The sparkler Freixenet snagged a Comeback Award for its growing sales after a temporary decline in 2013. The brand sold 590,000 cases in 2016 for a 5.4% increase over 2015 — and Millennials are partly why. Freixenet focused on Millennials "throughout all our programs," explains Jane Scott, Freixenet USA VP of marketing for imports. "We have invested behind social media and also experiential events." Millennials love customizable products. Freixenet's matte black bottle allows consumers to write on it with chalk. This black bottle also lends itself well to Halloween, "Millennials' favorite holiday," Scott says. To encourage this association, the brand offered sticker VAP in 2016 that allowed consumers to "costumize" their bottles. This generation also enjoys experimenting across brands, varietals and countries — but at val- ue-driven price points. They're both adventurous and price-conscious.
