Wine Enthusiast is always on the lookout for vibrant, insightful stories that bring the world of wine, spirits, food, travel, and culture to life. Whether you’re proposing a breaking-news feature, a trend-driven deep dive, a personality profile, a travel guide, a creative pairing concept, or compelling first-person commentary, pitch ideas should offer fresh angles, clear expertise, and an explainable “why now.” Each submission benefits from a concise but powerful pitch: a gripping headline, an outline of story treatment and sources, and an articulation of the author’s authority to tell it—especially in comparison to similar content already published by Wine Enthusiast. Digital rates begin at approximately $0.50 per word, with print and web assignments available across a wide range of formats and themes. Please remember not to send fully written articles—pitch before you write.
