Editorial Partner Network

 

Drink The Bottles Editorial Partner Network

Great stories begin with great relationships.

The Drink The Bottles Editorial Partner Network brings together wineries, distilleries, importers, distributors, public relations agencies, marketing professionals, and lifestyle brands that share our passion for craftsmanship, authenticity, and exceptional storytelling.

Drink The Bottles is an independent editorial publication dedicated to exceptional wines, spirits, and the lifestyle they inspire. Our mission is simple: discover remarkable products, tell the stories behind them, and create thoughtful editorial content that continues delivering value long after publication.

Unlike traditional influencer campaigns, we do not charge placement fees, accept pay-to-play arrangements, or produce sponsored reviews. Every feature is independently selected because we believe it has earned a place on our platform through its quality, craftsmanship, heritage, innovation, or story.

Membership in the Editorial Partner Network does not guarantee editorial coverage. Our editorial independence is one of our core values, and every feature is selected according to our editorial standards. Instead, the Network provides an ongoing opportunity to build relationships with our editorial team and introduce us to exceptional brands, products, and stories throughout the year.

Our Editorial Philosophy

A remarkable bottle deserves more than a tasting note.

We believe the finest wines and spirits are best experienced within the moments they create. Whenever appropriate, our editorial features incorporate thoughtfully curated food pairings, premium glassware, entertaining, travel, design, fashion, and lifestyle elements that naturally complement the product.

Rather than simply reviewing a bottle, we create immersive editorial features that celebrate the craftsmanship, people, and experiences behind it.

Our goal is to produce timeless editorial assets that remain valuable long after publication—stories that readers continue discovering, sharing, and enjoying for months and years to come.

We welcome conversations with organizations and professionals who represent exceptional products and compelling stories, including:

• Public Relations Agencies

• Marketing & Communications Firms

• Importers & Distributors

• Wineries

• Distilleries

• Breweries

• Non-Alcoholic Beverage Brands

• Gourmet Food Producers

• Glassware, Barware & Entertaining Brands

• Home, Hospitality & Lifestyle Brands

If your brand values craftsmanship, authenticity, and meaningful storytelling, we'd love to hear from you.

What We're Looking For

Examples include:

• New product launches

• Limited releases and special allocations

• Heritage wineries and distilleries

• Craft producers and emerging brands

Why Agencies & Brands Work With Drink The Bottles

Our goal isn't simply to publish reviews.

We strive to become a trusted editorial resource for our partners—someone they think of when a new release is approaching, an exciting milestone is being celebrated, or a remarkable story deserves to be shared.

Rather than producing content designed to disappear after a few days, we focus on creating thoughtful editorial features that continue introducing exceptional brands to new audiences over time.

We believe authentic storytelling creates lasting value for both our readers and the brands we feature.

Augusta Distillery Buckner's Single Barrel 13 Year Bourbon

Image
Every so often, when the timing is right and the aging process is exactly  where they want it to be, Augusta Distillery releases their Buckner's Single Barrel 13 Year Bourbon.  There are two things you should know about this bourbon; it is delicious and it always sells out - quickly!  The bottle we are tasting today has a "bonus" to it if are a proof hound, because this one is just a tick away from being considered a hazmat bottle.  Let's get into it... Reddish brown with streaks of burgundy throughout the bottle and Glencairn.  The packaging is eye-catching (yes folks, that matters) and this is one of those bottles that makes your heart skip a half of a beat when you see it in the wild.   The nose gives vibes of an old dusty bookstore, damp country road, grilling spices and buttercream frosting.  Tasted neat, we uncovered flavors of roasted nuts, cigar smoke, pecan pie filling and a peppery goodness.  Underlying interests of homemade vanilla...

2020 Fieldhouse 301 Red Wine

Image
  This was our first experience with the wines offered by Scout & Cellar of Texas.  They seem to have a little bit of something for just about everyone, especially if you are budget-minded, as most of their offerings are in the $19 - $36 range.  At those prices you can find a daily drinker, no doubt!  This wine is the 2020 Fieldhouse 301 Red Wine (blend) from California.  You would typically find Cabernet Sauvignon in a red blend, but this one is a combination of Zinfandel (48%), Merlot (23%), Petite Sirah (12%), Carignan (9%) and Barbera (8%).   You don't find Carignan in too many California wines, even as a blending grape, so that was interesting to us.  This wine had a great medium purple color with blackberry, coffee bean and menthol nose.  With a lighter-to-medium mouthfeel, flavors of sweet blackberry preserves, roasted coffee beans, pepper and red licorice.  This is not a sugar bomb (if we have given that impression) but it i...

NV Winking Owl Merlot

Image
Why would you buy a bottle of wine for $2.49 you ask?  I honestly don't have an answer.  Curiosity probably got the best of me.  Flashbacks of "Two Buck Chuck" bounced around in my head as I passed this at Aldi several times yesterday.  But I like to keep an open mind and I'm always up to a challenge so I figured at this price, I'm really no worse for wear.  This bottle is less than a cup of coffee at most restaurants and I've spent far more money on less satisfying objects in my lifetime.  So, without further ado, I present the non-vintage Winking Owl Merlot..... I should start by saying that I am generally perplexed by anyone  who can put wine in a bottle for this price.  After all, sans juice, you still have the bottle, the cork, the label, the capsule, the outer packaging, the marketing, etc, etc to take into consideration of the total cost at checkout.  So when you remove those items from the cost of the bottle of wine, what do you have?...
