Like many processing industries, the wine industry is all about achieving economies of scale. 

A small producer must compete with the larger producers for a share of the ever consolidating wine market, and the competition is fierce. It is vital for small producers to be efficient and cost-effective, to weigh up capital investment with investment options such as premium fruit purchases, packaging, marketing and other requirements.

By using Flying Fish Cove contract winemaking services, smaller players can maximise their investment value to achieve a place in the market. By allowing the contract winemaker to absorb the cost of winemaking expertise, specialised equipment, energy costs and other infrastructure, the small producer is free to channel their capital into more-effective aspects of the wine market.
