"Once upon a wine...": using a short story contest to promote wine
The Spanish wine website Turismodevino.com is organizing a contest for short stories about wines.
Writers (in Spanish) can submit stories of 600 words or less that complete one of three beginnings: a life changing visit to a winery, an escaped lunatic sneaks into a wine tasting competition, or a crime whose principal clue is missing bottle of wine. Winners will receive 380 euros, a stay in a hotel in Ribera del Duero or wines. The deadline for entries is Octuber 1, 2009. More info at: http://www.turismodevino.com/1er-concurso-de-fotografia-de-turismo-de-vino-enoturismo.php
Beyond promoting the site with the contest itself, it will be interesting to see what use is made of the stories they receive; perhaps to generate ideas about themes writers associate with wines?

Oh well, its never too late to Spanish! But definitely a French winery should be doing something similiar.
Thanks for your comment!
