Traditional Wine Advertising

Excessive Consumption

Many wine advertisements glamorize the idea of drinking large amounts of wine, often portraying it as a sign of sophistication or a necessary component of a good time. This can contribute to unhealthy drinking habits and normalize excessive alcohol consumption.

Wine advertisements often target women, particularly middle-aged women, with the stereotype of the "wine mom." This stereotype suggests that women, and especially mothers, need wine to cope with stress, which can trivialize the realities of alcohol dependency and mental health issues (Source). On the other hand, men are often portrayed as connoisseurs or collectors, reinforcing the idea that men should be knowledgeable about wine, while women are just consumer

This lack of representation can reinforce the idea that the wine industry is a white-dominated field.

Ageism
