News 2024 02 28
Greetings to all, The main announcements in this monthly news letter is opening of our online shop, discount period for March 2024, increase of direct sale and long term customer prices for rest of the year and planning for the trip to Japan and Korea in the May 2024.
During this month, March, we will have special promotional sales as we did also during previous years. It will happen at our online shop, which we are finally opening. Please have a look and "test it" during this period to get your ciders and vinegar for advantageous prices. With exception of March 2024 the majority of online prices will be the same as during 2023, so 12€ for standard batches and 18€ for micro-cuvées, plus cost of shipping. Please note, that we will be increasing prices for long term customers, during our direct sales at the markets and tasting events from 8€ to 10€ for standard batches and from 12 to 15€ for micro-cuvées, plus cost of shipping where applicable. For people helping us to organize events we will have some favourable options. Because we would like to keep our ciders accessible and it is important for us to keep clientele which we build up over the years, we recommend you to do the order during March. It can be delivered in batches over the year and after discussion also paid in split payments if necessary. The main reason for sales during February and/or March are still the same, getting money to pay for costs of 2023 harvest and processing season, bottling and distillation and of course, keeping favourable options for long term customers. We have increased above mentioned prices because the profit became to low (taxes, transportation costs, inflation). It is highly likely that next year we will increase online prices and professional prices, it would be three years since the last increase. We are opened to alternative or additional options how to keep ciders accessible. One of them which we consider, is to create one batch per year of 1000-2000 of 75cl bottles per year and have it for lower price till it is sold out. However this year we do not bottle.
If you are into cider tastings and you would like to organize event with us, please let us know. For March it is mostly too late, April is very busy and during first half of May we will be in Korea and Japan trying to make opening for selling our ciders there and also visiting country, Korea, where I, František, spent decent amount of my life.
If you have time please check out events below where we plan to be. Special attention should be paid to "Cidershow" which happens in Prague on 21th of March and is one of the biggest cider events in Czech Republic.
