Tasting cost divided by 10 compared with a traditional bottle
Savings
A sample identical to the bottle to let people taste your brands everywhere
Want to let retailers taste the brands in your portfolio and equip your sales force in the field, without moving cases of bottles or multiplying sampling costs? That is what the Vinotte® allows.
You distribute brands that you must push, defend, and make known, often to busy buyers and retailers whose attention is earned in a few minutes. The bottle remains the reference tool for tasting, but it is heavy to transport, costly to open for a single tasting, and quickly wasted.
Vinovae rebottles the wines you distribute into a sample format whose organoleptic qualities remain faithful to the original bottle for several months. Your sales representatives can thus carry an entire range in a briefcase. Your retailers taste exactly the product they will list, and the brands you represent reduce their sampling budget.
It is an innovative commercial and marketing tool designed for distribution: lightweight, personalizable, and reassuring for the brands you carry.
Meeting your brand manager challenges
As a distributor, you must bring your portfolio brands to life in the field and convince your retailers. Whatever your challenge, we support you with adapted solutions.
- Are you looking for how to give visibility to your brands with retailers and how to make them want to list them?
- Are you looking to equip your sales force with a tasting tool that is as simple as it is striking?
- Would you like to offer the brands you distribute a solution to reduce their sampling budget while gaining visibility?
- Do you want to give your retailers the means to taste before listing without having to open a bottle at every meeting?
Behind each of these questions, there is often the same obstacle: the bottle. While the bottle is ideal for sales, it is much more restrictive when it comes to tasting: too bulky to be left with every retailer and too expensive to be opened at every meeting.
The Vinotte®: the solution designed for distribution
Here is how Vinovae’s sample format responds to the constraints of a distributor:
- Your sales representatives carry a wider range without weight constraints and leave samples with retailers.
- Each retailer tastes a product strictly identical to the original bottle.
- A unique format that distinguishes your brands in meetings or at trade shows and makes an impression.
- The right volume served for each tasting, without opened and wasted bottles.
- The brands you distribute reduce their sampling budget while reaching more professionals.
How to integrate the Vinotte® into your commercial strategy?
The format opens up concrete uses for distributors who want to make a difference in the field.
Equip your sales representatives with a sample case that fits in a briefcase. They provide tastings for an entire range in meetings, without carrying or opening numerous bottles, and leave Vinottes® as a deposit to prolong the tasting after their visit.
One rebottled bottle provides up to 36 mini wine samples. The brands you distribute thus cover far more meetings and retailers with the same volume of product—a strong argument to strengthen your partnership.
Leave Vinottes® with your retailers after a meeting. They take the time to taste or re-taste your brands, let their own team taste them, and refine their listing decision without you having to open a bottle at every visit.
Leave a gustatory memory with every contact. After the show, the buyer or retailer tastes your brands again at their own pace, which extends the exchange far beyond the event.
Support the arrival of a brand, a new range, or a vintage with a targeted tasting campaign for your retailers and prospects.
A tasting perfectly identical to the bottle, thanks to our patented process
This is the first question any demanding professional asks: is the product in a Vinotte® truly faithful to the bottle? The answer is yes, thanks to our patented innovation.
Rebottling takes place under an inert atmosphere, with an oxygen level maintained below 5 ppm. In addition, there is micron filtration and precise control of temperature and pressure during the operation. The nose, color, and mouthfeel structure thus remain faithful to those of the original bottle, for several months.
Vinovae is the sole holder of this patented process. You thus offer the brands you represent a guarantee of quality they will find nowhere else, and your retailers a tasting faithful to the product they will sell.
A profitable and responsible solution, without compromising on quality
Our Vinottes® allow you to let more people taste with fewer bottles: more retailers reached, more listings secured, and partner brands reassured about their sampling expenses.
