Gonzalo Yañez, CEO of Moondesk, “Alcoholic beverage labeling has become a growing concern for companies, consumers and governments around the world. With the introduction of the new European Labeling Regulation for alcoholic beverages, companies in that sector are now obliged to provide even more detailed information, and not only in terms of ingredients and nutritional values Many companies, especially wineries that sell their products in that region, are experiencing moments of uncertainty since they do not know what to do, what requirements must be met, what risks exist in the process, how and when to do it. This is where we collaborate with MoonDesk, a technology company specialized in helping companies order their labeling processes and comply with regulations effectively. Through our platform, processes can be optimized, errors avoided, and manual and repetitive tasks automated, allowing wineries to focus on what really matters: adding value to their consumers.”
The last block, Manuel Martínez Rada, CEO of Onvinum (Spain) presents “a professional platform that connects wineries and buyers exclusively in the wine sector. Currently the platform has more than 600 wineries and almost 1,000 active importers or distributors on the platform. The platform is free for wineries and allows them to access importers from 79 different countries. At the same time, importers and distributors can create their own portfolios based on the products they buy from producers to present to retailers in their region, free of charge as well. Onvinum has premium options for users to position their wines and have greater visibility.”
