Marie Brizard Posts 1st Half Profit as Sales Slipped 5.8%

Marie Brizard Wine & Spirits said it earned 1.5 million Euros, in the first half, reversing a year-earlier 1.4 million Euro loss.  Sales slipped 5.8% to 81 million. The company attributed the lower sales to the impact of Covid-related restrictions, lower demand for hydro-alcoholic gel and some shipment deferrals to the second half of the year.
