Big Island Fine Wine Sales Representative

Big Island Fine Wine Sales Representative-Johnson Brothers is a privately owned family company based in St. Paul, Minnesota. It has operations in selected markets across the country. The company is involved in many aspects of the wine and spirits industry, but is primarily a wholesale wine/spirits beverage distributor.Did you know that wine consumption in this country has grown from about 72 million gallons in 1940, to well over 700 million gallons today. That accounts for retail sales in excess of 10 billion dollars. This retail dollar volume exceeds such major established grocery categories as detergent, pet foods, paper products, and canned vegetables.
These figures are impressive when you consider that the American Wine Industry is just beginning to grow up. As we enter the new millennium, our culture is becoming more wine-oriented and health conscious. Today's young people are growing up in homes where wine is consumed with meals and is commonly found in the family refrigerator. This was not generally true for the generations of people who matured in the 70's, 80's, and early 90's.
In short, the future of the wine industry is exciting. We feel this should be an important factor for anyone making a career choice today.
