Our service will expertly guide you through capturing and collating the right information to ensure it is available and accessible to the UK trade and press, invaluable in today’s fast moving, digital world.

AUDIT

We will assess all your available information to gain an overview on its quality, relevance and accessibility, both on and offline.  Our review includes any information or digital assets you currently make available to trade, press and consumers.

PROCESS

Our interactive process will capture that which is benchmark and unique about you, all the relevant technical and factual, as well as engaging and descriptive information.  ‘Your Story’ is crystallised and communicated in two professionally presented, simple formats:

  • Producer Profile – standalone information which provides important context to support the specific detail for individual wines.
  • Wine Information (Tech) Sheet – factual and engaging detail for each wine in a consistent and coherent format.

OPTIONS

Our framework is flexible to suit your individual requirements.  The finished result is tailored entirely to you and will exceed expectations well beyond the industry standard, with the high quality and breadth of information you have supplied in support of your wines.

Important considerations for taking a thorough audit of your current information: 
  • How confident are you on the relevance and quality of information you currently provide?
  • Does it provide sufficient, relevant detail, clear benchmark information, speak uniquely of you and your wine?
  • Can it fully communicate ‘Your Story’ when you are not there to explain everything in person?
  • Does it meet the needs of your agent or importer to respond efficiently to information requests, to fully support your sales in the UK wine trade?
  • Can journalists, independent retailers, sommeliers, or consumers easily find out more about you?
  • Is it accessible, downloadable, available online? Is it up to date?

Digital assets – what do you currently make available?

  • High quality digital bottle shots, logo and general images are integral to a professional presentation of your information
  • they are an essential part of your toolkit for you and your customers to communicate online
