While Kravis Kohlberg and Roberts will, much to their
chagrin, be forever associated with the acclaimed novel and precursor to a financial
model that both created and destroyed value across the world; it’s application
with the wine industry is interesting. It can definitely be leveraged as a tool
to fuel significant growth aspirations, but may also be odds with the tension
between financial returns and quality, authenticity and legacy. It may also be
an interesting tool to diversify wealth for many family owned businesses, as
well as method through which to strategize succession planning when there may
not be interest or talent within the current generation. Given the global
trends with respect to wine demand, watch this space for more geared growth
deals, and possible consolidation within particular parts of the community.
