Oliver Winery in Bloomington has been named an Impact “Blue Chip” Brand for 2021 by the publisher of industry magazine Wine Spectator. The award is given each year to the best-performing major players in the industry over the long term.
New York-based M. Shanken Communications publishes a variety of magazines for the wine, beer and spirits industries and provides data, trends and analysis of those sectors.
Oliver is one of 21 wine brands recognized this year and the only U.S.-based winery outside of California to earn the award.
“We are honored to be recognized as one of the strongest brands in the wine industry,” said Julie Adams, CEO of Oliver Winery. “Over the last 50 years, we have remained true to our roots and are proud to represent refreshingly real wines on a national scale.”
To earn the honor, brands must show at least 10 consecutive years of volume growth. Adams says over the past ten years, Oliver Winery has seen an average annual growth rate of 9.3%. It is now distributed in more than 40 states.
