Questions about Wine & Beer Tasting
Getting featured, how interviews work, what a tasting shoot delivers and why we ask your age.
What is Wine & Beer Tasting?
Wine & Beer Tasting reports from wine and beer events and interviews the producers who pour at them, alongside tasting notes and features on regions, winemaking and beer. It is an ACME Productions content brand, edited by Peter Ronen (IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm17188307/) (credits on IMDb) and intended for adults 21 and over.
How do I find a past event, wine or producer?
Use the search at the top of every page. It looks through every story since 2009, including event names, venues and cities, producers, wines and vintages, people interviewed and dates, so a search such as "Bordeaux", "Pinot Noir" or "June 2016" works. Results can be narrowed by section, type and year.
How do I get my wine or beer featured?
Producers, importers, distributors and event organizers can request an interview feature, tasting coverage or a sponsorship through the Get featured form on the home page. Coverage is editorial and never guaranteed.
What happens during an interview?
Every interview follows the same four steps: a shot of the label and bottle, one clear question and answer with the producer, the pour, swirl and taste, and a quick tip on what to look for.
What do you produce from an event?
A written report in the journal with the producers who poured, and a set of finished clips: 11 cuts from a standard tasting, with 8 producer vertical clips by day 3, a highlight reel horizontal and a highlight reel vertical by day 5 and an event story episode by day 10, counted from the day of the tasting.
Can ACME Productions produce our tasting or festival?
Yes. ACME Productions, which publishes Wine & Beer Tasting, runs complete event production for tastings, trade tours and festivals: interviews, host and MC, filming, photography, drone, red carpet, step and repeat, runway, model sourcing, Getty Images sourcing, broadcast coverage and post-production. Each job is quoted; ask through the Get featured form or at acmeproductions.org.
Do you cover beer as well as wine?
Yes. The journal and interviews cover wine regions, winemaking and aging as well as brewers, beer styles and beer making.
Is the crew insured when it films at my event?
Yes, every shoot is covered. ACME Productions carries errors and omissions (E&O) cover and is insured for interview and event production up to $1 million (production liability). Certificates of insurance are supplied on request. Organizers and venues can ask for the certificate when they book coverage.
Why does the site ask my age?
The site is about alcohol and is intended for adults of legal drinking age, 21 and over in the United States. Your answer is stored in your own browser only; we do not receive it.
I was at a tasting you covered. Where are the photos?
Events ACME Productions covers for Wine & Beer Tasting get a guest page at acmeproductions.org/e followed by the code on the sign at the venue. Photos and clips land there the same night, sorted by moment, to download and share. The page is for the guests of that event only and comes down 30 days after the event. To have a photo of you taken down, use the request link on that page.
What happens to the information I send?
