Sometimes it is a struggle
Sometimes it is not an easy task running a website of this magnitude. It requires a great deal of time and energy to
deal with over 400 wineries in an industry that rapidly gowning and changing.
Over 65,000 people have visited wines of Canada.com this year an amazing number of wine lovers.
I receive over 100 e-mails each month asking about Canada's wines and her wineries.
Canada is a vast country stretching from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific making it a difficult task to obtain all the information about all the wineries there is. It requires assistance from the wineries themselves.
In my view the wineries of Canada benefit the most from this web page with no expense to them.
95 % of the wineries in Canada have a website. of those 98% of them have a Contact page. On this Contact page they have
an e-mail address which in most cases is info@xxxxxwinery.com
. Is that not an direct invitation for one to ask questions about the winery and the wines. Many of the website's even invite you to ask questions providing more than one e-mail address.
In order to obtain information for the website I take full advantage of these offers to contact the winery.
I compose the e-mail add some questions and send the e-mails. Frankly I'm too embarrassed to tell you just how many wineries never respond. I'm even more crushed by those who say they don't have the time or go look at our website.
In my view they have insulted me twice. Once as a customer which I most definitely am! I do buy a lot of Canadian wines.
but also as a individual who runs a website that helps the wineries of Canada sell wine.
Would you in your business turn down a chance to get free publicity. Seems many of the wineries of Canada do.

Room Temperature for wine means a typical cellar temperature of 58 F (14 C) the ideal temperature at which wine is stored.
Red wine is often served too warm. The bottle should feel cool to the touch before drinking, reflecting the ideal room temperature.
