products I might sell.

[stu1018]

Why I stay in retail wine sales.

[agreene1972]

so true....been there and done that

[vinum101]

LOL

this is sooooo true

[TDNChick]

This is totally funny...and true for so many. I have been on three sides of the wine business. This is hilarious and true in so many cases.

[Denniswine2]

Oh my God. I lived this conversation on a monthly basis at four different distributors until I got out of the trade. Whoever created this is a genius.

[bentcreek2625]

Sounds like 10-15 of the hobby wholesalers in GA!

[prkmnstr]

hey Moldova wine geek; of course you hate Oregon wines.........anything that overshadows shit Moldovan wines you would dis!

[TDNChick]

Eh, those who talk shit, usually do not know shit.

[torycw]

No, that would be Moldovan wines. I am a Fred Meyer wine steward, and I've had your wines, they suck. If they retailed for $5.99, maybe, but not for the prices you were charging. Quit blaming other people for your failure, and look at your dumb-ass business model.

[Moldovawineimporter]

There was no way you had any of my wines because you claim to be in Seatte Washington and I do not sell any of my wines in Washington states at all .

Also you can not name the correct name of my company so your just a lier and a ass hole looking to start trouble on these post !

[JMickyB]

As a retailer in Portland I take offense at these comments. While some of his Moldovan wines were OK, they were way over-priced to break into a market where too many people want the same boring wines. When I find it hard to sell lovely Italian wines such as Raboso and Ciro Rosso, why should I take on inventory cost for totally unknown wines? I've tried India, Brasil, and some other places. Lesser known wine producing areas need to be at bargain prices in today's environment.

[JMickyB]

I suggest Moldovawineimporter should be careful about his comments if he does not want lawyers on his doorstep. I do not see how saying I found other people's comments about his wines offensive, and said his wines were OK but over-priced that I am a low life dush (sic) bag person. My comment was the first I've ever put on youtube and I've never done anything on Craigs List. I would like an apology from the importer.

[JMickyB]

Are you Dale Benson of Moldova Traders if you are not, I apologize to Mr. Benson. Im the owner of a wine shop in Portland that has been open for over 15 years. I no longer have my tasting notes, but seem to remember wines coming from a Chateau Vartely. Most were from international varietals, but I remember an interesting white from a grape that I think was called Feteasca. You have a funny way of treating potential customers by abusing them. I am still awaiting an apology.

[MsSundogs]

Yes, J MickeyB.. that is Dale Benson.He knows very little about anything. He's a disgusting know-it-all who constantly brags on himself. He's an almost 50 year old lazy, filthy slob who lives with his mother in a house that is so littered with his garbage and junk, that it's a neighborhood eyesore.

He's never held a real job for any length of time, and is such a repulsive lowlife that even some of his relatives refuse to be anywhere around him.

Good luck on that apology!

[Alaskanguide1]

Here is where you never use someones name wiith out their written permition as an example between true slandering someone and just poking fun !

LMickyB -MsSundog - Torycw are all the same person I beleive personally .

This person has use Craigs list and this site to write awful untrue slander against me and my company .

I m the person who is being slandered here and I have now started steps to find this peron to bring then to court for slander charges .

The Police now Know MsSundogs !

[alembic54]

That may be so Mr. Wine Guy. But as a 22 year veteran of the wholesale business in NYC, I can tell you that its more true than ever right now. Brilliant video. Kudos to you.

[syr1811]

Yeah, I think this only seems funny to those not in the know (or the trenches! lol).

[ronarete]

No, just the opposite...especially funny to those who live it. Yes, I see it everywhere I go selling wine in the U.S. I will be using this in my classes at Cal Poly and Davis as an intro. Priceless!

[syvgirl]

This sort of shite is exactly what I put up with daily. Highly allocated, only 1 case released to the world, RP best buy 98 pts, ST 99 pts, would you like your case? Going quickly, marked down to the dumpster where it belongs. 9 months later where it's still sitting, collecting dust, the following vintage, which is worst and has a shelf life of exactly 3 days, shows up. Go ahead make your own wine I dare you.

Living the dream.

[geyernavy]

Every end of the month the Wine Managers were given a quota by a Liquor guy who expected miracles. He didn't understand relationships becuase he didn't have any. New Jersey is like all the major markets. Mr Wine 101 is absolutely on target.

[BulgarianWine]

Well done, gives me hope for my wines

[TheVinoBambino]

Are you kidding? They resemble EVERY salesperson in the industry. i AM a salesperson in the industry &, well, this is pretty much exactly how it is. THAKS, DUDE!!! Awesomeness!!!!

[RIRA1916]

God Love you for living my life in the middle of the country. Yes it is a fact outside of CA. We get the same crap, or crap that you don't sell makes it way east as a " hey we got a deal for you on this limited release wine"

[apesee1]

OMGoodness. So..soo.. True! Is this true in the rest of the country too? Outside of California

[f1r9a4c9is]

Boy, SWS is going to be pissed that one of their training videos got out!

[bellayellow]

Isn't that the absolute truth. And yes, forcing it on us Retail Wine Stores too!

[ccwineguy]

Solid....hit the nail on the head.

[StillmanBrown]

That's a great price point on the Chard, I'll take ten.

[TwinMountain]

How funny is this?! I think we all know which distributor is in question here. Come on. Tell me who put this up! I won't tell. You know me :-)

[WineObsessed]

This is simply great. True to the bone

[matentupe]

This smacks of Chandon....

well played and thanks for putting back up.

[MrWineguy101]

The characters in this video are fictitious and any resemblence to actual salespersons working in the wine industry are purely coincidental.

[winebrat00]

Perfectly said !!!
