SUCCESSES

OGIO

Between 2006 and 2010 Copestick Murray worked with Ogio brand owner and producer Winery Exchange in developing this new brand to meet the demand of the growing Pinot Grigio market. The gap was spotted, wine sourced and a brand developed.

Ogio now sells over 2m cases in the UK alone and is selling in other key markets including Ireland, Asia and the US.

Hijos de Antonio Barceló

This leading Spanish wine company had developed a strong position in the UK market but came to Copestick Murray wanting to develop new business opportunities and channels.

Copestick Murray has been able to strengthen the Hijos de Antonio Barceló brand position with leading UK retailers, Source Wines has extended presence in the UK on-trade and Cornerstone US Wine Imports has grown the Spanish company’s sales in the U.S.

Viña Casablanca

Back in the early ‘90s Viña Casablanca was one of the leading Chilean brands in the UK market, but an explosion of brands in this sector saw the brand squeezed out of the off-trade towards the end of the decade.

Under Copestick Murray and the dedicated on-trade arm of the company, Source Wines, the brand is now building on its strong quality foundations and enjoying a renaissance in the U.K market with listings in top London restaurants and premium brand presence in leading off-trade accounts.

I.E.I

I.E.I are the newest recruit to the Copestick Murray, having previously worked with Cornerstone in the US. Whilst I.E.I are successful in Italy and the rest of Europe they had found it hard to crack the UK market and came to Copestick Murray for help.

IEI now have a number of new listings in various retailers across the UK as well as an impressive range in the Source portfolio.

Fresh & Easy

Using our market knowledge, sourcing expertise and brand-building skills we’ve developed a range of over 50 wines to date specifically for Fresh & Easy, the chain of convenience stores that opened across the U.S. in 2007.

Bonfils

Bonfils have been in partnership with Copestick Murray since the start.

Bonfils are a driving force in the South of France but had found it difficult to penetrate the UK and US markets.

Having recognised their excellent raw material and ability to go far, Copestick Murray has helped Bonfils unlock their potential in the UK and US markets. Today Bonfils have numerous listings across UK and US retailers with many more in the pipeline.
