Expert Editorial Guidelines
The Wine Industry Advisor welcomes articles from industry experts; however, we ask that your article follow these simple editorial guidelines. Expert Editorials are intended as a means for you to share your expertise with the Wine Industry Advisor audience of wine industry professionals and not as an advertising piece. This doesn’t mean that you cannot mention your company name or product in the article, but that the bulk of the article should be focused on sharing original, valuable wine industry-specific information with the readers. The suggested length is 500 to 700 words, and we encourage you to include any images you have the rights to use.
You will be credited as the article’s author with name and photo as well as a link to your website. If you are interested in writing an Expert Editorial for the Wine Industry Advisor, please contact publisher@wineindustryadvisor.com with a brief summary of your article idea. All submissions are subject to review by the Wine Industry Advisor, which retains editorial privilege.
News Releases
The Wine Industry Advisor strives to be a resource of industry news and knowledge for wine business professionals. If your company, association, or institution has a press release that is relevant to the wine industry, please send it to editor@wineindustryadvisor.com and include the word “press release” in the subject line. We welcome inclusion of photos, logos, and links to additional information. All submissions will be screened for wine industry relevance by the editor before publishing to the press release section.
Advertising with the Wine Industry Advisor
We greatly appreciate our advertisers who make it possible for us to serve our wine industry readers and subscribers with quality content for free. In return we do our best to insure that the placements of banner ads are more than worth the cost by not crowding out ads or content with too many banners, which would create a poor experience for readers aa well as advertisers.
