When it comes to Michigan wine, the thing to know is “Cool Is Hot.”
That’s the theme of a new ad campaign which launched in April from Taste Michigan, the Michigan Wine Collaborative’s marketing brand. It’s also big news for wine drinkers! The cool climate wines Michigan is known for are enjoying fresh attention from enthusiasts and casual fans alike.
The campaign runs through the end of May, helping raise awareness, interest and consumption of Michigan wines. To fund the project, the Michigan Wine Collaborative – a non-profit association of wine professionals throughout the state – secured a $125,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture through the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
