Breweries and Wineries

Breweries and wineries have unique operations that call for specialized insurance. That’s why EMC offers industry–specific coverage and extensive loss control services. Our insurance program is customizable, giving breweries and wineries the right coverage at the right price.

Essential Property and Casualty Coverage

The EMC Breweries and Wineries Program offers specialized coverages for buildings, businesses’ personal property and the personal property of others. Coverage highlights include:

  • Beverage contamination—Beverages need protection against contamination concerns such as wild bacteria or residual cleaning solvents
  • Key employee replacement expense—Essential personnel like brewmasters and enologists can be difficult to replace in the event of permanent disability or death
  • Processing errors—Breweries and wineries are protected if batches aren’t quite right due to errors such as unintentional blending of products or accidentally adding too much water
  • Product withdrawal expenses—Expenses associated with a product recall could include costs to notify customers, shipping fees to return the products or the cost of temporary employees to assist with the recall
  • Tank collapse and leakage—Finished or in–process products can become unusable due to tank failure or leakage

By protecting against business distractions and interruptions, EMC helps breweries and wineries focus on what’s important—making quality products. Our full range of commercial insurance include the following coverages and more:
