Frequently Asked Questions

Why did you create MissouriWineCountry.com? We created MissouriWineCountry.com because we have a passion for wine and a passion for our home state of Missouri. We believe Missouri wines are poised to take on national prominence, and we want to help do our part to spread the word. How does MissouriWineCountry.com differ from the MissouriWine.org, the official website for the Missouri wine industry? Although the state of Missouri does a fine job of supporting the wineries, MissouriWine.org is mainly an insider resource. MissouriWineCountry.com is primarily aimed at consumers. Our goals are different, and we believe that our website complements the state of Missouri’s. Do you intend to sell wine on MissouriWineCountry.com? No, our goal is to support Missouri wineries by driving visitors to the wineries and to their websites, and to tell consumers where they can buy Missouri wines locally. Wineries need to generate sales to succeed and to invest in their operations, and when wine drinkers buy direct, the wineries’ profit margins are higher. Wineries make the most revenue by selling wine at their tasting rooms, so that’s why we have a special focus on encouraging our visitors to visit wine country. How can I use MissouriWineCountry.com?
