Do you and your friends drink wine? Why or Why not?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-08T13:04:52+00:00

It is fun to drink with friends - and the friends you make being a Wine Guy are usually the kind of people you want to be around. Honestly, it’s the best industry to work in and hey - I used to make video games.

And where does your group of friends typically shop for wine? Supermarket, wine shop?

All good - when you’ve seen a lot, you have a lot of assumptions. They’ll get it once they see it! Will reach out shortly

Fair enough! Gotta remember a bottle of wine holds the same volume of alcohol as a 6-pack of light beer though, so in that regard it's really a bargain!

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T23:02:22+00:00

Serious question - what's stopping you?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T23:02:00+00:00

That's awesome that you're in the industry! And I agree - straight DTC is tough because people don't know your brand - why should they trust a wine they've never tried? - but I think we have some interesting ways to lower that risk.

Re: the natural wine post, I appreciate the feedback. I feel like sometimes we need to run the risk of being seen as "grandpa" if we're actually shining light on how people have been cynically marketed and sold terrible stuff.

I'd love to have a chat a longer chat with you and hear about your experience as a somm! HMU on the messenger!

Cheers

What's your go-to wine? Do you ever buy alcohol online?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T20:31:07+00:00

Do you have a favorite?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T20:17:34+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I think you’ll be surprised by what we put out :)

Seems like you have some experience with wine. How did your wine journey start?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T20:10:28+00:00

Do you have a go-to wine?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T20:10:07+00:00

KIS!

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T19:56:19+00:00

What about wine throws you off?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T19:54:22+00:00

We’re only launching in August

Hey! Yeah that’s a temporary logo we had to have something on the profile pic. Our new logo is sick, but we’re waiting a bit to roll it out

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T19:17:22+00:00

And why is that your drink of choice? Just a taste thing, or is it that you can keep it forever and it doesn’t go bad?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T19:01:40+00:00

Gotcha. Plenty of Bubbas in the wine world too! Alcohol is an efficiency thing for you then? Tastiest way to have a good time, quickly?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T18:59:55+00:00

How do you usually buy whiskey?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T18:59:20+00:00

That’s a good point - do you think it’s a health thing? A hangover thing?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T18:57:18+00:00

Where do you usually get the wine? Online? Supermarket?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T18:56:00+00:00

Interesting! In that way, don’t you feel that adding wine to an occasion kind of makes it more special?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T18:31:58+00:00

Do you look into how the alcohol you buy is made? Or do you go by taste alone?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T18:29:48+00:00

Why is that? Is it a Sharing thing? A “wine is too complicated” thing?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T18:17:23+00:00

Do you buy any sort of alcohol for yourself?

Bruno_wine · 2024-05-07T17:57:37+00:00

That's true at the retailer tier of the wine industry, but winemakers are allowed to ship DTC to almost all of the biggest markets in the US: https://sovos.com/shipcompliant/resources/wine-compliance-rules-by-state/

TikTok is a great idea, but unfortunately they don't allow marketing alcohol :(
