Best Practices

• •Balance Expertise with Accessibility: Use accurate terminology but always explain it or frame it in a way that a non-expert can understand and appreciate. Avoid overly academic or exclusionary jargon.
• •Show, Don't Just Tell, Your Passion: Instead of saying "we are passionate," let the enthusiasm shine through in your descriptions, storytelling, and the way you talk about products and experiences. ("Our team is buzzing," "delightful surprise").
• •Focus on the Experience: Connect products to moments, feelings, and occasions. Wine and spirits are about enjoyment and connection, so highlight that. (e.g., "perfect for that special dinner," "fireside chats").
• •Empower the Customer: Provide information and guidance that helps them make confident choices and discover new favorites. Staff picks, pairing suggestions, and tasting notes are great tools for this.
• •Be Human and Relatable: Use a conversational style where appropriate, especially on social media. Featuring staff, sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses, and responding genuinely to comments helps build a relatable brand personality.

Don't be afraid to pop that lighter-bodied red, like this Beaujolais, in the fridge for 15-20 mins before serving. It really makes those fruity notes pop!
