Setting the Standard for Millennial Wine Consumers
Whether you realize it or not, millennials are today’s wine consumers, not tomorrow’s potential customers. They are taking the nation by storm in determining new ways to communicate, interact, and determine their own distinctive taste and style. Through social media, texting, blogs, clubs, bars, restaurants, consumer tastings, and other social outlets, millennials are making their own statements and making their opinions known.
So, if you want to know what a millennial thinks, ask a millennial. That’s why we present the 4th annual NextGen Wine Competition for Millennial Wine Drinkers, designed specifically with this audience in mind and judged by qualified and knowledgeable wine industry millennials aged 21-35. Produced by Vineyard & Winery Management, NextGen is one of the fastest growing and most exciting wine competitions in North America today.
Millennials will be talking, so be sure and give them something to talk about. Improve your exposure, add talking points, and find out how your wine ranks with today’s millennial audience. I invite you to enter your wines today. And don’t forget to take advantage of our Super Saver discount. You’ll save $10 per wine if you enter by April 18!
Sincerely,
Giovanni “Gio” Balistreri, Chief Judge
