Win a  Fabulous Wine Weekend at Parehua Martinborough Country Estate Plus Weekly Prizes!

At Winesale we want you to tell the world what you think of our wines! And we’re offering BIG prizes for your reviews. Over the next three months we are going to be giving away loads of weekly prizes plus a giant grand prize for our top ten reviewers. There are three ways to win so pay close attention!

The  WAWA! (Weekly Arbitrary Wine writing Award!)
Every Tuesday we will pull out of a hat the name of any customer who has written a wine review in the last seven days.  Each winner of the WAWA will receive a credit equal to the value or their last purchase at Winesale.co.nz.  WAWA winners will be announced every Wednesday  in our newsletter, on our website and on our Facebook page.

The WAWOW! (Weekly AWard for Outstanding Wine writing!)
Every Friday our crack team of wine writers will review  our customer reviews and choose one that stands out as a beacon of excellence in wine writing. Our reviewers will be looking for reviews which are well written and informative but especially entertaining! WAWOW winners will receive a credit to the value of their last purchase at Winesale.co.nz. WAWOW winners will be announced every Saturday in our newsletter, on our website and on our Facebook page.

FAQ’s for our Wine Review Awards

Who can review our wines?
You can only review wines if you have actually purchased them from Winesale.co.nz. Currently only wine purchased via our website can be reviewed.

Where do I go to review wines?
When you are logged in to Winesale.co.nz you will see a “Review this Wine” link under the product description of all the wines you have purchased. Only wines which are currently on the site are available for review and only wines which you have purchased in the last 12 months. To quickly see what wines are available for you to review check out the Previously Ordered Wines section in your My Account area.

How do I become a Top Reviewer?
All our customer reviewers are ranked. You can achieve a higher ranking not only by writing reviews but importantly by writing high quality reviews that help other community members.  All community members are able to rate customer reviews as helpful or not helpful. The more reviews you write and the more helpful votes you get the higher your chances of becoming a top ranked reviewer.

How do I know where I rank?
You can view our customer reviewer rankings at http://www.winesale.co.nz/account/top-users.php. Rankings are updated once each day in the early hours of the morning.

Do I have to use my real name to review wines?
We encourage you to use your real name but if you’d rather not that’s no problem either. You can select a pen name for your reviews to appear under in your My Account section.

Are the reviews censured in anyway and will I only become a Top Ten Reviewer by writing positive reviews?
Absolutely not! We are committed to giving our customers all the information they need to make smart wine buying decisions. As long as comments meet our review guidelines they will be published.
