Wines & Vines' Annual Review

Wines & Vines, Nov, 2003

For 24 years, now, Wines & Vines has made November our special Equipment, Supplies and Services issue. Why? First, to acknowledge and provide a billboard for the ever-growing number and variety of suppliers to the wine industry. Second, to keep our readers up-to-date on all the newest, most exciting options available to help them achieve their goals in the vineyard, winery and marketplace.

Why November? Because, we know that, with the Northern Hemisphere crush complete, the industry decision makers who form our readership are already beginning to plan, budget and shop for the next yearly cycle.

Though we do our utmost to include as many listings as possible, space in Wines & Vines is valuable, and limited. If we don't know you exist; if you missed our deadline; if your submission was illegible or your information incomplete, we're sorry, but your company is not included. If you'd like to be mentioned next year, please contact us.

Here, then, is our November shopping list of suppliers, contact information and descriptions of what's new from them this year. We hope you'll find just what you need to help make next year successful and prosperous.
