Culture

Adieu, Wine.
Millennials, now being of-age, have the income, affinity and size to be a lucrative market, yet eschew fine wines as their drink of choice. As the CEO of a leading German fine wine online retailer confessed: “We know that it’s important to reach new consumers under 40. But we haven't figured out, how to attract a younger demographic .”

Cheers, Culture.
This overwhelmingly diverse market is rapidly growing, yet poorly served. Wines are still marketed around tasting notes and french chateaus.
In an age, in which emerging cultures seek to establish a more contemporary version of a refined life, mirroring aspirations and values marketing around old European charm becomes an ineffective tool to entice this new generation into becoming loyal wine consumers.
Problems.
- Product.
- Product.
Product.
Too Complex. Millennial consumers new to fine wines feel overwhelmed by a complex buying experience, entry barriers and choices.
Product Obsession. Wine is perceived as intimidating. Grape varieties, regions, scores and industry jargon can be hard to grasp. Marketing, design and communication are centered around the product, not about the consumer experience.
Marketing.
- Marketing.
Poor digital experience. Very few business models have a clear mobile-first strategy.
Out of touch. The wine industry feels outdated in the ways they communicate to young consumers. Chateaus, estates and ostentatious luxury don’t fit with our values, zeitgeist and don’t mirror a rapid shift towards a greatly culturally diverse world.
Beyond Wine.
We sell tomorrow's culture – not just wine – to an aspirational and diverse consumer.

Customer Segment.
Cosmopolitan – Evening looks to cater to an international audience, who are proud of having a global identity, life and social relations. They non-chalantly fit in Shanghai, as much in Hamburg, Rome or Toronto.
Female – We target mostly upper-middle income female professionals in senior position, age 29–39 (± 4years), living in urban centres.
Digital – Evening aims to entice mobile-first users, who are highly connected, digital natives of the first generation, who emphasise offline connection, but use online to orchestrate their real life. Our target consumers have an astute affinity for aesthetic impression & consumption.
