The official wine of the 21st Annual Latin GRAMMY Awards, Frontera is expanding its reach with Latin music fans while continuing to creatively explore the intersection of wine and music through this latest activation. Earlier this year, Frontera announced a groundbreaking collaboration with music streaming service Spotify, which pairs genre-specific playlists with each of four different wine styles in the Frontera portfolio. Rounding out the brand's compelling music and wine campaign is the #FronteraMusicStage sweepstakes launching in January 2021-which will award $500 gift cards to 40 lucky winners, totaling $20,000 in prizes-for use at a future time when live music venues can re-open safely.
This all comes as Frontera prepares to launch its new 3-liter bag-in-box (BIB) format, which expands the way fans can experience the #1 South American popular-priced import brand in the U.S.2
"The wine and music connection continues to be an integral piece of Frontera's consumer engagement, and we're thrilled to partner with the Latin GRAMMY Awards to bring live music to fans around the world at a time when in-person concerts are on hold," said Wayland Boyd, Senior
Brand Manager for Frontera in the U.S. "This comes amidst exciting growth for the brand, as we're poised to unveil three boxed wine offerings in a packaging innovation that makes it easier than ever to enjoy Frontera wines."
Frontera - America's #1 Chilean large-format wine brand3 - is introducing its 3-liter BIB Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot blend and Cabernet Sauvignon at a time of skyrocketing growth for the boxed wine category4. Frontera's eco-friendly, convenient packaging keeps wine fresh for up to 30 days after opening, giving Frontera fans more ways to savor some of America's most coveted varietals. Frontera's on-trend offerings align with market momentum in the 3L BIB segment: Sauvignon Blanc leads category growth5, Cabernet Sauvignon maintains a commanding market share in the category6, and red blends are growing faster than any other red varietal in the category7.
Frontera's packaging innovation dovetails with its industry-leading focus on music at a time when consumers are yearning for new ways to experience wine and music at home. Through creative executions with music's major players, including the Latin GRAMMY Awards and Spotify, Frontera is building on findings by Oxford University researchers that suggest listening to music can enhance the sensory experience of tasting wine8.
Enter for a chance to win a gift card at the #FronteraMusicStage sweepstakes on Instagram in January 2021, pair your favorite Frontera varietals with a curated playlist on Spotify, and tune in tonight at 6 PM ET for Frontera's live-streaming acoustic concert with Raquel Sofía.
