Bibendum’s Taste Test is a ground-breaking tasting system, based on 80 years of psycho-sensory research, which aims to demystify the culture of wine, help newcomers find styles that they enjoy drinking and introduce new styles to wine drinkers who are stuck in a rut.

The test is a short series of questions, the answers to which help us calculate an individual’s sensitivity to different flavours. Everyone has their own personal sensitivity but in broad terms we all fit into one of four flavour profiles – Sweet, Fresh, Smooth or Intense.

By calculating a person’s sensitivity we can match them to wines that are more suited to their flavour profile.

IER Laurent-Perrier suits every occasion and offers a unique experience for all senses through

its innovative and comprehensive range of champagnes.

Laurent-Perrier shares an epicurean vision with champagne lovers all over the world and has no higher ambition than to demonstrate an elegant Art de Vivre à la française, charged with emotion.

Laurent-Perrier traces its foundation to 1812 when a former cooper and bottler by the name of Alphonse Pierlot purchased two parcels of land named “Plaisances” and “La Tour Glorieux” in Tours-sur-Marne. Pierlot willed his company to his cellar master, Eugene Laurent, who ran it with his wife, Mathilde Emilie Perrier. After Eugene Laurent died in 1887 his widow, Mathilde, took control and attached her name to the company, changing it to Veuve (the French word for widow) Laurent-Perrier. Today Laurent-Perrier is one of the most recognisable champagne brands exporting to over 120 countries worldwide.

TOSTI. Prosecco has taken the UK by storm and Julie Fontaine from our Category Development Management team loves the fizzy stuff. Here are her thoughts.

Tosti is a fantastic Prosecco that’s crisp, fresh, fruity and off-dry making it perfect as an aperitif, or with all courses from smoked salmon or parma ham & melon as a starter to an asparagus risotto, or my favourite, a goats cheese salad as a main. It even works well when you get to dessert, if you’re not too full that is!

Tosti Prosecco is so versatile and extremely popular and works well in every type of business, whether you’re a pub, a restaurant, conference centre, or any other establishment.

Mendoza’s high altitude vineyards, desert-like climate and natural irrigation from Andean snow melt create the perfect conditions to produce world-class fruit.

The winemaking team at Argento first set out to unlock the extraordinary potential of Malbec and reveal its vibrant, velvety character and intense fruit flavours. Expanding on their success with Malbec, Argento now applies the same philosophy to producing Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Torrontes.

Following hot on the heels of a successful World Cup in 2014, Brazil will be kept firmly in the limelight in 2016 with the Rio Olympics. To make sure that you can add some truly Brazilian flair to your wine list, we have some exciting new wines to introduce from Miolo Wine Group.

Miolo is Brazil’s number one producer. Founded way back in 1897, it now owns a string of outstanding estates up and down the country. The bulk of its vineyards are in Campanha, down by the Uruguayan border, where the climate is perfect for international grapes such as Chardonnay.

One of Miolo’s specialities is sparkling wine. Originally made only for the domestic market, the UK has started to wake up to the potential of Brazilian fizz and we are lucky enough to have listed a brilliant example.

With a history that goes back to 1879, Don Alberto Valdivieso founded Champagne Valdivieso S.A., the first sparkling wine house of Chile and of South America. Since then, Valdivieso has been the most important and prestigious sparkling wine brand in Chile.

In the early 1980’s, based on this strong reputation, Valdivieso started the still wines project. The project is supported on two strong principles: a constant quest for excellence, and to produce different and attractive wines through a careful selection of different grape varieties and the best terroirs for each variety.

In a short time, Valdivieso obtained outstanding results in terms of awards, becoming the most awarded Chilean winery in the history of the Challenge International du Vin in Bordeaux and is one of the 10 largest Chilean wine exporters and one of the top exporters to Europe. A serious wine producer with highly recommended wines.

Bordeaux is France's largest fine wine region in both production and vineyard acreage (300,000 acres) and is made up of five main districts: Medoc, St Emilion, Pomerol,

Graves and Sauternes with 89% of Bordeaux wine being red and 11% white.

The key grape varieties in Bordeaux are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Carmenere, Malbec, Semillon, Saugivnon Blanc

and Muscadelle with almost all being blended.

The Bordeaux region produces approximately 60 to 70 million cases of wine each vintage and has more than 9,000 wine producers. It is said by many in the wine industry that Bordeaux is the very best in wine production and with the most expensive bottle of

Bordeaux wine selling for £135,000 it is hard to disagree.

Kleine Rust, produced by Stellenrust, bottled their first wine on the farm in 1928. Today the farm is run by brothers Tertius (winemaker) and Kobus (viticulturist), and it is the largest Fairtrade estate in South Africa, with 500 hectares under vine. The brothers are committed to following their father’s dream: to give something back to the workers, who have themselves given so much to the farm.

Stellenrust now boasts one of the biggest and most successful Black Economic Empowerment projects in South Africa. The project has resulted in seventy employees taking ownership of the land they farm. Tertius himself puts it more eloquently: ‘These are the men and women we grew up with, we played together when we were young and now we work together towards the same dream and goal.’

VIVANCO. Carol Nash from our Category Development Management team shares her thoughts. For me our new Rioja range from Vivanco is astounding. The white Rioja offers a different, and interesting inclusion to any wine list rather than the usual Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The white Rioja is crisp, fresh with notes of apples, zesty citrus fruits and an aftertaste that will have you reaching for your glass again and again. The Rose Rioja is a fabulous alternative to the dry Pinot Grigio Blush or sweet Zinfandel. Its flavours of redcurrant, strawberry and cherry offer the taste of summer in a glass – dare you to try to have only one glass! The Crianza has an abstract label but the liquid is something else. It offers all the usual flavours of a Crianza, bright, juicy red fruits, vanilla and spice with such a silky smooth body.

AMERICA. Adam Foster from our Category Development Management team shares his thoughts. Without the constraints of EU Law, Americans can grow what they want, where they want, have the money to invest in vineyards and are now producing some fantastic new styles as well as the classics. California has always been the “go-to” State when thinking of America, as you would with Bordeaux for France. However there are now states to the North of California and on the East Coast knocking on their door. Oregon and Washington State being those on the West Coast. Charles Smith’s range is perfect in understanding this new dynamic in America. Cool climate vineyards produce steely and mineral white wines while producing elegant reds that stand up to those from cooler climates in France. Charles Smith – Kung Fu Girl is one of my favourite white wines of all time. Peach, apple and slight apricot aromas balanced with fresh acidity for a palate cleansing mouth feel. With the modern label designs, Charles Smith brand looks great in a fridge or on the back bar. Californian Wines are still in demand, with Zinfandel Rosé being one of the most consumed wines in the UK, our Califia Falls Zinfandel Rosé is a perfect example of this. Red fruit notes including strawberry and raspberry create a fantastic tipple to drink in the Sun!

INES With his crinkly long hair, omnipresent shades and rebel demeanour, Charles Smith looks more

like the rock band manager he once was than a respected winemaker. For 11 years Charles Smith managed rock n roll bands like the Raveonettes and toured Europe with the Cardigans before landing in Walla Walla to follow his true passion; winemaking.

The hell-raiser turned winemaker has put down the guitar pick for a cork screw and the Jack Daniels for some supremely elegant wines which are now gaining a global wine reputation helping put the spotlight on wines from Washington State.

In 2006, Charles Smith created Charles Smith Wines: The Modernist Project, which centres on the trend that most people generally consume wine without delay. The intent is to create wines to be enjoyed now. The wines are full of flavour, balanced, and approachable with labels that really stand out from the crowd.

Sarah Sangster, our Senior Buyer, has her say.Craft beer today is enjoyed for everyday drinking and is known to enhance certain foods when paired and is often now found in the kitchen as a cooking ingredient. Craft brewers spend their time focusing the quality of their beer and there are loads of amazing ingredients to be found in craft beer. Most craft beers are between 5-10% ABV with the highest ABV of any craft beer recorded at 55% - the limited edition “The End of History” from Brewdog. Other benefits of Craft Beer are fewer calories and less trips to the loo (thanks to it not being watered down!) to name but two. There are now a staggering 1285 breweries operating in Britain so the choice is endless. We are increasing our range of craft beers for 2016 and customers will be able to buy Dead Pony, Abita Purple Haze, Portobello & Goose Island amongst others.

Matt Towe, the ViVAS Marketing Manager shares his thoughts. Although this beast of a category has trundled on over the past 5 years, last year saw a turning point with some fantastic imported whiskies booming in the UK market and the

continued growth of the Malt whisky sector. Combined scotch and imported whiskey sales are now worth over £1 billion in the UK on-trade and making sure you have the

right range in place for your customers is key. New to our portfolio this year is Haig Club – a single grain whisky from Diageo in that unforgettable iconic Blue block bottle, Labrot

& Grahams Woodford Reserve distillers select – from the oldest distillery in Kentucky and a wide range of fantastic malt whiskies which have all featured on our recent Malt

of the Month rotational scheme – plenty to keep your taste buds satisfied!

Matt Towe, the ViVAS Marketing Manager shares his thoughts. Rum is on a roll and is the spirit that rocks the world of many of today’s most popular

cocktails like Mojitos, Mai Tais and Daiquiris. Whether it be the recently popular golden or spiced rums or some of the interesting dark rums, we should have a range to meet

your requirements. New to our portfolio this year are; Red Leg Spiced rum – a sweet-spiced Jamaican Rum that is extremely moreish, the more grown up Ron Abuelo 5 year old – a fine aged rum from Panama that is becoming a firm favourite for bartenders and

an old favourite Pussers Rum – instantly recognisable in that traditional bell shaped bottle that you’d expect for a classic navy rum. Whether for cocktails or simply sipping –

embrace the Rum category whilst it continues to boom!

An affogato (meaning drowned) is a coffee-based dessert. It usually takes the form of a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso – but why not add a twist to the ever popular Italian sweet. It’s easy and quick to make and is so versatile that a range of liqueurs can be used, but this is my absolute favourite

Building the confidence of your staff is the first step to selling better wine, more profitably

1 LITTLE AND OFTEN – Don’t overwhelm staff with too much information; run regular sessions and keep building knowledge and confidence.

2 TIMING IS EVERYTHING – People need to be relaxed and alert to learn; avoid training when people are tired or busy as they will be easily distracted.

3 DON’T TASTE EVERYTHING AT ONCE – Never taste more than six to eight wines in one session. In fact, two or three is often the ideal number as people will be able to remember more.

4 OPEN THE BOTTLES (AND EAT SOME FOOD) – Context is everything; if your staff try a wine with an appropriate dish from your menu, they are more likely to be able to recommend it to your customers.

5 KEEP IT RELEVANT – Only train people that need to know about wine and who work with it every day.

6 SELL, SELL, SELL – Remember the real purpose of the session and ensure trainees leave knowing how to sell each wine.

TRAININGWe have access to a top team of wine and spirits geeks who are also learning and development professionals. Their philosophy is simple: making wine fun, easy to understand and accessible to everyone.

The trainers understand the best way to help people learn about wine and spirits and, more importantly, how to sell them. Whether you’re after WSET qualifications or just need some simple pointers on how to sell and describe wine, ensuring all training programmes are engaging, relevant and commercial.

WHY TRAINING MATTERS• Training builds confidence to sell, which in turn

boosts sales.• Confident staff will promote your wine range and

convey passion and expertise to your customers.• Investing in your team and their development helps

reduce staff turnover.• Ongoing training programmes keep people interested

and ensure new starters begin learning straight away.

WHAT’S ON OFFEREvery business’ training needs are different so we will work with you to devise a programme that is right for you. We also have access to regular workshops and formal courses throughout the year.

Wine Foundation

A one day workshop covering all the basics including tasting and describing wine, selling skills, and food and wine pairing.

Trade Toolkit

A half-day session focusing on the commercial aspects of selling wine such as how to train others, running effective promotions, merchandising, and the latest market insights.

WINE LIST PSYCHOLOGY

Columns are a killer!Setting a list out in price order with a separate column for the prices makes it easy for people

to choose less expensive wines. By moving the price under the wine name your customers

are more likely to buy based on what they want to drink rather than the price.

The right spotThe top right hand corner of a list acts as an anchor. People will look here first. Putting your most expensive wine here will make the others look better value.

FIND THE WINES

Plonk helps you to understand

the styles and grapes you like &

suggests something similar to drink

& enjoy.

BACK BAR

MERCHANDISING TOP TIPS

BeforeAn on-bar display

is not just a storage area. Here the wines

are laid out in the ice bucket in no real

order with labels not visible.

BeforeA back bar is a selling hot spot! This display

has too many points drawing the eye and

won’t give a clear purchase message.

BeforeA part-empty and untidy fridge is a

real turn off for your customer. Even this

level of stock could be faced out to appear full.

AfterFocusing on one product makes it more impactful. Grouping the same product together will help you sell more.

AfterMaximise your selling opportunity by grouping products together, e.g. champagne and wine of the month displayed as a 3 wide block.

AfterEasily improved through focus, and tidiness. The wines here look enticing and ready to drink.

Break the ice bucket habit – for whites

Many whites – especially bigger wines like Chardonnay or Viognier – will be a bit colder than is recommended when they first come out of the fridge. If they then get plunged straight into ice they will never get the chance to warm up and strut their stuff. Let them sit out for a bit on the table.

Get into the ice bucket habit – for reds

Lots of big reds – from punchy Aussie Shiraz to delicate Beaujolais and Pinot Noir – benefit from a quick ice bath, especially in warm weather or a warm room. Just a few minutes in ice are all it will take to make them much more refreshing.

Check the location of the wine rack

Every room has hot spots – close to radiators or appliances such as fridges. Make sure your wines are stored as far away from these as possible.

Offer a chilled red or two (and mark them on the wine list)

This is a great idea to show you take wine service seriously and an easy up-sell suggestion for customers looking for something different and delicious.

THE PERFECT SERVE

When it comes to serving wine perfectly, temperature matters. If you change the temperature, you change the wine. Too cold and it won’t taste of anything, too warm and it will taste alcoholic, soupy and thick.

Getting the temperature of wine right can have a big impact on your customer’s enjoyment and increase the chance of them ordering that second glass or bottle. The challenge in the On Trade is hitting the right temperature. Here are a few easy tips to ensure the temperature of the wine you serve is perfect every time:

15 - 18°C FULL-BODIED REDS Red wine should be served at room temperature but this doesn’t mean sat-next-to-the-radiator warm.

12 - 15°C LIGHTER REDS

Such as Pinot noir can be served slightly chilled.

12 - 14°C FULL-BODIED WHITES Such as oaked Chardonnay can be served slightly warmer than fridge temperature.

6 - 8°C SPARKLING

Chill well, otherwise the bubbles will disperse too quickly. If sparkling wine is

too warm you also risk the cork exploding out of the bottle when you open it.

7 - 12°C LIGHTER WHITES Must be cool but not too cold.

WHAT’S IN A BOTTLE?THE WHOLESALE PRICE

OF A BOTTLE OF WINE

NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE IN QUALITY WHEN YOU SPEND A LITTLE BIT MORE!

DUTY + COST OF WINE + PRODUCTION & DISTRIBUTION COSTS * =

There is a correlation to the price paid for a bottle of wine and the quality of the juice inside. Below is a ‘Vino-nomic’ representation of costs for various priced wines.

A £10 bottle of wine is twice that of a £5 bottle but the value of the wine is 25 times more.

The diagram above shows the breakdown of the value in a bottle at three different price points, ex-VAT. Duty is fixed and Production/Distribution is variable, as is the cost of the physical wine at source.

When we look at the physical wine element of each bottle and in turn the relative quality, we can see that a small step up in price can deliver a huge step in quality. At £5.00 per bottle, the value/quality of the wine element is only 10%, but at £7.50, it rises by 243% and at £10 rises by 511%. This equates to a marked increase in overall quality, consumer satisfaction and retail profit opportunity.

* Product & distribution costs include: cork, bottle, label, carton, transportation, storage, grape grower’s/winemakers margin, importer’s profit and distribution.

FOOD & WINE PAIRING

Match the WeightMatch the weight of the wine with the weight of the food. Heavy dishes like braised red meat casserole will need a full-bodied wine. Light dishes like a salad needs a more delicate light-bodied wine.

Match the IntensityFoods that are intensely flavoured can overpower the flavour of wines, and intensely flavoured wines can overpower lightly flavoured foods. Try to match the intensity of flavours in both so that you can taste both the wine and the food, without one overpowering the other.

Match Acids with AcidsIf you have a dish with strong acidic content such as pasta with tomato sauce or a salad with vinaigrette, match the food with a wine that has high acidity too. The acid in the food will balance the wine, making the wine taste fruitier and less acidic.

OilinessIn the same way that lemon cuts through the oiliness of smoked salmon, acidic wines work well with oily and fatty foods by cutting through the richness.

Chilli HeatWhen you put chilli heat and tannin together, they accentuate each other, making the food seem spicier and the wine more tannic and alcoholic. Chilli heat can also make a wine taste less sweet and fruity.

SweetnessSweetness in food can make a wine taste drier, so when it comes to desserts, it’s a good idea to make sure the wine is sweeter than the food. Sweet wines are also a good contrast for salty foods, for example, try pairing blue cheese with Sauternes (a sweet dessert wine from Bordeaux in France).

Local food likes local wineIn many regions of the world, traditional foods have developed alongside the local wine styles, which is why regional dishes are often best paired with wine from the same region. Try for example, Chianti with a big bowl of Tuscan pasta, or dry Fino Sherry with salty tapas.

Food and wine matching is an excellent opportunity to sell wine. It can create a more enjoyable experience for your customers as well as encourage them to trade up. However, the whole subject of food and wine matching can be a minefield to navigate.

The most important thing to remember is there are no set rules – and the customer is always right, even if they like drinking vintage Port with oysters.

That said, here are a few simple guidelines that will help you create your own perfect matches:

108

FOOD & BEER PAIRING

The food and beer matching movement is gathering real pace thanks to the craft beer explosion and some maverick thinking in the industry. A new market of quality artisan products all crammed with layers of flavour has struck a chord with the UK market. Beer is not only as fine as wine, it can often handle just as much when it comes to the dinner table.

Here is a simple guide to help you pick out the correct beer to match your food:

Hit the joyous M42/M40 route from the Midlands to Bidvest Foodservice Head office in High Wycombe.

Conference Call with the local Business Managers for the Battersea Depot. The Category Specialist’s update about any key focuses

and new businesses opened or working on.

Catch up on emails, and build up some customer pricing – at ViVAS we do not blanket price or use set ranges, each range is built up with

the customer to suit their individual outlet.

Luckily I live in Central London, therefore travel time is never too long for me. I pick up any wines needed for tasting from the fridge

and leave for the day.

Arrive at Strand Palace Hotel: Current client, check in with the Food & Beverage Manager, ensure he is happy with service and talk to him about

any new products and promotions we are running.

Meet with one of the Business Managers and visit one of their customers who don’t currently buy alcohol from Bidvest. We discuss what ViVAS has

to offer and agree a second meeting. I take a copy of their menu to price similar products for our next meeting.

We leave the meeting and the Business Manager and I walk around the immediate area and visit possible ViVAS venues.

A phone call from one of the Business Managers asking me when I am free to visit a potential new ViVAS customer the following week.

Travel to Kensington to a new wine opportunity for a second meeting before going to a Wine Tasting.

Speak with Restaurant Manager about pricing I sent through previously and if there is any more information needed or anything I can do to “Seal the

Deal” in getting the venue to start trading with us.

Arrive at a wine tasting and speak with the General Manager; we met on a few occasions prior and have been corresponding about wine pricing and

service. I have come to introduce the new wines to the Restaurant Team and to conduct a training with the Team before the new wine list goes live.

We work through the wines that will be on the menu and taste them with a number of fruits and spices; we also discuss which wines would work with

which dishes on their menu.

Follow up with any leads acquired during prospecting quickly ensuring nothing forgotten. Call any other clients or potential clients to arrange

meetings for next week. Admin at the end of the day including new wine pricing, supporting Business Manager’s in their questions, fill out expenses.

Finish for the Day – as it’s Friday maybe a Glass of Wine!!

Travel back home from Kensington

Arrive at Bidvest foodservice HQ and pick up various emails and admin to get up to speed for the day.

Meet with Sarah Sangster, our Beers and Spirits buyer, to discuss supplier updates, catch up on various current projects and make plans for our various supplier meetings later in the day.

Catch up with our B2B team and ensure that all promotional activity booked in is fit for purpose and all ready to go.

First supplier meeting with a leading cider supplier to discuss new products, promotional activity and some new point of sale items that they have to offer, Cider is a key category and we are growing our 30 strong product lines by supporting the customer base with price and POS – check out some of the new additions for this year!

Next supplier meeting with a leading beer supplier to look at some new brands that they have recently acquired. Follow up on some recent promotional activity we have run and plan in further promos based on its success.

Supplier meeting with one of our top 3 spirits suppliers to discuss support in national accounts, new products, and future promotional activity planned in.

DON’T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...

OUR TESTIMONIALS GOLDEN PHEASANT“Viva, Viva” to ViVAS wines. What can we say - excellent selection of superb wines, ranging from our Quaffing wines - white, rose and red, through to alternative options for the discerning customer. The Cava and Prosecco ranges make our customers bubble with excitement and the celebration Brut Champagne fits the bill. The vast selection of wine menus to match anyone’s décor is also excellent! Our sommelier representative

is amazingly knowledgeable through the ranges and her advice has been invaluable. The Wine of the Month and across the whole range we purchase, always offer value for money at a fair price. We would not consider going anywhere else, with the products and service received from ViVAS. Again - Viva viva to ViVAS!

SUNDERLAND AFC Sunderland Football Club’s 1879 events supply the hospitality and formal dining areas in the Stadium as well as catering for outdoor concerts and events.

wines for specific customers. They use a printed wine list incorporating food matches from the ViVAS product range and also offer a PET range for outdoor events.ViVAS provide staff training and product tasting at the beginning of the season and have helped the club with their Burns Night Gourmet Dinner recommending wines to match each course. There have also been a number of joint events with Bidvest 3663 food specialists linking wine with Red Tractor accredited meat. “We have now been trading with ViVAS for over 12 months. Service received is always of the highest standard, product range suitable to meet all our client’s needs, delivery on time every time”.

LANCASHIRE COUNTY CRICKET CLUB LCCC has been trading with Bidvest for some time, supporting us through the changes and quick expansion of our business, with an understanding

of our needs from a wholesale point of view. We recently underwent an extension tender exercise for our wines and spirits supply and as a result of this moved over to ViVAS as it offered us the best overall package. This included a consolidated order and delivery service with Bidvest, along with support from our representative who offered a professional and friendly service to help us find the right wines to fit every element of our business as well as bringing in new wines that have given us fresh new options for our consumers. ViVAS have also assisted with the printing of our bespoke wine list as well as regular staff training to help us continue to develop our hospitality business.

THE COW SHEDFrom the pre-opening phase of The Cow Shed, ViVAS was there to consult and advise from wine selection, menu design, to bar essentials and added hardware support. Bibendum's heritage and reputation gives me and my team great confidence in our wines, backed up by the ViVAS essential wine guide and Bibendum's Wine Foundation course. With 5 days-a-week local delivery, ViVAS provide a service hard to beat.
