Who Are The Energy Nerds?
And how does wine play into all this?
Well, first off, we're nerd-adjacent.
We're only nerd-adjacent, thankyouverymuch. The rest of the office contains the real spreadsheet gurus. We won't bore you with Excel or formulas, but we will talk about how we can save your hard-earned profits in ways you probably haven't considered (yet).
And as a bonus, we do love wine. Elise's favorite is a good, strong, smooth Cab. Lizzy prefers a red blend. She doesn't discriminate when it comes to grapes.
But at the end of the day (with a good glass of wine in hand), we are nerds about saving energy -- and money -- for rural small businesses like yours.
It's not your job to think about energy.
Margins are tight these days. The U.S. wine industry is experiencing a significant downturn, driven by consumption falling to its lowest level in 90 years.
There are shifting demographics at play: younger drinkers (Millennials/Gen Z) are consuming less, and they are not replacing the older, wine-focused demographic.
The market is also changing, with more players entering the industry and causing competition: wine is losing market share to Ready-To-Drink (RTD) cocktails, beer, and, increasingly, cannabis/non-alcoholic alternatives.
It's ours.
We assess and audit your property, machinery, process, and appliances (at 75% off if your business qualifies) to find where you're spending the most on energy -- and how we can help.
Most small businesses don't have time to concentrate on their energy spending (or how to become more efficient). You have a business to run.
That's where we come in. With tighter margins these days, saving every penny counts.
Let us help you find gaps in your energy outputs / processes and watch the savings add up.
We are officially contracted with the USDA.
