Using overly corporate language instead of the personal tone craft consumers expect

Not showing member savings on club shipments

Promoting events without limited-seating urgency

Personalization Tips

Wine, beer, and spirits are products built on story, craft, and community. Your emails should reflect that same attention to detail. From the release announcement that tells the story behind the bottle to the club shipment that makes members feel like valued insiders, every email is an opportunity to deepen the relationship between your brand and its fans.

These templates cover the four essential email touchpoints for beverage producers. The new release announcement builds anticipation with tasting notes, pairing suggestions, and limited-quantity urgency. The club member exclusive reinforces the value of membership with early access and visible savings. The tasting event invitation fills your venue by combining compelling descriptions with scarcity. And the order confirmation delivers a premium experience from the moment of purchase.

The key to great winery and brewery emails is voice. Your subscribers don't want corporate marketing — they want to hear from the people who make what they love. These templates are structured to let your personality shine through while maintaining the professionalism that drives purchases and event attendance.
