Member News: November 2025
Dear WIN Members,
We know these are challenging times. While headlines often focus on wineries and vineyards, the suppliers and service providers who support them are facing the same headwinds. We see it, we understand it, and we’re committed to helping you all have more success in the year ahead.
For more than 15 years, the Wine Industry Network has been dedicated to helping our members connect with the right audience, strengthen their brand, and grow their business. Over that time, we’ve proven that content marketing delivers the strongest results and best return on investment.
One of the biggest challenges we hear from members is finding the time to create consistent, high-quality content — the kind that builds visibility, credibility, and results.
To help, we’re introducing a new Concierge Tier of Membership — a full-service marketing program for busy companies that want to stay visible without adding to their workload.
Concierge members receive:
• 12 professionally produced posts per year, planned and created quarterly by a dedicated WIN Marketing Manager
• Guaranteed priority newsletter and social media placement
• Detailed quarterly performance reporting
• Exclusive discounts on sponsorships, booths, and other marketing products
• View full benefits & pricing
We’re starting small — just 10 spots initially — to ensure every member receives personalized attention. We’ll revisit expanding later in the year, but for now, space is extremely limited.
For those who already manage their own content, we’re also introducing a Brand Awareness Level — a high-impact marketing tier that maintains consistent, year-round visibility across the WIN network. It elevates your brand presence through targeted digital exposure in our product-focused newsletters and across the broader WIN audience. Learn more
On behalf of our entire team, thank you for your continued trust and partnership. We know how hard you’re working to serve this industry, and we remain committed to helping you succeed every step of the way.
Warm regards,
George Christie
President, Wine Industry Network
