Q

How do you expect the digital world will continue to integrate into the wine industry in the future?

J. Saunders:

"The digital world will continue to make wine more accessible to the everyday consumer. Whether at a store in the wine aisle or eating in a restaurant, consumers are empowered to look up information from their mobile devices anywhere. For the wine industry this presents exciting new opportunities across a number of fronts including personalized engagement with consumers at point of purchase and having access to better data on consumer and retailer behaviors."

Q

How do you think technology will affect consumer products moving forward?

J. Saunders:

"Technology enables consumers to be more knowledgeable about what they are buying. Whether that's product information or reviews, there's a lot of data out in cyberspace and it can't always be controlled anymore by CPG brands. However, it provides brands the ability to tell their story and disseminate information in ways not available previously, making it easier for the lesser-known brands to reach consumers with interesting content."
