In its March issue, Wine Spectator will publish its annual Oregon Wine report. The highly qualified readership of the print magazine is estimated at 3 million, with more than 370,000 paid subscribers.
Wine Spectator is offering a cooperative advertising opportunity for up to 18 Oregon wineries, providing the opportunity to gain more exposure in the magazine at a more affordable price than purchased advertising (a full-page ad typically runs about $40,000).
Participating wineries will receive the following in the print edition, on a co-sponsored page with other wineries:
- Logo placement
- Bottle image
- Up to 50 words of copy
- Website
Other benefits to participating wineries include:
- Opportunity to pour at The Taste of Hope event in New York in May 2018
- Inclusion in a Wine Spectator email newsletter
- Chance to offer a purchase promotion with direct link to your website
- This will be hosted on a landing page accessed via sponsored content in an editorial e-newsletter (40,000 subscribers)
To help illustrate this opportunity and the great impact it can have, there is a similar program being run by Lodi Wines in the current Dec. 31 issue of Wine Spectator. Shown is the printed co-op campaign (click to view larger image) and the promotional landing page.

Participation is open to ANY Oregon winery, with rates ranging from $3,000 – $4,500 per winery, depending on the number of interested Oregon wineries.
