With the COVID-19 pandemic severely restricting domestic and international travel, as well as events, meetings and tastings, many Australian winemakers have been struggling to stay connected and engaged with their distributors and their customers.<\/p>\n<p>Hosted by South Australia\u2019s Department for Trade and Investment (DTI) in partnership with Wine Communicators of Australia, the webinar series was designed to help SA winemakers overcome the challenges imposed by the pandemic and broaden their reach to a wider domestic and international marketplace. The webinars were powered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/au\/en\/office\/features\/online-meetings\/webinar.html\">RingCentral Webinar<\/a>\u2122 utilising the cloud platform\u2019s user registration, host control, presentation, speaker panel, Q&amp;A and recording features.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was the first opportunity we have had to use RingCentral for one of our webinars, and it\u2019s similar to Zoom*, however I understand the RingCentral platform has increased security,\u201d said Lynda Schenk, Executive Officer, Wine Communicators of Australia.<\/p>\n<p>In the first session, introduced by the Chief Executive of DTI Leonie Muldoon, participants were given great insights into the ideal hardware, software and cloud platforms to use for webinars, video and social media from Achieve Video Marketing, a South Australian-based company that\u2019s been running a regular \u2018SA Wine Weekly\u2019 show on social media featuring wine and food tastings with leading SA winemakers.<\/p>\n<p>The second session focused on the best content and approach to use in creating a successful virtual tasting and the nuances of presenting to international audiences, ending with a fascinating presentation on conducting virtual tastings with Chinese wine distributors.<\/p>\n<p>Some of South Australia\u2019s leading winemakers featured in the third and final webinar in the series &#8211; Oliver Budack from Maxwell Wines, Anna Fisher from Zontes Footsteps, Justine Henschke from Henschke Wines \u2013 as well as wine commentator, educator, promoter and personality Dan Sims from Revel Global, who was very vocal in encouraging winemakers to explore new ways of promoting and selling their products.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-31246 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"\/au\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/image003.jpg\" alt=\"Seventy South Australian wine producers and a panel of more than 10 experts recently took part in a three-part interactive webinar series to learn all about setting up and running virtual wine tastings. \" width=\"705\" height=\"397\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a really lively discussion with our panel of winemakers in our final webinar in the series, and incredible interaction and engagement throughout with our audience.
