5forests

Based in Bordeaux, France, 5forests is a small team (1-10 people) working specifically within the wine, beer, and spirits industries. Rather than serving a broad cross-section of businesses, the agency positions itself around the needs of wineries and beverage producers, with particular attention to Commerce7-based e-commerce sites. Its stated focus is customer-centric marketing aimed at solving concrete business problems for this niche: filling tasting rooms, growing wine club membership, increasing direct-to-consumer sales, and improving marketing ROI. The agency recently acquired Wine Cellar Door, expanding its portfolio ahead of English Wine Week 2026. Services cover the full digital marketing and web stack: search engine optimization, digital and marketing strategy, social media marketing, web design and development, conversion rate optimization, and email marketing. Web development work centers on winery websites and Commerce7 builds, with stated attention to accessibility compliance and sustainable site design. The agency also addresses website conversion improvements and privacy/accessibility compliance as discrete service areas rather than general add-ons. Its portfolio is organized around client projects and testimonials specific to wineries, alongside categorized website examples — Commerce7 websites, accessible websites, and sustainable websites — indicating a practice built around the technical and commercial particulars of running e-commerce and DTC operations for beverage-industry clients rather than generic marketing services.
