Why can't Pompeii wine be sold? There are many reasons, the main reasons are as follows.
The price is too high.
No reputation.
The main reason is actually that it is not famous. For those nobles who like wine but have money, money is not a problem, good wine is hard to come by.
Just like Bozi, although he likes to drink wine, he also likes to drink beer, and he hopes to have a good wine that can make him drunk.
That is, strong liquor.
And there are countless people like Bozi in this world.
Besides, there are only two kinds of wine in this world, wine and beer. It's not easy to come up with a new wine, and it seems to taste good.
Everyone wants to taste it.
And for the fame, Bozi and Howard, the two knights of the Barton family, are opportunities.
It's a very simple thing. Bozi is a person who likes to drink and has a generous personality. Especially he likes to drink and likes to recommend others to drink.
Just like Bozi fooled Howard into buying beer.
Now Bozi has drunk the new wine Pompeii, and he was shocked for a while. After he took it home, did he taste it by himself behind closed doors?
This would be more painful than killing him.
According to Bozi's character, he would inevitably call friends to his house, hold a small banquet, and recommend Pompeii wine.
This wine tastes good.
Of course, not everyone likes to drink Pompeii wine. After all, wine is the mainstream of the nobles in this world. There are also nobles who drink beer, but they are not the majority.
But even if three out of ten nobles like to drink Pompeii wine, it is still a huge profit.
There is no noble who does not drink, including female nobles. Of course, Pompeii wine is a strong liquor, and it is estimated that few female nobles will like it.
So the audience of Pompeii wine is still male nobles.
Count how many male nobles there are in the entire Barton territory? The Barton family, including the twenty or thirty knight lords and vassals under it, and some guard knights employed by the Barton family but without territory.
The descendants of nobles living in the Barton territory.
In addition to wealthy civilian merchants or landowners.
The audience of Pompeii wine is these people. As for the lower-class civilians, they really can't afford Pompeii wine and can only drink the cheapest beer.
So Pompeii wine became popular, suddenly popular. After several months of indifference, it suddenly exploded.
Every day, there are always people coming to Pompeii shop to buy Pompeii wine. Either the nobles wearing noble clothes come in person, or they wear clothes made of fine materials, but it can be seen that the housekeepers come to buy in person.
Three or five barrels a day, one gold coin per barrel of wine. But the people in the surrounding shops are jealous, and all the merchants know that Pompeii wine is popular.
Like the shield, these merchants don't know the cost of Pompeii wine, but they know that the wine must be profitable. Even if there is only 30% of the net profit, the Pompeii family is also prosperous.
Envy, jealousy and hatred.
Fortunately, no one dares to mess with the Pompeii family. After all, Pompeii is one of the vassals of Baron Baron, a real noble, and the current leader, Pompeii Knight Sol, Pompeii, is the leader of the six major families.
Offending Pompeii is the same as offending the six major families. Not to mention some civilian merchants, or merchants of noble descent, even some knight lords need to think twice before offending Pompeii.
So nothing happened, a bloody thing of picking peaches.
In the store, Shield just entertained a knight who came to buy Pompeii wine, got a gold coin, and happily returned to the store to record the accounts.
While recording the accounts, he was very happy.
It has been a month since Pompeii wine opened the market. The sales this month are enough for 100 barrels, and the gross profit is 100 gold coins.
Among them, the net profit is 70 gold coins.
And the tax revenue of the entire Pompeii territory, plus the miscellaneous inputs, the annual income does not reach 1,000 gold coins.
And Pompeii wine brought a net profit of 70 gold coins to the Pompeii family in one month. Even if the sales volume is not long, there are still 800 to 900 gold coins in that year.
According to the current financial resources of the Pompeii family, they can support Old Sol, Magellan, Luther, Xuxua, William the Knight-at-Law, and one hundred guards.
If they have these eight or nine hundred gold coins, the Pompeii family can almost double their strength.
Not to mention, Pompeii wine is currently only sold in the entire Kaiyue City, and has not even radiated to the entire barony, not to mention if Pompeii wine sales reach the province, or even the entire Kingdom of Prussia.
The profit is unimaginable.
Ten thousand gold coins a year, or even one hundred thousand gold coins, seems impossible. By then, the financial resources of the Pompeii family may be comparable to the Baron family.
In short, Luther will be rich soon.
This is much faster than farming.
Of course, these shields are unthinkable. He just thought of the income this month. According to Mrs. Sophie's attitude towards her subordinates, he, the shopkeeper, must have rewards.
The more Pompeii wine is sold, the more money the Pompeii family earns, and the more rewards he will get.
Naturally, he is happy.
But when the shield is happy, its brother, Trouble, cannot be left out. Pompeii wine has such a good sales volume, so productivity is a major problem.
Before this, because it was a trial sale, the first batch of Pompeii wine sent to Kaiyue City was only 30 barrels, which were sold out long ago. Last time, the shield asked the team to go to Pompeii to get 100 barrels of Pompeii wine.
As for beer, Pompeii stores basically don't sell it at present. You can't make much money from that stuff.
Besides, since all the wineries have switched to brewing Pompeii wine, the output of beer is equal to zero, so the business can't continue.
The last 100 barrels of wine have almost been sold out, and only 30 or 40 barrels are left. According to this sales volume, they will be gone in a few days.
And there is no greater trouble than seeing that the business is good, but the supply is cut off.
"No, I have to write another letter to tell my wife to expand the scale of the winery and increase production. Pompeii wine has great potential in the future."
Shield sat in the shop and thought for a while, feeling a little restless. Then he wrote a letter quickly, sealed it carefully, and called a waiter.
"Maya, go rent a horse and ride the letter to Pompeii."
"Okay."
The waiter named Maya immediately took the letter, put down the waiter in the shop, and went to rent a horse to deliver the letter to Pompeii.
There is no way. Pompeii is in Kaiyue City. Although there is an official residence, the Pompeii family is financially tight, and the Pompeii family rarely comes to Kaiyue City. So this mansion is simply left empty without anyone to take care of it.
At present, the power of the Pompeii family in Kaiyue City is just this shop and a few employees.
Things like sending letters are usually carried by the Pompeii family's caravan. Now the situation is urgent, Shield can only ask the employees to rent horses and send letters quickly.
Pompeii wine, can't be delayed.
What is delayed are the glittering gold coins.
