To keep growing and be more profitable, the business must choose amongst three possible strategic directions. The first strategy is to start importing wines from Europe into the United States. The second alternative is branching into a retail outlet for unusual wines of great value, accompanied by a high level of service. Lastly, the business’ D.E.W.N could be expanded to include wines not made by the company itself but by other wineries that follow the same values and philosophy.…

    For the Ceja vineyard team to be able to determine what decision to be made we must first look at some of the key issues they face.

Finally the last challenge which is more like an opportunity is how Ceja vineyards will manage the growth of the wine club, which has seen a considerable amount of growth since its inception.…
