The goal is to make Pinotage easier to find, explain, taste, and buy in the United States. Links should come from useful resources, retailer listings, event pages, and education, not from bulk exchanges.
Best partners to contact
Prioritize retailers already carrying Pinotage, South African wine importers, wine clubs, sommeliers, restaurants with grilled or South African food pairings, wine educators, and newsletters that cover under-discovered grapes.
Suggested outreach language
We are building a US guide to Pinotage availability and education so more drinkers can discover South Africa’s signature red grape. We would like to include your shop if you carry Pinotage, and we can provide tasting notes, shelf talkers, bottle information, and a link to your current Pinotage inventory.
Good reasons for partners to link
Campaign ideas
Run a Pinotage tasting week, publish a yearly US availability report, create a consumer “ask your local wine shop” page, build a retailer newsletter feature, and coordinate food pairing posts around barbecue season.
What to avoid
Do not buy bulk links, use automated link exchanges, or ask unrelated websites for irrelevant links. Sponsored placements should be disclosed and marked appropriately. The visibility strategy should help drinkers and trade partners first.
