In comparison to other canned wines, Babe wines are a good price. While not as cheap as beer or spiked seltzer, Babe is sold for a reasonable price. Bev wines, another canned wine brand, are significantly more expensive than Babe wines, although Babe does not claim that their wine is low in sugar or has no additives like Bev.
Pros:
Babe wines are very popular. They are one of the most well known and award-winning canned wine brands and are sold in easily accessible stores like grocery stores. Their spread featuring Emily Ratajkowski was featured in People Magazine. Babe has much more brand recognition than most canned wines currently on the market. Their use of celebrities and influencers to promote their product was a smart move and contributed to their success as a brand. Using social media and the internet to rebrand wine was a genius move on their part.
Babe's website shows that the brand is all about having fun. Their clever copy and fun graphics give the customer the impression that they are buying a cool product. Their marketing is spot on for their target demographic. The name is also more recognizable and marketable than competitors. Their Instagram page is full of wine-related memes and relatable gifs that make the brand accessible to people in their 20's and 30's. The brand's Instagram bio literally read, "because wine needed a rebrand," and they took full advantage of this concept. Babe upgraded wine from a "mom drink" to something easily drinkable for younger people and a much cooler sounding drink.
Babe's cans of wine contain more wine and higher alcohol content for a better price than other canned wine brands. At 12% ABV, they match most bottled wines and have a higher alcohol content than beer or spiked seltzer. Each can of Babe contains two servings of wine.
Babe wines were one of the first brands to make canned wines. Canned wine is easy to transport and convenient to drink, unlike traditional glass bottles that require a bottle opener and glasses. The individual servings and easily transported cans made Babe a hugely successful company.
Cons:
Babe wines are only sold in stores in the United States, the UK and Canada. They can only ship to 34 out of 50 states because of California laws and do not ship internationally.
There aren't a lot of flavor choices of Babe wines. The three choices are Pinot Grigio, Red, and Rose, which are all sparkling wines.
Babe wines are not kosher or gluten-free certified. While they don't contain gluten products, the plant where they are made is not gluten-free certified. Babe Grigio and Rose are also not vegan, but Babe Red is.
Babe contains more sugar and calories than some other canned wine brands. Their nutrition facts are not as poor as some bottled wines, but they do have more calories than most light beers and spiked seltzers, which would be their main competitors.
IDEAL CUSTOMER
Babe's target demographic is definitely younger women. The name alone suggests they want women who say the word babe to identify with their brand. Their ambassadors tend to be younger women as well, including model Emily Ratajkowski and contestants from popular reality television shows.

There isn't any specific information about what Babe's packaging is made out of on their website. Wines come in eight packs, twelve-packs, and twenty-four packs that appear to be made of cardboard. There's no reason to believe that their cans are not recyclable, like most cans. The design of their cans is very simple, each simply saying Babe and whichever flavor they are in a bold font. The cans are white, and the writing is either, blue, dark blue, or red depending on the flavor. Although their marketing tends to be splashier and brighter, keeping the cans simple contributes to the balance that made Babe a popular brand.
