Capitalizing on the Growth of the Spritz and Low-ABV Preferences, Riunite Expands Its Reach Across a New Generation of Drinkers NEW YORK, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Riunite, the historic Italian wine brand and global leader in Lambrusco, announces a series of local tasting events across the U.S. in celebration of National Lambrusco Day on June 21, 2025. These events are part of a broader, nationwide campaign designed to honor the occasion and reintroduce Lambrusco to today's wine drinker, while maintaining Riunite's position as the global leader in the category. "We're thrilled to bring people together over the standout pairing of Riunite Lambrusco and pizza" says Elena Lottici, Export Manager at Cantine Riunite. "With these activations, Riunite is cementing its role as the driving force behind National Lambrusco Day—making it a key moment for both the brand and the broader Lambrusco category. And what better way to celebrate National Lambrusco Day, honor Riunite's legacy, and showcase the lively, food-friendly character of the wine." Italy's largest wine group—and currently the #1 selling Italian red value brand under $11 in the U.S.— is once again winning over a new generation of consumers by combining nostalgic appeal with a fresh, modern twist. After nearly three decades as one of the top 10 imported wines in the U.S., the brand is experiencing renewed momentum through a nationwide marketing campaign focused on the experience/occasion of pizza / pairing to introduce the brand and the larger Lambrusco category in an approachable and accessible way. With an AI-powered pizza contest that has become a standout element of its efforts to engage a new generation of consumers, already attracting over 12,000 participants across the country, with winners set to receive a year's supply of pizza. To reinforce its strong position in the category and celebrate National Lambrusco Day, Riunite has invested in a refreshed digital presence, including a new website, along with social media, influencer partnerships, strategic communications, and paid media initiatives. Additionally, events in partnership with Liquid Productions will be held in cities across the country, including NYC, Milwaukee, Nashville, Chicago, Dallas, and Tampa Bay.

Building on Lambrusco's market dominance and the growing popularity of spritz cocktails—now a top 3 trending cocktail and among the top 2 most consumed in the U.S., according to the latest report by Ground Signal—Riunite recently introduced the Lambrusco Spritz: a refreshing blend of Lambrusco, sparkling wine, and a splash of lemon, served over ice and garnished with a vibrant lemon wheel.

Hooters shutters dozens of restaurants after bankruptcy filing as industry suffers
Hooters has closed dozens of restaurants nationwide just a few months after filing for bankruptcy as a slump in consumer sentiment continues to hit casual dining chains hard. Around 30 locations were shuttered across Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas, according to local news outlets. 'After careful consideration of what is needed to best position our company for the future, Hooters made the difficult decision to close certain Company-owned locations,' with closures effective Wednesday, a Hooters spokesperson told The Post. Hooters has closed dozens of restaurants around the country just a few months after filing for bankruptcy. AP CNN earlier reported the closures. The dining chain, best known for its scantily-clad, all-female staff, filed for bankruptcy in March to address $376 million in debt. At the time, it boasted that its restaurants 'are here to stay' and announced plans to sell all 150 locations to a franchise group backed by the chain's founders. Earlier in the year, Hooters had revealed a 're-Hooterization' effort aimed at creating a more family-friendly image for the chain and improving service times and ingredients. The closures are not a complete surprise, as the chain said it was evaluating its retail footprint during the bankruptcy process. Hooters is just one of many fast-casual dining chains to suffer over the past few years as food prices remain stubbornly high and consumer sentiment slumps, prodding customers to tighten their purse-strings and cook at home more. Last week, Bahama Breeze abruptly closed more than one-third of its locations, or 15 stores, including its sole restaurant on Long Island. The Caribbean-inspired dining chain is owned by Darden Restaurants, which also runs Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse. Hooters is just one of many fast-casual dining chains to suffer over the past few years. Alamy Stock Photo TGI Fridays filed for bankruptcy in November and closed a whopping 100 locations last year. Red Lobster, which struggled to recover from its all-you-can-eat shrimp deal, shuttered at least 50 locations and filed for bankruptcy last May. It hired a new chief executive that summer. Italian restaurant chain Buca di Beppo also closed about 20 locations and filed for bankruptcy in 2024. It was a rough year across the industry. Sales ticked up just 3% across the 500 largest restaurant chains in the US – the slowest rate in a decade aside from the pandemic, according to Technomic's Top 500 Chain Restaurant Report. More than half of those chains saw their sales fail to keep pace with the 4% food service inflation rate, according to the report.

Is It Too Late to Buy Uber?
Uber is now a massive, scaled, and global platform, which is helping it report significant profits. The company's competitive advantages have drawn the attention of key partners, most notably in the autonomous vehicle space. Shares have surged in the past couple of years, but the current valuation is reasonable. 10 stocks we like better than Uber Technologies › Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER) has been on an absolute tear. As of June 3, its shares have soared 38% in 2025. That's a tremendous gain during a time when the broader S&P 500 index is up just 2%. If you zoom out, the return is even more eye-popping. In the past two years, this top growth stock has catapulted 109% higher. Strong financial performance is clearly winning over the investment community. Perhaps you've missed the ride thus far. Is it too late for investors to buy Uber? It's been incredible to observe Uber's monumental ascent. What was once solely a ride-hailing service has evolved into both a mobility and delivery behemoth. In Q4 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, mobility gross bookings represented 75% of the company's total. In the latest quarter (Q1 2025), it was an almost even split between mobility and delivery. This kind of diversified model is hard to overstate, and it gives Uber an advantage. This shows up in the ability to leverage the same driver network, allowing these gig workers to earn more money. Uber has more data to work with, which can support various marketing and promotional activities. And it can be a holistic solution for consumers who don't want to navigate multiple apps. What's more, Uber brings in more than one revenue stream. In the first quarter of 2025, it registered $6.5 billion in revenue from mobility and $3.8 billion from delivery. There is a freight segment as well, which is tiny by comparison. What was probably once unimaginable to the critics is now a reality. And that is the fact that Uber is extremely profitable these days. It's a scaled platform that is boosting bottom-line performance. Uber posted $1.2 billion in operating income in Q1. That figure is a drastic improvement from a $1.3 billion operating loss in the first quarter of 2020. A fresh focus on creating a more efficient organization is clearly working. The management team expects adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to grow about 37% to 40% between 2024 and 2027. Uber continues to operate from a position of strength thanks to its tremendous network effect. It counted 170 million monthly active users in Q1. There are more than 7 million drivers. And last year, Uber surpassed 1 million merchants. With more users, drivers, and merchants, the entire platform constantly becomes more valuable to all stakeholders. Uber's competitive position is also supported by its powerful brand presence. The Uber name is now often used as a verb, both for getting from point A to point B and for having something delivered. That mindshare works wonders for Uber's visibility. And it highlights just how valuable Uber has become to other companies that want to tap into such a massive user base. Uber recently announced partnerships with OpenTable and Delta Air Lines. And key players working on autonomous vehicle (AV) technology, like Waymo, WeRide, and many others, have also chosen to partner with Uber to help further develop, improve, and commercialize their services. Because of Uber's competitive strengths and unrivaled reach, it makes sense these partners are leaning on it. Uber is positioning itself to be a leader in AV. At the start of 2025, shares traded at a very compelling forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 16.7. Of course, the situation isn't as cheap today. The current multiple is 22.9. However, I don't believe this valuation is asking too much of investors. As mentioned, there are many reasons to like this business. And there remains a sizable growth opportunity. For instance, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi says that AV technology alone presents a $1 trillion opportunity just in the U.S. Additionally, Uber is trying to sign up more teenagers, increase rider frequency, and expand use cases. There appears to be substantial upside for prospective investors over the long term. This means it's not too late to buy Uber stock.
