Dialogue
E: So, thanks for coming in today. It's great to finally meet face to face.
R: The pleasure is ours.
E: So, today will be intensive ― we must leave no stone unturned. We have our views in London as to how the last few years have been for WCS and how we see the market going forward. We'd like to see how these coinside with your perspectives here in Tokyo. Daniel, could you lead us into our first topic?
D: So, our first topic is how the pandemic has affected you and how things are improving. Ron, could you give us an overview?
R: Sure. As for the well-established Bordeaux and Burgundy wines, both collectors and producers are happy. But with less established wines, we aren't selling enough to keep the producers finacially stable or offering enough variety to keep our customers interested. I think our "traditional" image is hurting us.
