The beverage industry is becoming increasingly saturated with new wine brands from around the world. Whether its trending varietals or labels designed specifically to a new market, brand owners are facing extremely competitive environments.

As the industry continues to evolve and companies continue to add to the endless selection available to consumers, so too are novel marketing practices being employed by innovative wineries.
