Up on small buys.

Thank you IR2. Appreciated.

These guys have had a stab at it.

Hi, does anybody know revenue/net profit forecast for year ending 31/3/2018?

[dante17] 16/2/2017 17:12

Blackwoods has its Wikipedia page too now.

[dante17] 14/2/2017 15:55

I've just created a page for RedLeg on Wikipedia and updated that of Blavod. Need to do one for Blackwoods too.

[dante17] 14/2/2017 13:20

Yes Berny, I noticed that too, was wondering why that is. Any ideas?I wasn't looking at the amazon site last October. Was Blavod in the top 10 vodkas in the run-up to Halloween?

If you are following Blackwoods Gin on Amazon (D17) note it has two separate listings for the normal strength Gin and it looks to be splitting sales between these two listings, rather than allocating sales to one listing.

Dante17 also watch the ranking of Redleg and Blackwoods on Sainsbury, Tesco, Waitrose and Morrisons websites.

[acdc52] 09/2/2017 13:37

How about buying competitors one by one. Just dreaming!

[pastybap] 09/2/2017 09:27

Dante17, as a rather lazy investor I really appreciate your scuttlebutt-type research!

[dante17] 09/2/2017 08:51

For vodkas, where the number of labels is vast and keeps getting bigger, Blavod occasionally makes it into the top 40 which isn't bad. The list is typically topped by the Absolut range.Coming back to RedLeg, the number of reviews was around 60 not that long ago and now it's 90, almost overwhelmingly 5-stars.I'm following the Winebow website daily to see when they will list RedLeg as one of their brands. The launch into selective US markets must be imminent and should be a big boost to the fiscal 2017 year-end accounts.

[dante17] 09/2/2017 08:47

Blackwoods is typically in the top 50 but occasionally it's around 30th in what is a far more competitive and saturated market where competition is more fierce than for rum. It used to be around 50th but is steadily moving up. I would expect and hope that it eventually gets into the top 20 category.

[dante17] 09/2/2017 08:44

I've been following the Best Sellers page on the U.K. amazon site for a couple of weeks now. Here's what I found:RedLeg is consistently in the top 10 (out of more than a hundred rum brands), and is usually in the top 5 (today it's number 4). That's quite an achievement.

[darkdogs] 03/2/2017 15:20

redleg seems to be going down well in my local tesco, on offer at 17 quid so availed myself of one, only one bottle left on shelf whilst all other rums fully stocked. redleg was fully restocked last week :)

[dante17] 01/2/2017 15:53

Thanks Bernie. There's another twitter page which was getting updated regularly but then all activity stopped in April last year. Was wondering why. Anyway, cheers.

[dante17] 01/2/2017 14:32

Does anyone know why Blavod's twitter page (and FB too I think) are not being updated?
