It is thought that Millennials drink more wine that any previous generation, and because of this they deserve more from the wine industry. As the wine industry hasn’t changed essential for hundreds of years, there is a mountain of opportunities to integrate the latest technology into this sector. In the UK it is thought that £11 billion was spent annually on wine, but only 10% of these transactions occurred online, this is below the 27% of transitions seen in the wider retail industry. The purpose of sipp is to give millennials the wine experience that the want, which is great wines at a great prices and access to the information that can bring the beverage to live with the app.
