Wine farms often reach for discounts when they want quick results. But wine isn’t fast fashion.
It’s connection, place, patience, and personality poured into a bottle.
When someone picks your wine off a shelf or adds it to their cart, they’re buying more than flavour. They’re buying the feeling your story gives them. The moment they say, “this feels like me.”
That’s what great storytelling does. It moves wine from product to experience.
Why discounts fall short
Discounts attract attention but rarely build value. The race to the bottom doesn’t end with loyalty—it ends with fatigue. The moment your discount ends, your customer moves on.
A story, on the other hand, lasts. It builds memory. It gives meaning to why your wine costs what it does.
What makes a story worth sharing
Good stories don’t start with marketing—they start with authenticity. They show the people, the place, the challenges, the choices. They invite us in rather than sell to us.
If you’ve ever walked through your vineyards at sunrise or opened a bottle that carries the season’s struggle and triumph, you already have a story. The question is whether your audience can feel it.
Where to tell your story
Your digital channels are your modern tasting room.
- Social media: Let your feed feel like a diary, not a billboard.
- Email: Write as if you’re writing to a friend. Share moments alongside offers.
- Website: Make it easy to explore who you are, not just what you sell.
Why it matters now
Younger wine drinkers want connection, not perfection. They want to know who made the wine and why it matters. They reward honesty over polish.
If you can show the real people, the small wins, the laughter, the effort it builds trust. And trust drives sales far longer than a discount ever could.
