After surviving Colorado’s historic floods in 2013, Spirit Hound Distillers rebuilt and created a fantastic Straight Malt Whisky. Coming from the initial White Dog spirit, which is outstanding on it’s own, Spirit Hound has created a unique whiskey that varies from barrel to barrel.
Craft wine continues to grow in popularity as more local wineries open and the industry expands. Many of today’s winery owners started as home brewers and winemakers. Now that they have turned their hobby into a business, they are able to help other wine enthusiasts experience the magic of making wine. By offering batches, wineries let their customers go hands-on and create their own vintage from making the wine to bottling.
When it comes to the business of craft wineries, there are several potential income streams that keep the business in the black. From serving wine in the tasting room to selling bottles in the winery and local liquor stores, profits are available in a variety of ways. Winery VIP Clubs are a fantastic way to help the winery generate revenue and maintain a connection with their clientele, and a great way for the consumer to get to know their local craft wineries.
