Promote Your Wines

Winners sell more wine. It may sound simple, but it’s true.

This is in part due to the increased recognition that successful wines receive as a result of their strong performance in competition.

Our judging method, along with our panels of recognized experts and experienced wine critics, means that results earned in the WineAlign World Wine Awards of Canada are results you can be proud of.

Winning entries will enjoy increased consumer recognition as a direct result of their success in The Worlds, leveraging their winning status in marketing strategies following the awards.

In addition, all wines entered into The Worlds will receive at least one review on WineAlign, and many wines will also receive reviews in French.

Results on WineAlign and in the other media for which our judges write

Detailed results and analysis of the WWAC will appear online at WineAlign in September 2014.  A series of newsletters will be sent to registered users in the weeks that follow drawing further attention to the winning wines.  Award winners will have virtual medals appear with their wines on WineAlign.  In addition all of the judges are encouraged to publish the results in the media for which they write.

Below are examples of how virtual medal wines would be displayed on WineAlign.

Results in Financial Post Magazine

The results will also be published in a special feature section of National Post’s FP magazine in the fall of 2013. This has a readership of almost 1 million who are an affluent wine loving demographic group.

Use Award Winners in your Marketing Strategy

The Worlds results receive wide publicity from our judges, as they report about the competition in their media, be it international, national or regional. Results are pre-released to the judging panel to allow them to publish in their respective media.

Make your results a key part of your marketing strategy

Wineries and/or agents are encouraged to promote their success in their own materials, such as shelf talkers or sell sheets along with logos, and are encouraged to indicate that the results are from the WineAlign World Wine Awards of Canada 2014.

Winning wineries and agents will be notified in late September of their competition success in order to facilitate any marketing planning they intend to do referencing The Worlds. Advertising on WineAlign will further enhance the benefit from being a winning wine at The Worlds.

All winners in all categories are sent promotional materials.
