Increases in disposable income, consumer spending, and demand from beer, wine, and liquor stores will drive revenue growth, as will the continual decline in the real price of excise taxes on wine and distilled spirits. Industry operators will continue to fight any attempts at deregulation, although no immediate threats exist. Over the five years to 2024, industry revenue is estimated to increase an annualized 2.9% to $128.5 billion in 2024,” according to IBIS World Industry Market Research.  The Bellissima offerings include Prosecco DOC Brut, Sparkling Rosé Wine, and Zero Sugar Sparkling Wine, all made with organic grapes and certified vegan and gluten free.In Italian, Bellissima doesn’t just mean beautiful, but “most beautiful.” This spirit inspires the Company’s collection of Prosecco and Sparkling Wines, developed in concert with one of the world’s most beautiful women, Christie Brinkley.The Company believes an occasion for Bellissima is an occasion to celebrate life’s most beautiful moments among friends, family, lovers, and lovers-to-be.
