Ménage à Trois Targets Female Soccer Fans in Summer Betches Push
The California wine brand turns 30 by chasing culture-forward millennial and Gen Z women through a 250-million-reach digital media partnership.
Ménage à Trois Wines is leaning into sports culture and digital media this summer with a partnership campaign alongside Betches, the female-skewing entertainment platform that claims a community of 250 million followers. The collaboration centers on Betches' *Hot Goal Summer* soccer content push, through which Ménage à Trois is offering fans a chance to win a trip to Los Angeles to watch soccer at a global-stage event—putting the wine brand squarely in the conversation around the sport's surging popularity among younger American women.
For on-premise operators and retail wine buyers, the move signals where a maturing wine label is directing its marketing firepower: away from traditional lifestyle ads and toward meme-driven, culturally fluent digital content that meets younger consumers where they already spend time. Tying a sweepstakes to a live sports moment adds urgency and shareability that straightforward brand advertising rarely delivers, and it positions Ménage à Trois as a purchase-occasion wine for social gatherings around match-day viewing.
The brand is also leaning on a milestone: Ménage à Trois turns 30 this year. Rather than leaning into legacy messaging, the Napa-based label is doubling down on its irreverent, accessible identity—a strategic choice that distinguishes it from heritage-focused California wine marketing. The Betches audience skews toward the same millennial and Gen Z women who are increasingly driving on-premise wine volume, making the partnership a logical extension of category-wide efforts to court a demographic that has shown strong loyalty to brands that reflect their sense of humor and values.
The partnership reflects a broader trend in [beverage industry marketing](/beverage/industry-trends) where wine labels are competing for attention not just against other wines but against ready-to-drink cocktails and hard seltzers that have historically invested more aggressively in pop-culture tie-ins. Bars and restaurants stocking Ménage à Trois can expect increased consumer brand recognition among the target demographic heading into peak summer selling season. Coverage of this campaign first appeared via [Food & Beverage Magazine](https://fb101.com/?utm_source=rhfnews&utm_campaign=powered_by), and fits into a wider pattern of wine brands rethinking how they reach younger on-premise guests—a topic that has drawn sustained attention across [restaurant beverage programming](/restaurants/technology) conversations in recent months.
