Bordeaux Wines Launches Second Year of Dynamic Global Campaign, #JointheBordeauxCrew
Focused on its winemaking community, the campaign kicks off its second year with signature events, promotions, and educational programming NEW YORK, May 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Making an impression, modernizing their image, getting people on board! This is the goal that the winegrowers and merchants of Bordeaux have set themselves. A number of changes have taken place in the vineyards to better adapt to today's world. For the past 12 months, a collective communications strategy has been rolled out simultaneously in France and in key export markets including Belgium, the United Kingdom and the United States, with Japan lined up for 2025. Bordeaux is reinventing itself, and it's time to tell the storyThe Bordeaux vineyard is diverse: whether through its men and women, younger generations, historic families, and career-changers, its styles of wine (timeless, atypical, iconic) and colors (red, white, rosé), and its approach to sustainable viticulture (Organic, CSR, Biodynamic, etc). Bordeaux wines' new tagline invites enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike to explore its multi-dimensional vineyard, as it embraces its heritage whilst shaking up traditions. This communications campaign, run by the CIVB in conjunction with the trade and the AOPs, is already having an impact on the image and perception of Bordeaux wines in terms of their modernity and appeal, with record engagement across social networks in 2024. Building on this momentum, the 2025 program will see a multi-channel strategy, multiplying informal opportunities to (re)connect with those who consume Bordeaux wines, those who sell them and those who promote them around the world. Signature events that bring people together and leave a lasting impressionLaunched in London in 2024, Bordeaux Experience events will be held in Tokyo and San Francisco in 2025. The concept: 2 or 3 days completely devoted to Bordeaux. A team of Bordeaux winegrowers and merchants will be on hand to give both trade and consumers a relaxed, authentic experience that promotes discovery through tastings and masterclasses. In France, Bordeaux Fête le Vin, Europe's biggest wine tourism event, will be returning to Bordeaux in June. Over 1,000 people from the wine sector take part every year, hosting more than 300,000 tastings over 4 days. Consumer-facing promotions with initiatives including La Tournée des Vins de Bordeaux in France (March), sponsorship of the MasterChef in Belgium (March - April), Bordeaux Wine Month in London (September), Big Bottles in New York (September), Bordeaux Wine Fair in Tokyo (October), will all highlight the diversity of Bordeaux wines, in the presence of the people who make them, in both the on- and off-trade. And in more unexpected places for increasingly informal occasionsBordeaux wines will be offered in a number of new settings, highlighting new and unexpected times for consumption, proving to Gen X and millennial audiences that Bordeaux wines can also be enjoyed casually, away from the table. These include Antwerpen Proeft festival (May - Belgium), Rock en Seine (August - France), V and B Fest' (August - France), Love Supreme Festival (July - UK), The Big Feastival (August - UK). As well as wines of all colors by the glass, these pop-up Bordeaux Wine Bars will also offer a selection of wines on tap and in barrels. And education will be central to every initiative with Bordeaux Wine SchoolAt each event, the school, set up over 30 years ago, offers introductory workshops, expert masterclasses and fun activities to enhance the journey of discovery for consumers and professionals alike. The 250 tutors – from Bordeaux, Japan, America, Belgium and beyond – share their knowledge with more than 120,000 people every year. Digital technology as an amplifierBordeaux wines, thanks to winemakers and merchants, continue to reveal their secrets with original content on social media platforms. Explaining, demonstrating, telling the story, and bringing the Bordeaux Lovers community together. And always prioritizing local issuesSince 2020, the #Bordeauxlocal movement has been promoting local products alongside Bordeaux wines in the Gironde. A unifying force, it brings together restaurateurs, wine merchants, oyster farmers and many others. In 2024, #Bordeauxlocal received the support of three regions, covering 90 towns, through the signing of agreements to promote the movement. In 2025, further support will be rolled out. In 2025, Bordeaux continues its strategy to reconquer markets, with people, teamwork and the grassroots at the heart of its approach. Unmissable opportunities with Bordeaux wines in 2025 in the United States After Bordeaux winemakers and negociants flew to San Francisco on May 13th to meet with the press, trade and consumers for an immersive Bordeaux Experience, more events are scheduled in the USA: August: TexSom, Dallas - Texas (trade show for sommeliers) A Bordeaux masterclass and a dinner with Saint-Emilion producers.

Why Civista Bancshares (CIVB) is a Great Dividend Stock Right Now
All investors love getting big returns from their portfolio, whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities. But when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments. While cash flow can come from bond interest or interest from other types of investments, income investors hone in on dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends make up large portions of long-term returns, and in many cases, dividend contributions surpass one-third of total returns. Civista Bancshares (CIVB) is headquartered in Sandusky, and is in the Finance sector. The stock has seen a price change of 11.07% since the start of the year. The bank holding company is currently shelling out a dividend of $0.17 per share, with a dividend yield of 2.91%. This compares to the Banks - Midwest industry's yield of 3.14% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.54%. In terms of dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $0.68 is up 6.3% from last year. Civista Bancshares has increased its dividend 4 times on a year-over-year basis over the last 5 years for an average annual increase of 9.33%. Any future dividend growth will depend on both earnings growth and the company's payout ratio; a payout ratio is the proportion of a firm's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Right now, Civista Bancshares's payout ratio is 30%, which means it paid out 30% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend. Looking at this fiscal year, CIVB expects solid earnings growth. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 is $2.84 per share, representing a year-over-year earnings growth rate of 41.29%. From greatly improving stock investing profits and reducing overall portfolio risk to providing tax advantages, investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons. But, not every company offers a quarterly payout. Big, established firms that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options, but it's fairly uncommon to see high-growth businesses or tech start-ups offer their stockholders a dividend. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. That said, they can take comfort from the fact that CIVB is not only an attractive dividend play, but also represents a compelling investment opportunity with a Zacks Rank of #1 (Strong Buy).

Chinese owners sell off Bordeaux vineyards as demand dries up
In France's Médoc region, vines wither in the weeds in front of a faded château. The estate is owned by Mr Wan (not his real name), one of the first mainland Chinese to buy a Bordeaux vineyard back in 2011. Today, the septuagenarian wanders the château's eight unheated bedrooms in a padded jacket. Wan is desperate to sell. It's a forlorn sight common across Bordeaux. During the 2010s 176 vineyards in the region were purchased by Chinese nationals. Wan, who 'bought it because I had a passion for the wine lifestyle', acquired two — the other near the telegenic town of Saint-Émilion. Another Chinese gentleman, Qu Naijie, bought 27. Christophe Chateau, communications director at the CIVB, Bordeaux's wine marketing board, outlined the original dream. The

Bordeaux wine harvest drops to lowest level since 1991
Often called the world's most famous wine country, Bordeaux -- France's biggest wine region -- produces the iconic Medoc, Saint-Emilion, and Pomerol high-end wines, as well as larger quantities of lower-priced produce. In total, Bordeaux winemakers produced 3.3 million hectolitres of wine last year, after 3.8 million in 2023, a drop of 14 percent. Unfavourable weather, especially episodes of frost, weighed on production, while a high level of rainfall in the spring favoured the spread of disease, notably mildew. Another major factor was a government-subsidised reduction in the size of vineyards amid efforts to curb over-production. Just 95,000 hectares of Bordeaux wine country was cultivated in 2024, down from 103,000 the year before. But wine professionals detected a silver lining. They say low output would cause prices to rise, and demand to soak up stocks built up in years of excess production. "This will happen over the coming months or years," said Christophe Chateau, a spokesman for the CIVB wine sector association, saying that wine sales had already outstripped current production last year. "If you sell more than you produce, then you not only meet demand, you can dip into your stocks and, arithmetically, prices will rise," he told AFP. Meanwhile, Bordeaux winemakers are concerned about the impact of any new tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump. The United States is the Bordeaux region's top export market with wine worth €340 million shipped to the US last year. "We're not sure what this will mean for sales," said Chateau. "If Trump slaps a 25-percent tax on French wines in the US, sales there will fall and the imbalances will continue." Trump on Thursday unveiled a plan for "reciprocal tariffs" that could affect both allies and competitors, in an escalation of trade tensions since the start of his term.
