Riboli Wines’ Jenna Steele on Reinventing Wine for the Digital Consumer


Listen Later

In this episode of BRAVE COMMERCE, Rachel Tipograph and Sarah Hofstetter speak with Jenna Steele, Vice President of E-commerce and Digital at Riboli Wines. Jenna shares how she is leading transformation in a category rooted in tradition, from building a tech-forward e-commerce function to using digital shelf insights to engage a new generation of wine drinkers.


She discusses how consumer confusion, generational preferences, and emerging wellness trends are reshaping the Alcohol landscape, and why she believes wine is poised for a major comeback. Jenna also outlines the tech stack powering her team, the role of retail media in attracting new customers, and how strong partnerships fuel innovation in a highly regulated category.


Key takeaways:

  • Wine’s comeback depends on reducing consumer friction and repositioning it as approachable and wellness-aligned
  • Tech stacks that integrate AI, digital shelf analytics, and compliant path-to-purchase tools are essential to modernizing Alcohol e-commerce
  • Family-owned businesses can drive agile innovation by staying laser-focused on the consumer instead of Wall Street
