Tastings are one of the most critical factors in gaining new converts to a brand. In a recent consumer survey by Nielsen, 75% of wine consumers ranked in-store tastings as the #1 reason for trying new wines
In-Store Tastings
Why Invest?
You are helping the retailer sell your brand: you are helping yourself get a placement there and a repeat order once you sell your wine
Tastings increase your brands awareness putting it directly in front of consumers allowing them to try before they buy
You have an event to market on your Social Network and build a fan base
When consumers taste your wine, you can turn them to your wine
You are helping the distributor by helping the retailer
