Wine Competition Consultancy
How many people have ever set up a wine competition? A handful? Not many. Now how many of those did it from outside their target industry, without a decent contact book at that time, or even a sensible budget? Nobody, that sounds a ridiculously bad idea.
No, wait - there is one! In 2016 Alex founded the Independent English Wine Awards, an indie, consumer focused wine competition aimed at awarding, promoting and celebrating the very best of English wine. In year four now, growth has been really healthy and interest in the movement, and support from producers remains thrillingly high. And so much has been learned! If you'd like to tap into this and discuss how this insight might be applied to your project - be it a food and drink competition, or similar - then please get it touch.
