In tough times, the tough get going, and that is exactly what wine.co.za is doing to help wineries get focused. For 2012, wine.co.za is focusing on different topics every month and if your wine or winery fits the themes we have chosen, please take advantage of this added value service. This campaign is open to any winery, but our clients get the advantage. We understand the difficulties wineries are facing, and this campaign allows us to offer added value for our clients. Global Partners and Partners (top clients of wine.co.za) will get preference, in that order. As the year is drawing to a rather quick close, we call all wineries to submit their wines for our January Spotlight - Chenin blanc - the Workhorse. Please click here to get more detail on what to submit and what the program entails. We ask wineries to send their submissions to updates@wine.co.za - clearly marked Spotlight and the Month/Theme name and we will then be in touch. So ... let's hear from you. st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-qformat:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif";} 2012 MONTH THEME SUBMISSION DEADLINE FOR CONSIDERATION BY WINE.CO.ZA WINE.CO.ZA TO INFORM WINERY OF ACCEPTANCE OR REJECTION DATE WINERY TO ENSURE THEY CAN BE AT WINE.CO.ZA’S OFFICE FOR INTERVIEW & VIDEO JAN CHENIN – The Work-horse Fri 25th Nov Fri 2nd Dec Tues 13th Dec @10am FEB BO-DIE-BERG ROBERTSON/BREEDEKLOOF Fri 9th Dec Thurs 15th Dec Tues 17th Jan @10am MARCH THE X-FILES Pushing the envelope – what are you doing that is unusual or different or unique?
