Supporting wine writers is supporting education, trust, and the future of wine culture.
Support the Next Generation of Wine Writers
The International Wine Media Association (IWMA) is dedicated to raising standards and supporting the next generation of voices in wine. By becoming a supporting winery, PR or merchant member, you are helping to create opportunities for new writers, educators, and communicators who will shape how wine is understood and enjoyed in the years ahead.
Your membership demonstrates a commitment to a stronger, more inclusive wine media landscape. It places your winery alongside others who value integrity, education, and the responsible communication of wine to a global audience.
As part of your membership, you will also receive a complimentary basic account on AssetSharer.com, the industry’s simple, journalist-focused platform for sharing images, fact sheets, and press packs. This ensures that your winery’s story and materials are available instantly to writers, without the usual hurdles of expired links, heavy downloads, or lost files.
By supporting the IWMA, you not only champion new writers but also give your winery greater visibility and direct access to the media community.
Join us today and play a role in shaping the future of wine communication. Simply fill out the form below and we will be in touch with the next steps.
Our pricing reflects that the IWMA has only recently launched and will take time to build up. We want this early stage to be accessible to everyone working within the industry while we continue developing new resources, expanding our media network, and adding further benefits for supporters. Those who join now become part of the organisation’s foundation, helping shape a modern and credible space for wine and spirits communication as it grows.
