Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue:

Global market review of the travel retail drinks sector

http://www.reportlinker.com/p0285402/Global-market-review-of-the-travel-retail-drinks-sector.html

Travel retail, viewed as an individual market, would rank as the 18th largest spirits market in volume terms. This makes it larger than such substantial markets as Canada, Italy, South Africa, the Netherlands or Australia. In terms of premium-and-above sales, travel retail would rank as the second-largest global market (falling only behind the US) with sales of 6.7m cases.

Travel retail's importance extends beyond just sales. As the most international market it presents an optimum shop window for brand building. Airport travel retail's upscale clientele makes it a particularly hospitable environment for premium and luxury brands. For this reason suppliers are willing to accept considerably lower profit margins in travel retail than they do in domestic markets.

This report provides a global review of the alcoholic drinks sector within travel retail. Data includes latest (to 2009) consumption volumes of duty free wine and spirits by region, rankings of spirits and wine companies and brands, and top spirits companies and their brands' volumes by region.

For the crowds at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, cocktails serve as the perfect accessory to this year's impressive lineup of designers. In fact, two signature cocktails created by EFFEN® Vodka - the Official Vodka Sponsor - will be served Sept. 9 - 16 during the Lincoln Center festivities.

EFFEN, which means "smooth" in Dutch, designed the "EFFEN Hautini" and "EFFEN Picture Perfect" for legal-purchase-age guests who gather to see more than 90 of the world's most established and up-and-coming designers. However, it's easy to recreate the runway excitement of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week at home with a well-designed cocktail using EFFEN Vodka, which is also perfect on the rocks, neat, or in a mixed drink:

As the Official Vodka Sponsor at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, EFFEN designed these signature creations to be served in VIP lounges, during exclusive cocktail events and passed in between top designer shows in the main lobby. Known for its meaningful design, EFFEN brings smooth taste and a fashion-forward look that are right at home with the talented designers at the event.

Acquired by Beam Global in June 2009 from the Sazerac Company, the super-premium EFFEN Vodka rounded out the company's vodka portfolio.  As the only vodka created by the industry, for the industry, EFFEN offers not only a world-class liquid but a sleek, form-meets-function design. Produced in Holland from Dutch wheat, the EFFEN line includes EFFEN® Vodka, EFFEN® Black Cherry Vodka and EFFEN® Raspberry Vodka. EFFEN is sold nationwide and is available in 50ml, 375ml, 750ml and 1.75L bottles.

Proprietors of Skipstone, Fahri Diner and Jill Layman, announce the transfer of winemaking operations to Atelier Melka under the direction of renowned Winemaking Consultant Philippe Melka. High Tech Entrepreneur Diner together with Layman launched the Skipstone brand in Oct 2008 after gathering a world-class team of wine industry notables including Vineyard Manager Ulises Valdez and Organic Farming Specialist Amigo Bob Cantisano with Philippe Melka offering his services as consultant.  Melka is expanding his role to include estate vineyard management in collaboration with the existing team at Skipstone and will be handling production from his consulting service, Atelier Melka, with a base of operations at Vineyard 29. Melka was named one of the top nine wine consultants in the world by Robert Parker, Jr. and his impressive client roster includes Vineyard 29, Hundred Acre and DANA estate.  "Melka is extremely selective of the projects he involves himself with and we feel excited about his expanded role with us. His expertise is invaluable," says Diner.

Skipstone represents the only project Philippe Melka is associated with in the Alexander Valley AVA located in Sonoma County. The 200-acre estate is CCOF (California Certified Organic Farmers) certified Organic, 100% solar powered, and is operated and farmed sustainably. The property features a 7 acre olive grove, 1.5 acres of organic culinary gardens and orchards, and a 30-acre amphitheater shaped vineyard carved into steep mountain hillsides in the Mayacamas. Because of the dynamic shape of the vineyard, it is partitioned into 42 micro viticultural blocks, some as small as .12 acres, with yields of only 1-2 tons per acre. Atelier Melka will oversee the precision viticultural practices associated with farming so many unique areas by hand and then will work with the many resulting components in winemaking and finally blending.

Skipstone was affectionately named for a shared vision Diner and Layman once had while skipping stones by the water. Named after their three young children, the current estate portfolio consists of two wines, Makena's Vineyard Viognier and Oliver's Blend Proprietary Red (limited annual production of 300-500 cases combined), and award winning Melina's Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

For more information on Skipstone, please contact Brook Drummond, Director of Marketing and Public Relations at 707.433.9124, email info@skipstoneranch.com or visit www.skipstonewines.com.  

Skipstone wines are available for tasting at Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley, 6711 Washington Street, Yountville, Ca. www.maisonry.com 707.944.0889
