Luke Hemsley’s Post

🚗 Almost 1,000 miles, 40+ visits and more podcasts than you can shake a stick at*. 🛣️ Having spent the lion's share of the last two weeks on the road visiting existing and prospective customers, I've come away more energised and up for the fight than ever. 🍷 Friends will often say "it must be amazing seeing your product on shelves" and whilst that's true, I would much rather see an empty space where our product once was...! 🎬 Getting our wines onto shelves and into wine lists is half the battle, but it really is only the beginning. 📚 Educating teams on your product, inspiring them to tell stories on your behalf and infusing them with the understanding of why your wines are different is a mammoth task. 🗣️ And that assumes you have people to do that for you, it's even harder when you're one of hundreds, if not thousands of products on-shelf, and you have a second or two to grab someone's attention, engage them in your offering and compel them to purchase. 💡 Lots of learnings, lots to do, but all fuel on our mission to provide our customers with better options at certain moments, drinking or not. *podcasts regularly gave way to obligatory Funk & Soul playlists, but I honestly feel like I've spent a week in the car with Dan Pope and his various guests Olivia Ferdi Juliet Barratt Aaron Duffett Spencer Matthews

You absolute legend!! That's made my week. We glugged back copious amounts of your vino at our supper club last year with Copy Club. INSANE product
