Entry Essay: 
SevenFifty Daily is an independent, online trade magazine focused on the business and culture of the beverage alcohol industry. We serve drinks professionals working across wine, beer, and spirits, including suppliers (winemakers, brewers, distillers), distributors, importers, and buyers (sommeliers, bartenders, retailers). Our publication launched in mid-2017 to fill a void: While existing drinks trade magazines targeted executives and large corporations, there was no publication dedicated to working members of the drinks business. SevenFifty Daily arose as a publication for the industry, by the industry.

This year, we published nearly 100 original, independent editorial articles for a community of more than 60,000 professionals who visit our site each month. These articles are uniquely focused on the topics that are most important to our drinks industry audience, from operational stories that offer ideas on improving efficiency and effectiveness in the workplace, to product-led stories that surface new and exciting beverage SKUs, according to industry professionals themselves.

But it’s our coverage of industry issues and innovations that really put our coverage ahead this year. Stories on the origins of the neo-Prohibitionist movement, the real impact of alcohol on health, and the danger of impending tariffs address existential threats to our industry—and therefore, our audience. Through these stories, we provided information that had not previously been discussed by the media.

Our coverage this year also addressed numerous topics around sustainability, something that is exceptionally top of mind for the alcohol industry, and spotlighted innovators who are leading the way for the future of our profession. It is part of our mission to represent the full spectrum of diverse voices in the beverage space, so we ask our writers to source experts from a wide range of backgrounds, including women, people of color, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community in each and every story.

Nearly eight years into our publication’s lifespan, 2024 has brought some of our most in-depth and timely coverage, and a great deal of work from our editorial, design, and production teams has contributed to this ambitious body of work.
