Description

Is premiumisation still a smart strategy — or just another name for inflation?


In this week’s Wine Marketer’s Radar, we explore the fine line between value and overpricing, plus two major antitrust cases that could change how wine brands advertise and connect with customers online.


What we cover:




  • The U.S. ruling against Google’s ad monopoly — and what a potential breakup could mean for small brands




  • Meta’s high-stakes trial over Instagram and WhatsApp — and why your reliance on Instagram deserves a re-think




  • Gareth Turner’s brilliant breakdown of premiumisation vs alienation — and why we’re seeing brand inflation, not differentiation
