ProWine Mumbai 2026- Promotional Short Video

Your video, made simple — a one-page guide for our winemakers

Hi, I'm Janhvi from TEPA.swiss. We're collecting a short video from each of you for ProWine Mumbai — no script, just you talking about your wine. Harvest is in full swing, so this guide is built to take two minutes to skim, not twenty. Everything you need to act on is right below.

QUICK START — this is all you actually need

Grab your phone. Landscape or portrait — both work.
Film 15–30 seconds: who you are, your winery, what makes your wine special. Speak in English, your own words, no rehearsal, one take is fine. Showing the bottle or pouring a glass helps too.
Send the file to jd@ops.tepa.swiss — subject: "ProWine Video Submission – [Your Name] – [Winery Name]".
Send it as soon as you can. Slots are limited and go in the order we receive them— early September is ideal. You'll get a confirmation once we receive it.
By sending your video, you're giving us permission to use it across the channels listed below.

Questions? Janhvi Dhavan, jd@ops.tepa.swiss — I'm your only point of contact for this.

One example, so you're not starting from a blank page:

“Hi, I'm Jean from Château Lumière in Valais. My family's made wine in this valley for four generations — our Petit Arvine grapes love the alpine slate. Every bottle carries that heritage.”

Fifteen seconds, one idea, no polish needed.

Want more to work with? Pick an angle, or blend a few

You don't need to pick just one — a strong video often blends two of these naturally.

Idea	Talk about	One-line example
The story behind the bottle	Where you're from, your history, what makes your wine special.	“My family's made wine here for four generations.”
What makes you different	Your philosophy — organic, biodynamic, heritage grapes, small-batch.	“We don't use pesticides — we work with nature.”
Why ProWine matters to you	What excites you about the Mumbai market, who you want to meet.	“India's a growing market — we're here to meet sommeliers who value small-batch quality.”

Natural things to do on camera

You don't have to just stand and talk — moving naturally through your own space makes the video feel real, not staged.

Do this while you talk	Why it works
Walk through your vineyard while you talk	Shows your terroir without needing to explain it
Open a bottle or pour a glass	Simple, natural, and puts your product on screen
Hold up a bunch of grapes straight off the vine	Connects your words to the actual fruit
Check on barrels or tanks in the cellar	Shows your process, not just talk
Point out a view, a sign, or a landmark on the property	Grounds the video in your specific place
Raise your glass to the camera at the end	A warm, simple way to close the video

Filming tips

Smartphone only, no professional equipment needed.

	Best	Avoid	Tip
Lighting	Natural light, side/front, golden hour	Harsh noon sun, backlighting, fluorescent	Early morning or late afternoon is most flattering
Audio	Quiet setting, minimal background noise	Wind, machinery, distracting sound	Speak a bit closer to the mic than normal
Camera	Tripod, propped, or steady hand	Shaky, wobbly footage	A water bottle or book works as a stand
Framing	Waist-up, eye level or slightly above	Too close, cutting off your head	Step back so your upper body is in frame
Orientation	Either — landscape for surroundings, portrait for close-up	—	Pick whatever feels natural for the setting

Reference videos — for pace and format, not the bar

These ProWine Instagram clips show the structure and pacing we like. Worth a quick look — but they're not the benchmark for Switzerland. Bring more energy and story than these do; that's what will make our producers stand out.
