Since its inception in 2014, Bright Cellars, the subscription-based company that uses an algorithm to sell tailored wines, has experienced tremendous growth.
Between 2016 and 2017, the company experienced a 65 percent spurt in membership. Just last fall, the company had 17,000 subscribers and 35 employees, but by March, the company grew to 20,000 subscribers and 40 employees.
