Carmenere Captivates in a Three-month Educational Promotion Launching this Black Friday

Carmenere Day is celebrated each year on November 24 by wine lovers around the world to commemorate the rediscovery in 1994 of the carmenere grape variety in Chile. This year on Carmenere Day, Wines of Chile USA announces the launch of a four-month promotion with Snooth Media. The “Captivating Carmenere” program, set to run online offering a range of experiential touchpoints for wine consumers, members of the wine trade and journalists to learn about the history and quality of this captivating grape variety.

Activities include virtual winemaker-led tastings open to all; a Masterclass for select journalists; and a suite of digital communications via Snooth Media and Wines of Chile digital and social media channels, including an educational microsite. The three-month promotion leverages the increasing power of digital media to reach wine consumers where they are and with the wine content they crave.

“Chilean Carmenere brings both a fascinating story and captivating wine to the table,” reports Mark Angelillo, Snooth co-founder and chief taster. “The grape’s savory fruit flavors are suited to a range of palates. Those who seek a high quality-to-price ratio whether dining out, shopping online or at a favorite local retailer will find a perfect fit with Carmenere.”

Wine is a great gift to give and receive. Wine lovers will love discovering the incredible story behind Carmenere and they’ll enjoy sharing a delicious bottle with friends and family throughout the holidays.”
