Washington State Wines to Receive Federal Funding for International Promotion
Great news for Northwest winemakers!
“For several years, money has been given to Washington and Oregon so that they can boost awareness of Northwest wines on a global scale.
This year, $650,000 dollars will allow close to 40 wineries to promote their blends overseas.
Right now, the commission is targeting their key markets which they say are Canada, Japan and the United Kingdom. This funding helps them drive the influence. Without it, promotion would be tough.”
