Why can’t Pompeii wine be sold? There are many reasons, the main reasons are the following two points.
The price is on the expensive side.
No fame.
The main reason is actually lack of fame. For those wealthy aristocrats who like wine, money is not a problem and good wine is hard to come by.
Just like Bozi, although he likes to drink wine, he also likes to drink ale, and he hopes to have good wine that can make him drunk happily.
That is, liquor.
And there are countless people like Bozi in this world.
Besides, there were only two kinds of wine in this world: wine and ale. Finally, a new wine came out, and it seemed to taste good.
Everyone wants to try it.
As for opening up fame, Bozi and Howard, the two knights of the Barton family, are opportunities.
A very simple thing is that Bozi is a person who likes to drink and has a generous personality. Especially he likes to drink and recommend others to drink.
Just like Boz tricked Howard into buying ale.
Now that Bozi had tasted Pompeii wine, a new wine, he was shocked for a moment. After he took it home, did he just close the door and taste it by himself?
This is worse than killing him.
According to Bozi's character, it is inevitable to invite friends to his home, hold a careful banquet, and recommend Pompeii wine.
This wine is delicious.
Of course, not everyone likes to drink Pompeii wine. After all, wine is the mainstream of nobles in this world. There are also nobles who drink ale, but they are not the majority.
But even if three out of ten nobles like to drink Pompeii wine, that is still a huge profit.
No noble does not drink, including female nobles. Of course, it is estimated that few female nobles will like Pompeii wine.
Therefore, the audience of Pompeii wine is still male aristocrats.
Calculate how many male nobles there are in the entire Barton territory? The Barton family includes twenty or thirty knight lords and vassals, as well as some guard knights who are employed by the Barton family but have no territory.
Descendants of nobles living in the Barton Territory.
Plus wealthy civilian merchants or landowners.
The audience of Pompeii wine is these people. As for the common people at the bottom, they really can't afford Pompeii wine and can only drink the cheapest ale.
So Pompeii wine became popular, it suddenly became popular. After being indifferent for several months, it suddenly exploded.
There are always people coming to Pompeii shops to buy Pompeii wine every day, either nobles wearing noble clothes come in person, or people wearing fine material clothes but it is clear that they are stewards come to buy in person.
There were three to five barrels of wine every day, and each barrel of wine cost one gold coin. But the people in the surrounding shops were jealous, and all the merchants knew that Pompeii wine was popular.
Like Shield, these businessmen do not know the cost of Pompeii wine, but they know that wine must be profitable. Even if the net profit is only 30%, the Pompeii family will be prosperous.
Envy, jealousy and hate.
Fortunately, no one dared to mess with the Pompeii family. After all, Pompeii was one of the vassals of Baron Barton and a local noble. And the current leader, Pompeii Knight Thor, Pompeii, was the leader of the six major families.
Offending Pompeii is equivalent to offending the six major families. Not to mention some civilian merchants or merchants of noble descent, even some knight lords need to think carefully before offending Pompeii.
So nothing happened, it was a bloody mess of picking peaches.
In the shop, Shield happened to entertain a knight who came to buy Pompeii wine. He got a gold coin and happily returned to the shop to keep accounts.
I am very happy while keeping accounts.
It has been a month since Pompeii wine opened on the market. This month's sales are enough to save one hundred barrels, and the gross profit is one hundred gold coins.
The net profit amounted to seventy gold coins.
As for the tax revenue of the entire Pompeii territory, plus miscellaneous inputs, the annual income could not reach one thousand gold coins.
Pompeii wine brought a net profit of seventy gold coins to the Pompeii family in one month. Even if the sales were not long, there were eight or nine hundred gold coins that year.
According to the current financial resources of the Pompeii family, they can support old Thor, Magellan, Luther, Shusua, plus quasi-knight William, and a hundred guards.
If they had these eight or nine hundred gold coins, the Pompeii family could nearly double their strength.
Not to mention, Pompeii wine is currently only sold in the entire city of Kaiyue, and has not even spread to the entire barony. What's more, if the sales of Pompeii wine reach the province, and even the entire Kingdom of Prussia.
This profit is unimaginable.
Ten thousand gold coins per year, or even one hundred thousand gold coins, seems impossible. By then, the financial resources of the Pompeii family may be comparable to that of the Baron family.
All in all, Luther will soon be rich.
This makes money much faster than farming.
Of course, these shields were unexpected. He just thought about this month's income. According to Mrs. Sophie's attitude towards her subordinates, he, the shopkeeper, must be rewarded.
The more Pompeii wine is sold, the more the Pompeii family earns, and the greater his reward.
Of course I'm happy.
But when the shield is happy, its brother, trouble, is indispensable. With sales of Pompeii wine so good, productivity is a major problem.
Before this, because it was a trial sale, the first batch of Pompeii wine sent to Excelle City was only 30 barrels, which were sold out long ago. The last time the shield asked the team to go to Pompeii to collect 100 barrels of Pompeii wine.
As for ale, Pompeii shops basically no longer sell it. You can’t make much money from that stuff.
Besides, because all the brewing estates have switched to making Pompeii wine, the output of ale is zero, and the business cannot continue.
The 100 barrels of wine purchased last time have almost been sold out, with only thirty or forty barrels left. According to this sales volume, they will be gone in a few days.
There is no greater worry than seeing business going well but having the supply of goods cut off.
"No, I have to write another letter to tell my wife, asking her to expand the scale of the winery and increase production. Pompeii wine has huge potential in the future."
Shields sat in the shop and thought about it, feeling a little restless. Then he wrote a letter quickly, sealed it carefully, and called a waiter.
"Maia, go and rent a horse and ride to deliver the letter to Pompeii."
"OK."
The clerk named Maia immediately took the letter, left the clerk in the shop, and went to rent a horse to deliver the letter to Pompeii.
There was no way around it. Although Pompeii had an official residence in Kaiyue City, the Pompeii family's finances were tight, and the Pompeii family rarely came to Kaiyue City. Therefore, the official residence was left empty without anyone taking care of it.
At present, the Pompeii family's power in Kaiyue City consists of this shop and a few clerks.
Delivery of messages usually relies on the Pompeii family's caravan. Now that the matter is urgent, Shield can only ask the man to rent a horse and deliver the message quickly.
