Message ON the Bottle with Labeltronix. Wine consumer trends are indicating that brand loyalty is down, and consumers want wine “their way”. Labeltronix introduces a new solution that gives wineries the best of both worlds for labeling—the ability to create outstanding award-winning labels for their brand, with the flexibility to personalize or customize each label with custom messaging. Called “Message ON the Bottle™,” this breakthrough allows wineries to retain the integrity of their brands with embellishments like foil and embossing on labels with exact brand color matching, while offering the unique messaging that consumers want. This is a new and powerful way to help wineries build tasting room traffic, enhance the tasting room experience and build their wine club membership. This special, wine label personalization, also impresses and stimulates social media followers and influencers.

About the Direct to Consumer Wine Symposium
The DTC Wine Symposium is presented by and a fundraiser for Free the Grapes! Now in its 13th year, the summit on DTC sales and marketing has raised more than $1.2 million for Free the Grapes’ PR campaign, and the Coalition for Free Trade’s legal work (The CFT “retired” in 2014 after achieving its goals). These two groups have worked closely with industry lobbyists and regional associations to streamline onerous regulations and to increase the number of legal wine shipping states from 17 to 45, which represent 95% of the US population. The DTC Wine Symposium is the primary fundraiser for Free the Grapes!, providing funds for its campaign to engage wine lovers and the media in its support of consumer choice using legal, regulated direct-to-consumer wine shipping.
