The way that people search for and buy food has been evolving rapidly over the last several years. Online searches and delivery services have replaced longstanding traditional methods of obtaining food and restaurant information. Managing these aspects of the business can be just as important to its longterm success as the food or beverage itself.

This episode of the Food & Beverage Podcast takes a look at the way millennials and generation X have changed how winemakers distribute their products and the importance for restaurants to manage their online reputation.

Wine: From the Vine to Your Front Door

Have we entered a new “golden era” in the wine industry? On this week’s episode of the Food and Beverage Podcast, correspondent Kailey Goerlitz had the tough task of learning about wine clubs and how millennials and generation X are paving the wave for a new “golden era” in the wine industry.

Millennials and generation X are the leading age group spending more money on wine than ever before. Priscilla Ashleigh, a top wine saleswoman from Direct Cellars, talks to us about how wine subscription boxes are changing the wine industry and how people buy their wine. No longer do people have to go to the stores for their weekly wines but instead can have it delivered right to their doors.

Your Online Reputation Precedes You

How do you go about finding a taco place near your house if you are hungry for tacos? Chances are you’re going to pick up your cell phone and search for tacos near your current location. But how do restaurants make sure their name is at the top of the search results? That’s where reputation management comes into play.

David “Rev” Ciancio is an expert in managing online reputations for restaurants and other businesses. He joined the podcast to explain the steps that restaurants can take to remain as visible as possible online. “Most people don’t understand the hidden secrets of reputation management,” says Ciancio. He also explains why restaurants need to be preparing now for the Alexa and Google Home revolution.

Anuga FoodTec India exhibitors say buyers came for inspection and shelf-life gear

Anuga FoodTec India exhibitors say buyers came for inspection and shelf-life gear

Anuga FoodTec India drew 700-plus exhibitors, and Mettler Toledo and Parle Global reported strong booth interest in inspection and shelf-life equipment. Policy sessions on exports and an India–EU deal expected around mid-2027 offer a plausible context for that attention.

  • 01Processed goods are about 30% of India's agricultural exports, and the export agency wants that share to rise while total exports double in five years, which would put more volume through packaging and inspection lines.
  • 02The India–EU trade deal is expected to take effect around mid-2027; the article flags inspection capacity and digital traceability as questions for processors to settle before the show’s next edition.

Food accounts for nearly 44% of packaging machinery demand

Food accounts for nearly 44% of packaging machinery demand

Food is the largest end market for packaging machinery, at nearly 44% of industrial packaging equipment demand. Labor shortages, SKU churn and e-commerce push processors toward automated sealing, quick changeovers and batch data. Small farms in a Kroger pilot skip the machines.

  • 01Packaging automation is four separate purchases, covering seal integrity, batch data, changeover speed and lifting, and a machine that solves one can leave the other three untouched.
  • 02A vacuum sealer removes air; it does not tell a distributor where the package has been, and that difference is worth settling before the purchase order goes out.
  • 03For supply from many small farms with uneven volumes, packaging that identifies the grower can meet Kroger’s presentation and checkout expectations without requiring automated packaging equipment.

Arla’s APAC lead: Asia’s GLP-1 food shift depends on cost and pills

Arla’s APAC lead: Asia’s GLP-1 food shift depends on cost and pills

Arla Food Ingredients' Asia Pacific head says GLP-1 drug use in APAC is still early, held back by cost, reimbursement and lower obesity rates. Generics and pills could change the pace. US survey data broadly match his forecast of gains for protein-rich foods and pressure on confectionery and less healthy snacks, giving APAC product teams an early view of which categories grow and which shrink.

  • 01EY-Parthenon survey data show US GLP-1 users cutting back on sweet and salty snacks—signals APAC food makers can use to see which categories to watch while adoption in Asia is still early.
  • 02Products built to deliver more nutrition in smaller portions don't depend on drug uptake. Among US consumers managing their weight, far more cut calories or exercise than take medication.
