Accounting for wineries
• GAAP/Tax requirements – not always the best for management decisions
• Cost accounting – be careful….it’s the key to accuracy, but hard to do right.
• Small wineries – don’t make it complicated

Simpler

Less COGS
= Gross Profit
Less Overhead (include sales expenses & draw here)
=Net Profit

What goes where
COGS
“Costs of Goods sold”, or “Variable” expenses
• includes direct labor• cost to produce wine (glass, cork, grapes,
etc)
![Page 8: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Overhead
Overhead “Fixed Costs, or“Sales, General & Administrative costs”
Includes:• All other labor• Utilities• Taxes • Insurance• Interest
![Page 9: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Typical Winery Start Up
• 5 years of vineyard development
• Other costs during this phase may include:– Licensing
– Permits
– Production area
– Wine equipment
– Tasting Room
![Page 10: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The 5 to 10 year phase
• Marketing, Marketing, Marketing– First solid income of the business– Did you make a profit?– But what about cash flow?
• Build Inventory– Common mistake is to under estimate this
equity drain– Necessary for sales growth– How should you finance this?
![Page 11: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Inventory
• Lesser of Cost or Market (Value) – in this presentation assume inventory is at cost
• Example ……cost per case– $10 Labor
– $13 Bottle, cork, labels
– $40 grapes
– $4 supplies
Result: $67 per case
![Page 12: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Example
• John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600 cases sold)
• The cost to produce wine at this winery is $67/case
• John bottled 1,000 cases of wine in the same year
• Did John’s winery make a profit?
• Did John’s winery cash flow?
![Page 13: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Example of mistake
John incorrectly conducts his cost study. He estimates cost of production at $40/case. He thinks he will see this:
$60,000 Income 600 cases $100/cs
-24,000 COGS 600 cases $40/cs
$36,000 Gross Profit
![Page 14: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
COGS Calculation:
“Cost” # cases Cost/CaseBeginning Inventory
$20,000 500 $40
+ Costs $67,000 1000 $67- Ending Inventory
$36,000 900 $40
= COGS $51,000 600 $85
![Page 15: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Result of Mistake
John is surprised when his accountant shows him the Profit/Loss Statement including:
$60,000 Income 600 cases $100/cs
-51,000 COGS 600 cases $85/cs
$9,000 Gross Profit

Corrected Inventory
John corrects his production cost study, and determines costs correctly at $67/case. He expects to see this P/L Statement:
$60,000 Income 600 cases $100/cs
-40,200 COGS 600 cases $67/cs
$19,800 Gross Profit
![Page 17: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
COGS calculation:
“Cost” # cases Cost/CaseBeginning Inv
$33,500 500 $67
+ Costs $67,000 1000 $67- Ending Inv
$60,300 900 $67
= COGS $40,200 600 $67

Results of Third Try
$60,000 Income 600 cases $100/cs
-40,200 COGS 600 cases $67/cs
$19,800 Gross Profit
The original estimated P/L statement was correct and the COGS calculation showed that costs are being properly allocated.

Finish with Overhead
$60,000 Income
-40,200 COGS
$19,800 Gross Profit
- $18,000 Overhead
= $1,800 Net Profit
John’s winery made it’s first profit!!

Actual Cash Flow
$60,000 Income 600 cases $100/cs
-67,000 Prod Costs 1000 cases $67/cs
= -7,000 Cash Flow after production
-18,000 Overhead
= -25,000 Cash Flow before loan payments
-12,000 Principal payments
= -37,000 Cash deficit

Concept to remember
To generate cash flow as a start up winery, you must either:
1. Be extremely profitable, or
2. Level off inventory growth
![Page 22: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Managing Inventory
• Monitor inventory and make more of what sells quickly
• Make more white wines – faster turns
• Plan your “inventory build” as part of your capital costs
• Avoid operating lines for the purpose of inventory build (i.e. it’s not a cycle, it’s a permanent level of inventory)
![Page 23: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Budgeting from the Bottom Up
• How much profit do you need to break-even?
• How do you figure out what an appropriate sales target is?
• How feasible is your plan?
![Page 25: Towards Start up winery profitnortherngrapesproject.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/... · 2013-04-12 · • John’s winery sells $60,000 of wine at an average of $100/case (600](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022041903/5e61ae24f9dc3f38ac7de30b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Start from the “Bottom”
• Overhead
• Note: Owner draw – we have included this in overhead in examples so far
• Principal & Interest debt payments
• These 2 items (overhead and debt payments) are where you start

Optional
• If Retail/Wholesale “mix” will change, then run this optional calculation
Total Required Sales = Retail Sales % x (Gross Profit Req’d / Retail Gross Profit %) + Wholesale Sales % x (Gross Profit Req’d / Wholesale Gross Profit %)

Result of this exercise
• Sales target of at least $123,000 has been established
• With average price of $100/case, that’s 1,230 cases sold
• If wholesale sales increase to reach this target, the cases sold will need to increase dramatically
• Make a feasible plan to make a profit.

Key Concepts
• Don’t forget the cost of “building” inventory
• Have a plan to finance this (cash or mortgage best)
• Have a record keeping system & accounting plan that will tell your story accurately
• Vineyard economics: low yield = high cost grapes & high cost wine….lowers GP%
• Build the right size winery!
