19/01/2024 Neo-Prohibitonist forces are at work, spreading incomplete and often misleading information. The wine industry needs to push back, advocating for the positive attributes of wine while encouraging moderate consumption.

The discussion will feature Gino Colangelo, President of Colangelo & Partners. The talk will be moderated by Sid Patel, CEO of Beverage Trade Network. In this talk, Gino will share key findings of current research (commissioned by his agency in partnership with Wine Opinions) on consumers' attitudes toward health and wine.  He will also discuss potential responses by the wine industry to the Neo-Prohibitionist challenge as well as the overall competitive challenges -- and opportunities -- facing the wine industry.

When: February 6, 2024, 11 am to 12 pm EST 

Where: Zoom Link (Online)
