Almost every person involved in the production side of the white wine organization want to check out the future to glance the worth of next year’s harvest. Grape Growers need to know how much fruit will be on the vine, and wineries would like to know what cost they’ll need to pay for grapes.
For nearly 50 years, Turrentine Brokerage has actually been anticipating wine industry cycles with a high degree of precision, using their understanding of the marketplace’s history, tons and bulk white wine readily available for sale, total wine grapes acres planted in California and consumer purchasing.
“We have the ability to anticipate whether we’re going to enter into a long or a short market,” says Christian Klier, North Coast Grape Broker for Turrentine Brokerage. “Historically, the white wine market has actually run on around seven-year cycles of upward usage followed by 7-10 years of down intake. But the pandemic upset all expectations and plans, and everyone is recalibrating. We moved from heading into a down market three years ago to customers drinking more wine during the pandemic.”

The Turrentine Brokerage group believes the marketplace might be going back to its pre-pandemic position. Although alcohol usage has actually decreased from the pandemic high, three years of short crops have actually kept the marketplace strong. Klier explains that the white wine service is likewise in transition as Baby Boomers age out and Millennials have actually not yet taken to white wine.
The grape brokers at Turrentine are university-trained in grape growing, and Klier himself is fluent in farming practices and helping growers improve the quality of their grapes. He worked his way up at Welch Vineyard Management in Mendocino County to lead vineyard operations for 1500 acres and after that rose to VP of farming operations at Shannon Ranches, Inc., covering 4500 acres in Northern California.
“The North Coast market has actually continued to be active in 2022, with two short crops in a row, wineries have actually continued contracting grapes. We expect this activity to continue into the first quarter of 2023.” Klier discusses.
