GROWTH BRANDS AT WSWA

and spirits categories. Growth Brand Award winners were
recognized in four categories: Rising Stars, which must be less
than fi ve years old and have exhibited notable growth in the past
few years; Fast Track, which must have exceeded 100,000 9-liter
cases in 2013, with double-digit growth in each of the past four
years; Established Growth, brands moving a minimum of 400,000
9-liter cases, with notable growth in the past few years; and the
Comeback awards tier, honoring brands that have rebounded
in sales to at least the previous level after a recent decline. The
Growth Brand categories are designed to organize the wine and
spirit brands demonstrating notable growth in a meaningful,
quantifi able way to help retailers, restaurateurs and the industry at
large discern existing and emerging trends. The article detailing
the Growth Brands for 2014 appeared in the March/April 2014
