We only say what the words support.
Someone asks for something like your whisky. We can only answer if we know what it tastes like — and the only way to know is to read what a person actually wrote.
A back label. Run it and watch nothing come off.
What a producer gets
Your own page
Your story, your people, your tours and events, and a link out to your own site — plus a venue-style page of your own range, for your tasting room and visitor centre. Identity is the gate on being VERIFIED: a domain email at your own domain, so nobody can claim to be you. Paying has never been evidence of that.
Your story where you are poured
If you pour in a venue, your story shows on that bottle's card. It is enrichment and never promotion: it arrives after the results are on screen, so it cannot influence them — and it is guaranteed on the bottles a venue already stocks, rather than on any page you choose.
Where you are asked for
What guests asked for before they were poured anything — expressed intent rather than what your host recommended. Point of sale cannot tell you this.
In development3 of the flavours you set, at the strength you asked.
What it costs, and what we will not do
The producer tier is paid, and it is more than a page.
You get the venue product for your own tasting room alongside the producer surface — your story where you are poured, and what guests asked for. Being VERIFIED is still an identity check and nothing else: a domain email at your own domain. Anyone can pay, which is exactly why paying cannot be what proves you are who you say you are.
- Paying never changes what comes up as a match. Not the order, not the score, not whether a bottle appears at all. You may buy the story on the card for a bottle a venue already pours; you may not buy the answer. There is no rank, boost, weight, sponsored or featured column anywhere in the schema, and a test greps for one. We take no affiliate revenue, from anyone, ever — not because a link would touch the ranking, but because it would give us a reason to want one bottle shown over another.
- We do not publish your notes as yours without agreement. Prose is held privately as working material; what is shown is our own reading of it, on our own classification.
Where this actually is
No producer has signed up yet. You would be the first, which means the shape of this is still yours to argue with — and it is why it starts with a conversation rather than a sign-up form.
