On Friday 11th October, COO Richard Halstead led a presentation on millennials and wine in the UK market. Richard discussed questions such as “How is “moderation Britain” behaving when it comes to the wine category?” and “What is the relationship between younger adults (18-35) and wine?”. Most importantly, Richard explored what these changing behaviours means for the wine category in the years to come.

On Wednesday 11th September, CEO Lulie Halstead and Country Manager for Brazil Rodrigo Lanari were invited to present at Wines of Argentina’s latest workshop. The topic of the event was global trends in wine, with a particular focus on the US and Brazil.

There was an attentive audience of over 100 guests, and Lulie and Rodrigo both left the event feeling  positive about the growing interest and engagement of industry members that they spoke to during their visit. Despite the current political and economical confusion in the country at present, there is a clear opportunity for Argentinian wine to infiltrate international markets.
