What if.......? What if every bottle of wine that you made was connected to the internet? The Internet of Things (IoT) is here, 5G is here. What if you could track each individual bottle each step of the way to your customer? Complete provenance.... What if every bottle of wine that you made had a path to purchase built into it? One smart phone tap = repurchase from anywhere in the world. What if there was a path of communication on every bottle of wine that you made back to the winery? What if you could easily do this today? Guess what? YOU CAN!! Check out the latest cloud and mobile based technology that we apply to each bottle we touch at Gliding Eagle... Demo: https://lnkd.in/gQTS25t Paper back labels were great at telling brand stories in 1976 (and yes, we realize that there is a legal requirement to have them). Today your wine bottle MUST have a seamless link to the internet. Then, the world is your oyster! What would you do if you could connect your wine bottles to the internet? #cloud #iot #5g #brand #technology #internetofthings #communication #wine #dtc #international #glidingeagleinc #branding #ecommerce

Wine consumers around the world are indeed switching to online sales. During the past 3 months, we have seen Intl DTC wine orders posting over 30% YoY growth, in line with the US domestic DTC growth during COVID. The wine industry has lost it's main point of customer acquisition with tasting room visitation down as much as 60%. Transitioning to online international sales is essential to survive and thrive in the current environment. #international #DTC #wine #ecommerce #glidingeagle #forbes https://www.forbes.com//direct-to-consumer-wine-shipments/

Did you know that more consumers are now buying wine online around the world? Comparing 2020 with 2017, in USA 25% vs 14%, in China 52% vs 41%. eagl.co/wine #international #DTC #wine #vinitrac #glidingeagle

Hooray!!! $6 Million Mark Reached!!! Thank you Wine Industry Network for releasing the press for us! Full article is available here: http://wineindustrynetwork.com/supp/gliding-eagle-inc.html... Gliding Eagle Inc. Passes $6 Million in DTC Wine Exports Gliding Eagle Inc. sent it's first commercial shipment to China on September 9th, 2015 after many trial shipments and extensive channel testing. At the time, the company was only shipping to China and Hong Kong. Since that time they have expanded to 33 destinations for over 130 wineries throughout the United States. Tens of thousands of bottles of wines have been successfully exported to recipients around the globe and each individual bottle has been tracked through each step of the logistical process from the winery to the consumer. The company expects to see continued export value of ~$250,000 per month moving forward. Gliding Eagle's partner wineries can access the Eagle View data dashboard to see each customer, order, box and bottle - all hosted on IBM's Global Cloud servers around the world. Anyone holding a bottle of wine shipped by Gliding Eagle Inc. can use their smartphone to scan the holographic anti-counterfeit label applied to the bottle over the foil to see the journey from the winery to their hands. The brand and product info including bottle shots are also displayed in their native language. 1-2 websites are built for each bottle of wine shipped and the data is hosted into perpetuity. The company continues to help develop International DTC channels for its winery partners and expects large growth opportunities in international wine clubs, international eCommerce as well as overseas corporate gifting. Gliding Eagle continues to develop a massive amount of data surrounding International DTC wine sales and logistics. The company has received recognition from the U.S. Congress and U.S. Department of Commerce for its continued work of helping U.S. companies with exports.
