Start by focusing on your best existing customers or your ideal imagined partners: independent wine importers, regional distributors, boutique wine shops, and restaurants favoring sustainable, story-driven wines. Here is why These are the buyers most likely to connect with your family-driven values and unique origin, making it easier to open conversations and build trust. To find more companies similar to your ideal buyers, use Leadsforge — simply input details of your best clients and build a tailored list of lookalikes to approach next.

For new prospecting ideas, identify followers of competitors or similar brands in the beverage and wine space. This lets you tap into audiences already interested in wines like yours. Here is why Fans of competing or complementary wineries are much more likely to engage with your story and sample offers. Provide Leadsforge with a LinkedIn competitor page or company name and website, and it will handle the rest. Share their LinkedIn company page link in Leadsforge and it will find it for you.

Segment your outreach lists by: 1) Distributors & importers (by size, country) 2) Restaurants, wine bars, and hotels (split by fine dining and casual) 3) Retail/independent wine shops 4) Corporate/event gifting buyers Here is why Targeted segmentation lets you tailor your messaging to what each group cares about most, making it more likely they'll engage with your offer and book a tasting.

Build your lists for each vertical — for example: 1) Specialty wine importers in the UK and Germany 2) Michelin-star or well-rated bistros in France and Benelux 3) Buyer contacts at boutique wine shops and natural wine retailers 4) Corporate gifting/event planners around holiday or award seasons Here is why Approaching each sector with relevant timing and messaging increases your response rates and helps spread the word within networks that matter most.
