2008 World Wine Championships Newsletter

How much time and money have you spent sending wines to magazines with nothing to show for it? How often have you waited for months with baited breath wondering if you’re one of the lucky few to be chosen for publication? And if you are fortunate enough to make it in, how free is that “free” review when afterwards you’re solicited to pay thousands of dollars for a label ad and many hundreds more for point-of sale materials?

Do you want to continue to roll the dice with the Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast or others, or would you like a guaranteed professional review in your hands within two months? Let us tell you how we can help you sell your wines! For only $95 per wine we will give you:

• Guaranteed, professional reviews from noted experts, beverage writers, and buyers within the industry, done by blind tastings.

• Results promptly released 45 days after each registration deadline, in time for you to effectively use to sell your wines–not three to six months later, like many other publications.   

• Frameable award certificates with 100-point-based scores and medals for your tasting room for all of your recommended wines.

• Usable, consumer-friendly tasting notes for your sales materials.

• Free point-of-sale materials: every wine can receive PDFs of Shelf Talkers and Sell Sheets . (We can give you the PDFs for free, or we can print them for you at prices far below others in the industry.)

• Quickly posted reviews on Tastings.com, one of the highest trafficked free wine review websites, as ranked by Google and Alexa.com, the top trackers of website traffic.

• Your complete contact information next to your online reviews and the ability to have links to your online store to help generate sales.          

• Links to your reviews on Tastings.com to show others your valuable endorsement.    

• Opportunities for “Best Buy” awards or “Wine of the Week” selections on Tastings.com.
