DOWIE DOOLE launches ‘Mobile Wine Experience’ for Chenin Blanc

Wednesday, September 8, 2010

DOWIE DOOLE has made an innovative breakthrough in technology and wine, with the launch of the 2010 Chenin Blanc “mobile wine experience”, the first of its kind in Australia.

The concept involves a unique barcode being placed, in the form of a neck tag, on a bottle of DOWIE DOOLE Chenin Blanc. Consumers use an “app” called Tag Reader on their mobile phone which enables their inbuilt phone camera to scan the barcode which automatically takes them to a ‘mobile website’.  The DOWIE DOOLE Chenin Blanc mobile website features interesting tasting notes, a link to a YouTube video, a food recipe to match the wine and a precis of the wine's awards and accolades.

The Tag Reader “app” is free and can be downloaded and used with most 3G mobile phones that have a camera.  It allows consumers to get instant and fascinating information on the product they are purchasing.  This concept is well advanced in countries such as Japan and Korea however there has been little use of it with wine as the product.  In Australia, the concept is still very new, so DOWIE DOOLE is extremely excited to announce the arrival of the Chenin Blanc “Mobile Wine Experience.”

Leigh Gilligan, General Manager states, “in the current climate it is important to continue to be innovative and stay ahead of the game.  With the launch of the Mobile Wine Experience with our best known wine, the DOWIE DOOLE Chenin Blanc, we are showing our customers that we are evolving as a company and doing our best to meet consumer demands.”

“This new concept has huge potential to help educate consumers. A few wineries overseas are already using the concept but in a more limited form than ours, so it is only a matter of time before Australia embraces it.”
