The English Vine - Setting up an e-commerce experience
The English Vine, founded in November 2019, emerged to challenge the conventional wine industry and break down stereotypes associated with English wines. The target audience comprises 30-45-year-olds seeking exploration in wine without elitism and the 46+ demographic that values regular wine consumption. Additionally, the brand aims to appeal to those interested in buying local and embracing a higher price point for organic, vegan, or biodynamic products, with a special focus on engaging the female market.
The brief
The English Vine, a dynamic disruptor in the wine industry, sought to break free from traditional norms and revolutionise the way people experience English wines. The initial e-commerce site was a quick fix, but to fuel the next phase of growth, The English Vine needed a digital platform that resonated with its diverse audience, transcending the confines of the traditional wine industry.
The approach
As a disruptor brand, The English Vine needed a dynamic and scalable digital platform. Our approach involved leveraging Shopify for its efficient setup, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. We focused on transforming the brand into "The no-nonsense wine company" to reflect its ethos throughout the website, ensuring a frictionless digital experience.
