How does Anto’s daily routine influence his passion for CLINQ ZERO?
Welcome. Welcome to the best five-minute wine podcast with Forrest Kelly.
So in a in your day to day life, you get up at uh what time do you get up in the morning?
Uh I I I have a fifteen month old baby. So I will say that's whenever he wants to g to to to get up, so he's the boss of the house. But ultimately he's a very good kid, so uh lately I woke up uh before him I woke up around seven seven ten.
Okay, so you get up in the morning, very early in the morning, all day long. How many times are you approaching complete strangers and telling them about Clink Zero dot com? Oh like
Multiple times a day. But you know, you know, in full disclosure, like uh first of all, like this is a new lifestyle for me because I've been over twenty years in the corporate world. And also there I was uh very much in front of customer uh buyer all the time.
Why does Anto love talking to strangers about the brand and what feedback does he get?
I think that the big difference is that uh when you talk about something you really believe in and you are passionate, it's almost fun. It's not even I love that. I love the talking with stranger and uh get the feedback and see if there is excitement and I love challenge when somebody tells me, Hey, I don't like sparkling wine I says hey we try sparkling wine. So I would say this happening multiple times a day.
You got your suppliers and then you take yours side by side. Is there a difference? Oh yeah.
Yeah, there is uh it's a big topic here, but uh the the main difference I will say that there is is that uh one is the fact that uh some of the supplier, since uh you remove a lot of the flavor, uh you need to compensate with a lot of sugar. And so you feel sometimes this kind of like artificial taste or very sugary taste in your mouth. And uh I think that's the most part. So I will say that that uh obviously the
What sets CLINQ ZERO’s ingredient list apart from other non‑alcoholic sparkling wines?
The flavor. We wanna strive to be to have a fantastic flavor, but I will say that uh we wanna also be the one that uh has a very ingredient list that is easy to understand, that doesn't contain anything that you should be not happy to to drink.
If Clink Zero takes off when it does take off in five years, what's a victory lap for you gonna look like?
Well, I've been thinking about that. Uh uh first of all I I think that uh the one of the reason I probably didn't share before I started this is because um I still see a big opportunity for a brand to own the category. We use this jargo. But when you think about the category, sometimes you think of one or two brands that comes to your mind. Like uh if you think about Prosetco, La Marca made a fantastic And now is the everybody knows or Mionetto, they did a fantastic job. I think for the non non-alcoholic sparking wine, there's been a lot of brand launching, but still there is an opportunity there. So for me, if you say what is success in five years, success is that if you are planning a wedding, if you're planning a baby shower, if you just uh have dinner at home, this is Clink Zero is the brand that you keep in the fridge just in case the friends
that doesn't wanna drink or cannot drink, shows up at your place.
What does success look like for CLINQ ZERO in five years – weddings, pizza nights, or both?
So like for me winning would be be the the go to brand that people grab when thinking about uh sparkling wine.
Weddings or pizza night, Plink Zero shines more and which one?
I will say the bot the the our glass bottle will shine at wedding, uh absolutely. Pizza night if a if success for me and that will be it's it's even more difficult this one, is that five years from now pizza equal park non alcoholic spark in red. And so if I can convert every single person that will instead of their soda or their beer, they will start drinking my product, they will be a fantastic victory.
The blanc, the rose or red? Which one do you reach for? I would say that
uh every day, blank, dinner and pizza, they're all the the red.
Tell me about uh when the product will be available, you think the projections.
The reason it's not available yet is because after the the first small batch that is already gone, we're finally uh commit to a large scale production. So we have our supplier and uh all the wine and the the recipe defined and we're gonna launch with a sparkling blank uh and we're gonna have production in and delivery uh late summer.
