U .S. wine sales strengthened in Novem- ber, market research firm bw166 re- ported, rising 6% to $4.3 billion. The growth underscored positive trends bw166 has noted in recent months, and occurred in ad- vance of what's typically the strongest period of the year for wine sales. Domestic table wine sales increased nearly 6% to $4 billion while sparkling wines gained just 2% in the month. Bulk wine sales were flat, reflecting lower demand as wineries sought to manage do- mestic wine supplies following a bountiful harvest. Total volume didn't grow as fast as sales value, however, rising 4% in the month to more than 27 million cases. The phenomenon points to a more discerning consumer: willing to spend but selec- tive when it comes to purchases. A similar trend was evident in the latest 12 months, with the value of domestic wine sales rising 4% to $47.6 billion versus a 3% gain in case volumes. While sales of packaged imports in- creased 8% in the period, domestic wines led in actual dollar terms with a gain of $1.7 billion. Together, the categories drove total wine sales in the U.S. to $71 billion, 5% higher than a year ago. —Peter Mitham U.S. Wine Sales Winery Job Index MONTH November 2018 183 November 2017 190 12 MONTHS November 2018 337 November 2017 315 MONTHLY INDEX 7% U.S. Wine Sales Rise 6% in November Source: winejobs.com Winejobs.com Index 500 400 300 200 100 0 2018 2017 Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov 2017 -4%
