Because of dramatic recent growth, branding is especially important in cold-climate wine regions where consumers (and potential consumers) are less familiar with cold-hardy wines and the areas where they are produced. The key to a successful and sustainable cold-hardy wine industry relies on creating a positive images in consumers\u2019 minds of cold-hardy wines, emerging wine regions and the individual wineries. In this webinar, Bill Gartner of the University of Minnesota and Dan McCole of Michigan State University will share best practices for branding cold-hardy wines based on several branding-related studies conducted recently as part of the Northern Grapes Project.<\/em><\/p>\n If you have received this email from someone other than Chrislyn Particka, you need to register via the link below:<\/strong><\/p>\n https:\/\/cornell.qualtrics.com\/jfe\/form\/SV_9npPU5gPibzoTLn<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Registering for one Northern Grapes Webinar will place you on the mailing list, and you will receive announcements and connection instruction for all further Northern Grapes Webinars.<\/p>\n Registration will close at 8 am (Eastern) on Friday, February 5th. <\/strong><\/p>\n Registration is NOT required if you received this email directly from Chrislyn Particka, as it means that you are a member of the Northern Grapes Webinar mailing list.<\/p>\n All members of the Northern Grapes Webinar mailing list will receive an email the Friday before the webinar containing the web address (URL) for both webinar sessions as well as connection instructions.<\/p>\n There is no charge for this webinar.
