Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. (VINE): ANSOFF MATRIX [Dec-2025 Updated]

Honestly, when a company like Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. pivots this hard in 2025-moving from just selling wine to running a tech platform-you need a clear map to see where the real money is. We're balancing growing the core wine business, perhaps by pushing that $99 promotional bundle, against scaling the new digital side, which already pulled in $1.25 million in Q3 with an impressive 93.6% gross margin. I've broken down the four core growth avenues-from penetrating existing US markets to diversifying into creator assets-so you can see exactly where the near-term risk and return lie for VINE below.

Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. (VINE) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Penetration

You're looking at the path to deepen market share using existing products and current US states, which means squeezing more out of the current footprint. The underlying financial reality for the combined entity as of June 30, 2025, showed a net loss of approximately $7.1 million for the first half of the year, and cash and restricted cash was only about $311,000 as of June 30, 2025. Still, the company reported a Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of $3.8 million in Q2 2025, signaling platform activity.

For wholesale distribution volume in existing US states, you have historical context: in 2022, Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. expanded distribution to 47 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, with wholesale revenue in that year being approximately $1.7 million. The goal was to capture 3.7% of the premium direct-to-consumer wine market by 2025, though the company's core wine operations pivoted in 2025.

Targeted digital campaigns are now intertwined with the e-commerce platform focus. For Q2 2025, the total net revenue for the combined entity reached approximately $870,000, a significant increase from $70,000 in Q2 2024, largely due to the new operations. The stock traded around $0.58 per share in November 2025, with a forecast suggesting a drop to $0.5394 by December 31, 2025.

Offer promotional bundles, like a 6-pack for $99, to boost trial and repeat purchases among current customers. The known retail price range for Fresh Vine Wine varietals was between $14.99 and $24.99 per bottle as of early 2025. Research suggests that oversupply issues could lead to flash sale discounts ranging from 25-40% off standard pricing, while the consistent storewide promotion is typically 20% off.

Securing premium shelf placement ties into the historical success in the 'Better For You' segment. In 2022, Fresh Vine Wine moved into the Top 20% of U.S. wineries by case volume size. The company increased its number of points of distribution (PODs) from 468 in 2021 to 3,073 in 2022. The global market for 'Better For You' alcoholic beverages is projected to reach $484 million by 2034.

Here are the key financial metrics from the first half of 2025:

The operational focus is shifting, as seen in the cost structure:

• Cost of Revenue (Q2 2025): Approximately $120,000.
• Cost of Revenue (Q2 2024): Approximately $114,000.
• Gross Profit (Q2 2025): $788,000.
• Gross Loss (Q2 2024): $44,000.

You should track the performance of the new segments against the old wine focus:

• DTC Revenue Share (2022): 32% of net revenue.
• Wholesale Revenue (2022): Approximately $1.7 million.
• Total PODs (2022): 6,808 rolling 12 months.

Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. (VINE) - Ansoff Matrix: Market Development

Market Development for Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. (VINE), now integrated as Amaze Holdings, Inc. (AMZE), centers on taking the existing low-carb wine portfolio into new geographical areas and sales channels, leveraging the recent business combination with Amaze Software, Inc. completed in the first quarter of 2025.

Expand the wine brand's distribution into new international markets like Canada or Puerto Rico, where the company already has some presence. Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. was previously noted as an importer, marketer, and distributor in the United States and Canada. The Amaze platform brings existing localized support in regions including Europe, Australia, and India. For Puerto Rico, a strategic market, the island's wine sales reached $23 million in 2024, with Spanish wine holding a 30% market share. The company reported net revenue of $1.25 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Launch the existing low-carb wine portfolio in new US on-premise channels, specifically high-end gyms and wellness resorts. The wine line is positioned in the $14.99-$24.99 retail price range, aligning with a 'Better For You' brand vision. The company's Q3 2025 Gross Profit was $1.17 million.

Utilize the Amaze platform's technology to create a personalized, subscription-based wine club for the creator economy's audience. The Amaze platform, which supports over 14 million creators, is a key driver of recent financial performance. The Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) on the platform reached $3.77 million in Q2 2025. The Average Order Value (AOV) for the first half of 2025 was $50.00. The platform reported a U.S. Conversion Rate of .41% of all traffic.

Partner with major US grocery chains to place the $14.99-$24.99 wine line in new regional markets. Past distribution gains included adding the wine line to 225 Food Lion locations across three states. Another expansion placed varietals in over 120 Raley's grocery stores, adding 2145 new Points of Distribution (PODs) within a 90-day period in 2022. The company's net loss for Q3 2025 was $5.15 million, following a Q2 2025 net loss of approximately $5.1 million.

Here's a look at the combined entity's recent top-line performance following the acquisition:

• Total Active Creators with Stores: Over 12 million.
• Total Number of Active Visitors: Over 200 million.
• Creator Lifetime Value (LTV): $200.00.
• The company also acquired all assets of The Food Channel in Q3 2025.

Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. (VINE) - Ansoff Matrix: Product Development

You're looking at how Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. can build on its existing market presence by introducing new products. Given the company's recent financial structure, with preliminary stockholders' equity reported at approximately $80 million as of March 6, 2025, exceeding the compliance threshold of $4 million, there's a platform for calculated expansion within the current product space.

The existing wine products segment, which includes varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, and Sparkling Rosé, generated net revenue of approximately $870,000 in the second quarter of 2025, resulting in a gross profit of $788,000 for that quarter alone. This provides a baseline against which new product margin targets must be set.

New Low-Alcohol or Non-Alcoholic Wine Line

Tapping into the wellness trend means entering the NoLo (No- and Low-Alcohol) space, which is essential for relevance with Millennial and Gen Z consumers. The global non-alcoholic wine market is anticipated to be worth $2.84 billion in 2025. In the U.S., NoLo wine is projected to grow at 6% annually, targeting over $1.5 billion by 2030. The no-alcohol segment, specifically, is forecast to expand at a 7% volume CAGR between 2024 and 2028.

• Global NoLo beverage market expected to hit $35.7 billion by 2026.
• No-alcohol segment CAGR (2024-2028) is 7%.
• The U.S. NoLo wine market is projected to exceed $1.5 billion by 2030.

Develop a 'Clean' Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Wine Spritzer

A ready-to-drink spritzer targets convenience and lower alcohol by volume (ABV), aligning with moderation trends. The overall Ready To Drink Cocktails Market size is estimated at $11.13 billion in 2025, with an expected CAGR of 12.75% through 2030. Wine-based cocktails, which include spritzers, are a segment set for robust growth. In North America, the spritzer market size was $5.12 million in 2024, with a projected CAGR of 9.2% through 2031. The U.S. portion of that market was valued at $4.04 million in 2024.

• Global RTD Cocktails Market size in 2025: $11.13 billion.
• North America Spritzer Market CAGR (2024-2031): 9.2%.
• The U.S. Spritzer market share in 2024: $4.04 million.

Release a New, Limited-Edition Varietal: Chenin Blanc

Introducing a limited-edition Chenin Blanc capitalizes on emerging white wine momentum. White wines are poised for continued growth in 2025, outpacing reds globally. Chenin Blanc is specifically noted as a standout, combining crispness with complexity. In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely planted variety. For the US consumer, good value examples worth seeking out are available for less than €20.

Create a Higher-Margin, Ultra-Premium Reserve Wine

To increase the average transaction value beyond the current stated $17 price point, an ultra-premium Reserve tier is necessary. This targets the premiumization trend, though overall premium-plus wine volumes saw declines of -3% in the first half of 2024, while premium-plus beer volumes rose +2%. This highlights the need for a Reserve product to clearly signal superior value to justify a higher price tag than the $17 baseline. The company already offers a limited Reserve Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, suggesting a framework for a higher-tier SKU exists.

• Target Average Price Point to exceed: $17.
• Premium-plus wine volume change (H1 2024): -3%.
• Premium-plus beer volume change (H1 2024): +2%.

Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. (VINE) - Ansoff Matrix: Diversification

You're looking at the diversification quadrant, which for Amaze Holdings, Inc. (formerly Fresh Vine Wine, Inc.) post-acquisition of Amaze Software, Inc. on March 7, 2025, means expanding beyond its core lower-calorie wine focus into new product categories and creator services. This is a move into new markets with new offerings, which carries a different risk profile than just selling more wine.

The digital commerce platform, Amaze, is the engine for this diversification. For the third quarter ending September 30, 2025, this platform drove $1.25 million in net revenue. That number is a 1,884% increase from the $0.06 million reported in the same year-ago period, showing the scale of the new business segment. This revenue stream is high-margin; the gross profit for Q3 2025 reached $1.17 million, resulting in an impressive 93.6% gross margin for the quarter.

Here's a quick look at the key Q3 2025 financial snapshot reflecting this new digital focus:

Scaling this platform means aggressively onboarding more high-profile creators. The strategy is to deepen the network effect, which supports the high margin seen in the 93.6% gross margin. If onboarding takes 14+ days, churn risk rises.

Diversification also involves strategic acquisitions to bolster the creator network. Amaze Holdings, Inc. completed the acquisition of The Food Channel, which directly expands the platform's reach into the culinary creator space. This move is defintely a play to capture a specific vertical market within the broader creator economy.

The expanded product catalog is central to this diversification strategy. Creators on the platform now have access to more than just wine, which was the original core product of Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. The expanded offerings include:

• Branded apparel
• Accessories
• Digital content categories

The pre-merger Amaze platform already supported over 180 physical products and had introduced over 20 new digital product categories. This existing infrastructure is now being leveraged to push these non-wine categories through the e-commerce platform, creating new revenue streams for creators and the company.
