Disclosure

Independence is a core value at Wines&Joy. Recommendations come from conviction, not from prestige, fashion or commercial convenience.

What we disclose

Wines&Joy invests in wine and may support wineries (see Our Cellar). Where we have a clear connection to a wine, producer or winery that we discuss publicly, we say so plainly, on the page or post where it appears. That includes:

• a financial interest or stake of our own
• partnerships and sponsorships
• paid placements or advertising
• samples and gifted bottles
• anything else that could reasonably influence what we say

How it looks

A short label at the top, in plain words. The same label is used on the website and on Instagram. For example:

Opinion and fact

Preferences are presented as opinions. What we say about producers rests on facts and on our reading of the market.

No promises

Nothing on this site is investment or financial advice. Wine can rise or fall in value, and appreciation is never guaranteed.
