Casillero del Diablo , recognized as the second most powerful wine brand in the world (source: Wine Intelligence Report,) is the number one wine brand in Mexico, and the leading import brand in the USA. The Chilean brand is sold in more than 100 counties across the world, and its wines have received more than 109 scores of 90 points and above in recent years. With a reputation as a global standard-bearer for quality that dates to the release of the brand’s first wine in 1966, Casillero del Diablo will increase its brand awareness through this wide-ranging partnership with a combination of high visibility in-venue signage and fan experiences, which includes the development of limited-edition branded wine bottles. The brand will also showcase a suite of innovative, sensory-focused activations that will build momentum and relevance for the brand across the Mexican National Teams’ fanbase in the USA.
