The goal is to point consumers to those retailers that support Maryland wineries and offer a great experience for wine consumers.

Maryland Wine Month Social Media Contest
The intent of this contest is to increase engagement with Maryland Wineries Association social media followers.

Hopefully, this campaign will encourage consumers to learn about Maryland Wine Month and afford us a way to present information about Decanter to consumers who are competing for passes to the event.
