Don't let your wine be overlooked!
Most wine shoppers purchase from retail outlets, whether online or in person. This means that the majority of your wine sales probably aren't coming from your tasting room or even your winery's website.
Put the SIP Certified seal on your bottle to ensure customers know that your wine was made with care for the people and the planet!
