In addition to the holidays above don’t forget these weekly celebrations:

  • #WineWednesday – This is a weekly celebration of wine on social media.  It often trends, so it’s a great way to join a larger social media conversation.
  • #SundayFunday – This is another weekly celebration of fun things to do on a Sunday.  It also treads on social media.

And ALWAYS remember to use #NCWine (NOT #ncwines) when talking about North Carolina Wine on social media!  #NCWine has a larger post volume and is more recognizable!  Finally, #DrinkLocal is also another great national hashtag to use.  Happy drinking and posting!  Cheers!
