MI Wine Industry Adapting to Quarantine

This past month has been an adjustment, to say the least, for most of our members, the Michigan wine industry as as whole, as well as the entire state of Michigan. We are so impressed with how the industry has adapted to the current situation. MWC is here to help and support in any way we can. Currently we are building a page on our website to highlight our member’s wine deals and virtual events. Thank you for all of your hard work and we are looking forward to seeing you in the tasting rooms.

If you have anything you would like to promote via MWC please reply to this email.

Michigan Wine Month Committee Hard at Work

The MWC Michigan Wine Month committee has been hard at work preparing for a unique MI Wine Month this May. Brian Lillie of Chateau Chantal has stepped up to chair this commitee and is leading the charge on making this MI Wine Month successful. We are excited to see how the industry adapts and how far Michigan wine will travel with the quarantine impacting physical travel.

Check out the MWC website for a listing of quarantine wine deals and events.

The official Press Release was distributed this morning to our membership, the media, consumers, and more.

Staying Vigilant with Increased Wine Shipping

Many Michigan wineries are increasing their business via DTC shipping. This is an exciting time to work on building digital sales strategies and expanding shipping capibilities. During this time, the Michigan Wine Collaborative encourages our member wineries and ALL wineries to refresh themselves on some best practices to utlize when shipping to customers.
