Wineries, distilleries & breweries — this one’s for you 🍷🥃🍺

OBBBA just delivered lower federal excise tax rates, and most brands still don’t realize how much money they’re leaving on the table.

If you produce alcohol in the U.S., this = real cash back in your business.

Don’t sleep on this 👀

Audit finished goods, raw materials, and packaging so your counts match your books. Identify slow-moving SKUs and plan intentional promos or bundles to move them. Keeping inventory tight in February protects cash before spring demand ramps up.

Close January with clean numbers and separate tasting room/DTC sales from distribution sales. Review what actually sold, what sat, and what it cost to produce and package. February is the perfect time to reset pricing and production decisions with real data.

• Review your “true” margin: product cost + packaging + labor + overhead.
• Price seasonal releases with intent (limited runs should earn premium margin).
• Update your wholesale pricing if costs increased and margins compressed.

Raising prices blindly can hurt volume—but staying underpriced quietly kills profit. January is the best time to align pricing with costs and brand positioning.

𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 = 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗵 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 📦💵

• Do a clean inventory count and reconcile to your books.
• Identify slow-moving SKUs and plan promos or bundles strategically.
• Set reorder points based on real sell-through (not gut feel).

Inventory is one of the biggest cash traps in this industry. A January reset makes your financials more accurate and prevents overproduction that ties up cash.
