How do I get a Winery Page on TheWineBuyingGuide?
If your winery has 5-10 wines featured on TheWineBuyingGuide, you are eligible for a winery profile on our site! These profiles provide an easy way for consumers to learn about your brand, and they list all of your wines on our site in one convenient place. For examples of what your profile will look like, check out the Winery profiles currently on TheWineBuyingGuide. We will need a short company bio and photo from you to get started. This is a great way to gain extra traffic to your blog or site! If you already have 5-10 wines on our site and would like a profile, just contact us.
Does TheWineBuyingGuide have eBooks, and how do I download them?
TheWineBuyingGuide has eBooks full of great ideas about wine, and they're completely free to download! These eBook PDFs can be saved to your computer, and/or printed out for easy reference. You can find our latest eBook, The Complete Guide to Serving Wine, here.
You will need Adobe Reader to access our eBooks. You can download a free copy of Adobe Reader from the Adobe website. For help downloading any of our eBooks, see our eBook Guide.

Do your sites contain any paid content?
Occasionally our links to bloggers will feature a recipe that was once free, but has since been made paid by the blogger. Rest assured, we are committed to providing fun content for our readers at no cost, but with many recipes available on our site, sometimes things slip through the cracks. If you come across something like this, please make sure that the blogger isn’t simply offering an ad-free paid version while still offering a free version. If this is not the case, please feel free to contact us to let us know which recipe is no longer available for free.
