No one is suggesting the brand be brought down to the bargain basement shelves, just a wider availability. I did purchase a few bottles of their premium Grand Reserve, which is an exceptional wine. They are ramping up the vinyard acreage, and numbers of third party vineyards, to increase the availability of their entry kevel wines, which will boost the numbers of bottles sold.

Thanks for the HL recommendation Spoony. Ive set up my account and have a fill order in place... cheers.

Absolutely, they are expanding the number of vineyards they will be using. Some good sponsorship events in the last year, and an upward trend in English wines, in top quality restaurants will only push sales upwards. Would be good to see their wine in further big name outlets, instead of just Waitrose.

I had a visit to Chapeldown two weeks ago, and I can say I was impressed with the setup, product and their vision for the company. I currently have only bought shares via my Lloyds sharedealing account... problem is it doesnt support buying on Aquis market.

Any recommendations for a broker ? Chapel Down looks a good long term bet. Shame I didnt visit at the end of June, when it was sub 30p.

Dechra expanded into an additional office building, in Northwich last year. Nice bold move, signalling their intentions to expand. This is a nice stock to have in your portfolio.

Its a growing start up company, they are not comparable. But I get what your doing..

The figures in 2017 do not reflect the current financials for 2018. Why reference them ?

Last trading update was in July, with an interim update in October ???

Nice level for a punt at 9p. Bought in at 9.5 yesterday but tempted to add more.

The drop seems to be because of a large sum Dechra have put by as a contingency for a less than favourable brexit result, plus closing a business in Iran.

The price will bounce back, as investors buy back in after the fear subsides.

Im invested here, but my Rum of choice is Ableforths Rumbullion. Its £32-£36 a bottle, which isnt in the same price point as Redleg, but is so moreish..

Great buying opportunity to be honest. Someones buying and selling in 25000 blocks. Most of this "drop" is in the spread, so Im not worried at all here.

If you want to know for sure if a brands doing well, ask the shelf stackers themselves. They will tell you what the stock levels are and if its flying off the shelves. All you need is a little banter with the trolley girls...

This dead cat didnt bounce far.... Still, Im sure its going to rise long term.

You were predicting �1.50 to �2.00 not long ago... you must be hurting at this level.

The distribution issue, from reading the reports, is something Distil's board are looking at, at the moment. I agree with A2B, in that this should produce a rise in the share price, as the company can then focus on products, and sales, rather than being sidetracked by the distribution issue. This is going to be a big decision for the BOM, as it lays out the future for their sales options in the US. A wrong decision could be disastrous.. I think they are looking at this decision to be finalised by end of Q4.

A little research found Redleg is a blend mainly of Appleton Estates 3 year old rum from Jamaica, plus a blend of other Caribbean rums as part of the blend, then its infused with real vanilla etc, not chemicals, and shipped in bulk to the UK, for bottling. I'd imagine the Vodka and Gin is Scottish made. I've been reading the last 4 years balance sheets and directors statements, and the only issues I can see here are the companies concerns over sales following Brexit. Unless there is something blindingly obvious, I cant see the reason for the fall. The only thing I can remotely think is the investors that took a position in the 1p period, cashing out as the sp drops.

Which third party distillery are Distil currently using ? I've found the UK distributor, Hi Spirits, but reading back through the companies house reports, and RNS's, I cant see who it is.

Having done a little research, you are correct, this is a cracking entry point. Made a little punt this morning so lets see if there is a decent bounce.

Im like this in real life I'm afraid. Loud and opinionated... but I apologise for the comments. So A2B... whats your take on why the company price has fallen ? I wanted to buy in last summer, but was too late, and the stock rose from 2p to the dizzy heights of 3 plus. Im glad I hesitated as I thought it was a false rise, fuelled by media speculation and hype. Thats all gone, and all we are left with is a decline unitl good news.
