Ryan S. Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Does anyone know if there is somewhere to get that info from? Preferably for free.....Specifically Im trying to get case sales numbers by company for vodka in the States and Globally. Thanks, Ryan Sovelius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John McKee Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 The best place to find info like this is to call a Control State and ask for their sales records. Most will give you the data by year, in Excel format, for all sales......often for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristian Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 DISCUS has some good info under their economics tab on their website. www.discus.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickdiculous Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 I'll second what John said about asking the states for the info. When I was planning my distillery for Iowa, before moving to minnesota, I got a complete list (which is available on the Iowa control board website) which gave every liquor company they allowed in the state and sales. So I could see how much Temple Rye, Cedar Ridge, and Mississippi River Distilling were sending to the state as my direct competition. They also listed the big guys too.

Jedd Haas Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 As Kristian mentions, DISCUS has a lot of good data. Do the following search in google: industry review pdf site:discus.org The DISCUS reports break it down by type. Data by company seems to be a lot harder to come by as it's generally considered proprietary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickdiculous Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 While some companies may want to hide their numbers to protect their interests, this information is not proprietary. For example, I found this from the state of Iowa with only a single search of "Iowa alcohol control board" and then clicked the "about" link in the nav bar, and went to annual report. http://www.iowaabd.com/files/client_files/522/2251/vendor_analysis.pdf Do a little research and you can find all of this. This is exactly what the big guys are doing to find out what your numbers are to see if they might want to buy you. Just put a little time in.

slew Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 I second Rick's comment -- it differs by state and you'll find the control board (or taxing authority) the best place to start. For Illinois, for example, I've confirmed via a FOIA request to Dept. of Revenue that they don't maintain this kind of information with any kind of specificity. They can only tell you the tax revenue obtained from the sale of alcohol, but even that is only split into three main buckets (i.e. they don't maintain for whiskey v. vodka v. gin).
