Is it me, or are fewer and fewer supermarket chains now carrying the Welch's Sparkling grape juices? It seems the only three that now carry it are Fry's, Walmart, and Target. Albertsons/Safeway and Bashas' no longer seem to carry it. I wonder, is their competitor Martinelli's paying incentives to these supermarket chains to carry their product exclusively at the expense of Welch's? I much prefer Welch's, especially the Sparkling Rosé grape juice.

Has anyone else noticed a similar trend?

Shelf space is expensive to the suppliers. If the product is not moving fast enough to make it profitable and it's losing money then it's removed.

This is the likely explanation. I'd suggest posing such questions to store management, which is the actual source for the answer, rather than C-D

Plus it isn't just the Rosé that is being removed, but all the flavors. Something just doesn't seem right.

Ask store management. I suspect you are the only one here that is concerned about this. If that is a reflection of how little of this is being sold around here, then that may be the answer to your question, as noted above.

I have some doubt this is the reason, because during the holiday season Walmart and Target had loads of the Welch's sparkling grape juice, and last spring/summer Target was heavily promoting the Rosé. I find it more likely that Martinelli's might be paying some incentive to Albertsons/Safeway and Bashas' to only stock their product. Remember how the supermarket business works - it operates on a "pay to stay" model.
