Nielsen survey reveals causes consumers are most passionate about
The industry has seen consumers suggest ingredients, flavors, brand names and more for new products; however, Columbia Crest is taking crowdsourcing into new territory — the vineyard, to be specific. During the next 17 months, consumers can visit crowdsourcedcabernet.com to determine how grapes are tended, irrigated, harvested and blended through weekly votes, which will result in its Crowdsourced Cabernet Sauvignon varietal. Approximately 1,000 cases of the 2014 vintage wine will be available for purchase in the United States, online and in the Columbia Crest tasting room in Paterson, Wash.
