The Role of Wine Portfolios
Portfolios, in their various forms — print, PDFs, Excel sheets, and websites — are essential to the wine profession.
They fulfill important functions such as:
- A catalog of wines on offer — also reflecting the company's personality
- A marketing channel — often one of the first and most used points of contact
Portfolios typically include information such as:
- Wine label and producer name
- Origin — country and hopefully region, appellation, etc.
- Price
Anything more is appreciated, but not always provided.
Portfolios are typically delivered through:
- Phone/Text — direct request of information
- In Person — handing a printed version to someone
- Email — manually sent a PDF or Excel sheet
- Website — customers login to access the portfolio
Managing portfolios is challenging, considering time constraints, traffic, staffing issues, global time zones, scheduling, and the need for constant updates.
Portfolios often lack comprehensive information, calling for further research through producer websites, internet searches, books, experience, and asking your peers.
Now imagine this process for all customers, suppliers, and employees involved.
