Branding Strategy & Naming Terminology
Wineries have to make their products appealing while simultaneously educating the segment of their audience that doesn’t understand what makes a fine wine.
Marketing is all about an experience that the wine maker sells. The notes of the wine, the taste, the foods that it can be paired with and the occasions it’s suitable for can all be used to make the campaign outstanding.
Good marketing can also give potential clients a glimpse into the wine making process. Visual and video-based campaigns make brands more approachable, even when people don’t have the palate of a sommelier.
As far as naming goes, small wineries and brand new wine makers have a lot of freedom. It’s good to stay away from the clichés. Anything reminiscent of France and Napa Valley has been overused. The focus has to be on the history of the winery, the values that guide its operations and the unique characteristics of the wine.

Demographic & Interests
Wine companies work with both connoisseurs and people who enjoy the occasional glass of wine.
The first group is looking for quality. These people understand the differences between grape varieties, they can taste wine notes and they have a well-established preference. Wine connoisseurs aren’t looking for the cheapest options. They stick to their preference and they can become really loyal.
People who enjoy a glass of wine every now and then don’t have a discerning taste. Often, they will be looking for a bargain and their knowledge will be limited. Such people will often switch from brand to brand because they’d like to try something new. A good price to quality ratio is leading one such clients have to make a decision.
