British Smash Hit Thomson & Scott Skinny Prosecco and Skinny Champagne

Launch Nationwide Through Online Storefront

Hugely successful UK sparkling wine brand rolls out online shopping tool through WineDirect as
key move in U.S. expansion; Encourages greater transparency in wine and wine labeling,
challenging consumers and industry leaders to ask what's in their bottle.

Los Angeles, CA, November 15, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Thomson & Scott, creators of the world's first
Skinny Champagne and Skinny Prosecco, today announced the launch of their direct-to-consumer sales
channel through e-commerce platform WineDirect. Hot on the heels of a successful launch in Texas, this
move is part of Thomson & Scott's broader U.S. launch strategy, bringing the highly sought bottles to
consumers across the country.

Thomson & Scott's U.S. product line-up features the best-selling Skinny Prosecco, which boasts half the
sugar of a traditional Prosecco, is made from 100% organic grapes and is vegan certified; as well as a
low-sugar Extra Brut Champagne and Extra Brut Rosé Champagne. A no added sugar Grand Cru
Champagne will roll out in 2019, along with a sparkling rosé in a mini single-serve can.

Skinny Prosecco instantly became the best-selling wine in top UK retailer Selfridges and sold out in its
first three weeks. The company expects Americans to receive the brand with the same enthusiasm.

Thomson is leading the transparency in wine movement globally, having created a company that is
pushing for more truthful ingredient labeling. By example, Thomson & Scott produces top quality
Champagne and Prosecco with as little intervention and added sugar as possible in the production
process, and highlights its vegan and organic credentials. Currently, the wine industry doesn't have to say
what goes into making the products consumers drink.

In an effort to be the first sparkling wine company to also put a focus on wine packaging and its harmful
impact on the environment, Thomson & Scott's deliveries are all made with eco-friendly packaging.

“I could not be more excited for this U.S. expansion,” said Thomson. “Americans are smart, savvy
consumers, so our mission of increasing transparency in wine and wine labeling will no doubt resonate
with them. We all demand to know what's in our food. It's time we start asking what's in our bottle.”

WineDirect is one of the few eCommerce solutions in the industry to also offer fulfillment and marketing
capabilities, providing what they call an “end-to-end” platform for direct-to-consumer sales. Given
Thomson & Scott's popularity with young, forward-thinking, millennial consumers, a strong DTC sales
channel was a key part of their U.S. launch strategy.

“The wine industry is quickly evolving and the growth of direct-to-consumer sales channels is an exciting

element of this continued innovation,” said Devin Parr, wine and marketing expert and U.S. Brand
Ambassador for Thomson & Scott. “Being able to purchase our favorite brands online is not only
convenient, it's essential in today's world. I'm looking forward to introducing Thomson & Scott to even
more consumers all over the country now through WineDirect's smart platform.”

Through this latest move, Thomson & Scott will be available through either traditional or online channels
in nearly 20 U.S. markets, including Arizona, California, Washington, DC, Florida, Idaho, Kansas,
Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas and Wyoming, with more coming online soon. Consumers can visit

About Thomson & Scott

Thomson & Scott took the U.K. by storm in 2016 when it demanded that consumers should know exactly
what was in their wine bottle. They launched Thomson & Scott Skinny Prosecco, which boasted less than
half the sugar of traditional prosecco, was made from 100 percent organic grapes and was vegan certified.
The company's first product was a no added sugar Grand Cru Champagne that it launched in 2013.
Thomson & Scott Skinny Champagne was a huge hit with consumers looking to drink delicious bubbles
but cut all the unnecessary sugar from the production process. Skinny Prosecco instantly became the
best-selling wine in Selfridges.
