Moët Hennessy USA, Amazon Create Champagne “Skill” for Alexa

NEWS RELEASE (with over-the-top giddy and self-aggrandizing language deleted)

Dec. 1, 2017

 

Moët Hennessy USA, and Amazon’s Alexa now offer consumers the ability to learn about champagne

 

Bottles and Bubbles will leverage the voice technology of Alexa to help everyday consumers become champagne connoisseurs in their own homes. Through its tips and educational lessons, which range from recommended champagne pairings, moments to celebrate, and how to pronounce Moët Hennessy champagnes.

By enabling the skill and then saying, “Alexa, open Bottles and Bubbles” to their Alexa-enabled device, consumers can engage with six areas of conversational and educational content, including: Champagne 101, which provides champagne basics and information about Moët Hennessy brands; a calendar of notable dates, that can be celebrated with a glass of champagne; and suggestions and services to elevate any social gathering, such as recommended food and champagne pairings, hosting tips, champagne-inspired playlists and ambient sounds for a perfect champagne moment.

 

To engage with Moët Hennessy’s Bottles and Bubbles skill for Amazon Alexa, users must enable the skill through the Alexa app or on Amazon’s website. Once enabled, users can interact with the skill through their Alexa-enabled device at any time. This skill is currently only available in the United States.
