Wine lover and foodie CMO to a global scaleup

Interesting numbers for a growth hungry CMO

99% of consumers do not know how to match food with wine. 74% of consumers drink wine with their food and 72% of them are willing to pay more if they knew that the wine matched their food. The challenge is that 99% of restaurant employees do not know how to match the dishes on their menu with the right wine on their menu. Therefore, many restaurants are missing out on the opportunity of offering guests the food and wine experience they are worth and willing to pay for.

With our user-friendly app, we at Wineally have found the solution to find the best wine and food matches for both the guests and serving staff. With our underlying digital ecosystem, we will help wine producers, wine merchants, hotels, restaurants and cafes build financially sustainable businesses. In short, we have created a way that will revolutionize the wine industry and give consumers fantastic taste experiences.
