Introduction & Context

Portugal is renowned for its rich viticulture and winemaking heritage, which is marked by unique grape varieties and centuries-old traditions (Silva et al., 2018). Portuguese wine companies have recently undergone significant transformations driven by the digital era (Ribeiro, 2023). Globally, the wine industry increasingly leverages digital tools such as e-commerce, social media, and data analytics to enhance marketing, sales, and customer engagement (Amarendra & Das, 2022). Hyper-personalisation, aiming to tailor experiences to individual consumer preferences, represents a critical advancement in this digital shift (Bika, 2021). However, the transition to hyper-personalisation is complex due to the abundance of underutilized data, and our research seeks to address these challenges by exploring practical ways to leverage data for creating tailored digital experiences.

Digital Landscape

An audit of Portuguese wine producers reveals a varied digital presence. Out of 1,242 producers:

  • 54% have no digital presence.
  • 5% have non-operational websites.
  • 1% under development.
  • 1% use third-party platforms.
  • 26% have static or institutional websites.
  • 13% fully operational ‘Online Store’.

research Purpose

Our research aims to provide insights and recommendations for Portuguese wine companies to effectively utilise data for hyper-personalisation, enhancing their digital marketing efforts and overall customer experience.
