Research Shows the Trade Want Sustainable Wines

As wines make their way through distribution channels, your brand ethos can get lost in the shuffle of distributor portfolios, on premise lists, and supermarket shelves. Full Glass research recently conducted a survey of over 4,700 people in the trade (e.g. sales representatives, store owners, distributors) and found that sustainable messaging helps drive sales as consumers are increasingly aware of and demanding sustainable wines. The research found that making your certification visible on the bottle and on marketing materials aids in sales.
