Spirits, beer, and wine
Texting for distilleries, breweries, and wine bars.
Alcohol is the A in SHAFT. That means an age gate and a registration that says what you sell. Gnymble does both, so a barrel release reaches the people who signed up for it.
Built for alcohol content
Your campaign is registered as what it is: a business that sells alcohol, texting adults who opted in.
- Brand and campaign registration written for alcohol content
- Age verification by date of birth, set to 21
- Opt-in language and keywords that match the registration
- An exact STOP opts the subscriber out of that number at once
What gets sent
Barrel releases. Tasting room hours. A new pour on tap. Club pickup reminders.
Replies and broadcasts run in separate lanes, so a broadcast does not queue ahead of a reply.
Questions
Do I need an age gate to text about alcohol?
CTIA, the wireless industry association, says content must be age-gated appropriately for controlled substances and adult content. Gnymble builds the gate in: a subscriber confirms a date of birth before any marketing text. The SHAFT guide quotes the source. T-Mobile's code of conduct is plain about the shortcut: "Non-acceptable age gating function includes but is not limited to Yes or No responses."
Can a taproom and a distillery share one account?
Tell us how the businesses are set up. Registration follows the brand, so we will walk through it with you before anything is filed.
