Stop Blaming Millennials — gregory+vine

Millennials are the reason why your premium bottles aren't selling, but they are not the problem. Our agency team delves into this issue and offers some key insights in our most recent blog post. We'd love to hear from you: has your brand evolved to meet the new demands of the millennial consumer?

Dear Wine Industry: it’s time to stop blaming millennials for a lack of interest in overpriced and overhyped wine. Since the 1970s, vintners and landowners have steadily inflated bottle prices: cult brands like Screaming Eagle and Colgin command an incomprehensible $1,000 per bottle. The problem i

Day 44 of working from home, and we wish this is what our #homeoffice looked like. We polled our team for tips to stay productive at-home—what has been working for you?
-
🏡 "My number 1, is making sure that I separate home and work. I never work from the couch or let it invade my down-time space"
-
🎧 "I have to find a place where I can close the door and have some quiet. Noise-canceling headphones have been a lifesaver: they drown out the constant ambient noises (vacuum, mowers, kids)"
-
🖥️ "My second monitor really helps make my home set-up feel more like the office and ups productivity for sure"
-
👣 💪 "I take at least a 30 min break mid-day. Whether it's a workout or lunch (if a workout, I eat lunch while I work)"
-
📓 "I have a task list set up at the end of the week that I can look through. This helps me not stress and balance my time. There's nothing better than crossing things off your to-do list"

Taking a moment to give a shout out to Trish, our NYC Managing Dir., on her birthday: Happy Birthday Trish! If you can't tell, she will be celebrating (at home) with a bottle of #champagne, her beverage of choice. Read on to find out how Trish first came into the wine industry and pursued her #dipWSET:
Q: How did you first get into wine and spirits?
Trish: While working in London in the early 2000s, I often visited a friend who lived in Evian. He was a wonderful cook and maintained an impressive wine cellar. He exposed me to wines I’d never tried and ignited my passion for tasting and food pairings. One night he opened a white wine in a tall bottle. I'll never forget the delicate notes of orange blossom and honey as I raised the glass to my nose. It was the 1996 Clos St. Hune Riesling - I’ve since held onto the label. After that moment, my explorations in wine never ceased. My newfound passion and curiosity led me to #WSET, which I began in London and later completed with the Diploma in NYC. But the world of wine is a lifelong education. I continue to learn new things everyday.
