New Trivento campaign drives nation’s No.1 Malbec brand

New Trivento campaign drives nation’s No.1 Malbec brand

Trivento, the leading Argentinean wine brand, has rolled out a wide-reaching campaign in support of its growing range of Malbec-based wines. “Discover your Trivento” is a multi-channel push, using 500 digital and static out-of-home sites nationwide, allied to a digital and social campaign, and over 1.6 million stickered bottles across the Trivento Reserve range in stores across the country.

At the heart of the new campaign is the “Discover your Trivento” mechanic: Wine shoppers can, by answering a few simple questions, find out which Trivento wine is best suited to their palates.


After less than a month of activity, the dedicated website discovertrivento.com had received over 140,000 visits from shoppers clicking on the QR code featured on all materials both digital, print and instore.

Trivento was founded in 1996 in Mendoza, but its UK story really started in 2013 when the first shipments of its Reserve Malbec began to be seen on UK shelves.

A decade later and Trivento has collected many "firsts" - it is now the UK's no.1 Argentinean wine brand, number one Argentinean wine brand worldwide and Trivento Reserve Malbec is not only the number one Malbec, but is the nation’s number one wine in this market.

Over the past few years, the winery has successfully introduced higher tiers in the form of Private Reserve Malbec (growing at +60per cent yoy) and Golden Reserve Malbec.

In recent innovations of the Malbec category, Trivento recently introduced a White Malbec – a white wine made from red grapes – which has also sold well and continues to pick up further listings, and also launched Trivento Malbec Rosé in 2020 which has seen double digit growth ever since.

“This is such an exciting time for the brand, as we build awareness of the other wines in the range beyond Trivento Reserve Malbec, which is the nation’s number one wine," said Heather Jones, Senior Brand Manager at Trivento. "We want people to find the wine that suits them best, whether it’s White Malbec, Malbec rosé, or one of the more premium reds.

”We continue to see fabulous growth in our premium Private Reserve (+60 per cent val yoy) and Golden Reserve (+19 per cent yoy) which proves wine shoppers are happy to pay more when they know they will get a superior quality wine. It’s the ‘good, better, best’ mantra in action.”

In 2021 Malbec overtook Shiraz and Merlot to become the largest red grape variety in the UK market, worth 14.9 per cent of red wine value sales, and is growing its share each month.

Swizzels limited-edition Valentine’s Day treat

Sweet maker Swizzels has unveiled a brand-new limited-edition product in time for Valentine’s Day, combining two of its most-loved brands into one treat: Squashies Love Hearts.

Offering a fresh twist on two popular classics, the new Squashies Love Hearts combine Squashies’ signature soft texture with the iconic and timeless messages of Love Hearts.

Squashies remain the No. 1 sugar confectionery brand in the market, while Love Hearts see consistent growth, with 950,000 units sold during the Valentine’s period and a 10 per cent year-on-year growth in brand value. Building on this success, Swizzels has combined the two household names to create a fast-moving and profitable addition to any retailer’s offering.

Available in 120g bags and sold in cases of 12, each foam sweet is embossed with a fun message or emoji, making them ideal for sharing with a loved one. Messages include "KISS", "WOW", "FAB", and "LOVE", alongside two cheerful and romantic emojis, adding a playful touch.

With an MRSP of £1.15, the new product retains the classic colours and flavours of traditional Love Hearts, including Pineapple, Lime, Blackcurrant, Lemon, Cherry, and Orange.

Swizzels’ Love Hearts range remains a Valentine’s Day favourite, led by the popular 39g Giant Love Hearts rolls, which outsell any other Valentine’s SKU with 621,000 units sold during the season.



Other fan-favourites from the range include Love Hearts Originals Hanging Bags, the 15g mini Love Hearts rolls and Giant Love Hearts multipacks.

“We’re excited to introduce a delicious and innovative new product that combines two of our most popular brands, delivering the same moreish flavours and signature texture - with an added twist," said trade marketing manager Clare Newton.
