Flash Offers Continue to Fall The Flash Report Complete flash data is available at winesandvines.com/flash METRICS 12 WINES&VINES April 2016 T he total number of flash of- fers in February was lower than the previous year as a trend of slumping offers contin- ued for the fourth straight month. Invino had the second highest number of offers in February at 68, but last year the website held a special sales drive that resulted in 182 offers. The 533 offers in February 2015 appear to be more of an aberration when one consid- ers the total for the month was 408 in 2014 and 385 in 2013. California wineries account for nearly all of the wines offered by flash websites, but the Northwest has the largest share of offers from wineries outside the Golden State. During the past 12 months, flash websites made a total of 541 offers of wines from Northwest wineries. These offers were almost split in half between Oregon's 262 offers and Washington's 279 offers. Nearly half of the wines from Washington wineries had flash prices of less than $15, while most of the Oregon offers had flash prices between $15 and $30. Most of the Oregon wines are Pinot Noir, which fetches relatively high prices. Pinot Noir accounted for three-fourths of all of the Oregon offers. A few Pinots offered by flash sites did come from Wash- ington wineries, but those wines were made with grapes from ei- ther Oregon or California. —Andrew Adams Flash Reseller Offers MONTH February 2016 439 February 2015 533 12 MONTHS February 2016 6,534 February 2015 6,261 -18% 4% QST offers its clients…….
