Sherry Wine Launches Campaign to Expand U.S. Footprint
New York, New York (PRWEB) March 21, 2017 -- The Regulatory Council for Sherry Wine, the Consejo Regulador of the Dominations of Origin for Jerez-Xérès-Sherry-Manzanilla (http://www.sherry.wine), announces the launch of a new integrated communications campaign in the United States that includes events (trade and consumer), press relations and social media. Having spent the past several years establishing a solid foundation for Sherry with trade audiences, the Consejo will now focus on building awareness and educating America’s wine loving consumers about the distinctive qualities, traditions and cuisine of Sherry. Colangelo & Partners (http://www.colangelopr.com), a wine-focused public relations agency, and trade education specialists aka wine geek (http://www.akawinegeek.com), which has been instrumental in the promotion of Sherry in the US for over a decade, will partner on the new campaign.
The oldest Spanish Denomination of Origin, Sherry Wine promotes the exceptional fortified Spanish wines from the ‘Sherry Triangle’ (Jerez, El Puerto de Santa María and Sanlúcar de Barramenda) and its incredible diversity of styles. These distinctive wines are produced with indigenous grape varietals and ancient winemaking and ageing techniques, representing the rich history of Sherry.
“After years of building awareness of Sherry wine within the U.S. wine and spirits industry, we are excited to launch a new integrated communications campaign with a focus on consumers,” explained César Saldaña, Managing Director of the Consejo Regulador for the Denominations of Origin “Jerez-Xérès-Sherry” and “Manzanilla.” “This promotion comes at a time of growing appreciation for Spanish food and wine, providing us with a great opportunity to showcase the distinctive style, taste and history of Sherry wines.”
The new integrated campaign will continue successful promotions including the Sherry Cocktail Competition, which has made Sherry an integral ingredient on America’s burgeoning cocktail scene; SherryFest, a multiday celebration of Sherry for trade and consumers; and ‘Copa Jerez,’ a global culinary pairing competition. Additionally, there will be an added emphasis on press relations and expanded, consumer-focused social media.
