Wines of Chile, an organization committed to promoting the quality and image of Chilean wine throughout the world, announces a retail partnership with Whole Foods Market, to include in-store display and promotion, team member training and education and consumer engagement that will roll out to 300+ stores nationwide in August. During the promotional period of August 24 through October 11, Whole Foods Market locations across the country will highlight an expertly curated list of nine notable wines from Chile.
The program will introduce to Whole Foods Market shoppers the exceptional quality and value of Chilean wines - a broad spectrum of varieties chosen from the vast diversity of Chile's terroirs. Whole Foods Market global wine experts Doug Bell and Devon Broglie MS, have personally selected nine SKUs - single varieties and blends - from eight different regions across 600 miles of Chile's wine country. All stores will feature these selections for the two-month program and will promote sales of Chilean wine with in-store tastings, signage and other activities. "Whole Foods Market's wine team is on a mission to provide shoppers with interesting, delicious and high quality wines, and the Chilean bottles we'll feature are a perfect example of that," said Doug Bell, Whole Foods Market's senior global coordinator of beverage. "Whether customers are familiar with the exceptional quality of Chilean wines or are just discovering the region, we're thrilled to introduce them to these bottles that highlight the artisan quality and distinctive varieties available, all for a great value."Wines of Chile is an organization committed to promoting the quality and image of Chilean wine throughout the world.
