Barefoot, the #1 wine brand in UK Grocery[1], is continuing to bring a sense of fun to the wine category with the launch of a new TV advertising campaign. Airing from June until the end of August, Let’s get Barefoot celebrates the informal every-day moments that can be enjoyed with Barefoot, whether it’s a birthday celebration, a board game or even a gift ahead of date-night.
The advert, which champions Barefoot’s best-selling flagship wines – Barefoot Pinot Grigio, the UK’s most popular Pinot Grigio with sales up by 29% in the past 12 months[2], Barefoot White Zinfandel, the top-selling White Zinfandel and the biggest contributor to growth within the rosé category[3], and Barefoot Merlot, the UK’s #1 Merlot, which has grown by 33% in the past year [4], will appear across TV Video on Demand channels in the UK including Channel 4, ITV and Sky TV, and aims to reach more than 5 million viewers.
Let’s get Barefoot positions Barefoot as the perfect choice for those who enjoy great-tasting wine with friends and family, in a fun relaxed and informal way. Featuring the bright colours that have become synonymous with the brand, the eye-catching advert will resonate with both younger and older consumers.
