Samples & Ratings Policies

Samples are reviewed on an ongoing basis. The following samples & ratings policies ensure that fair and transparent information is communicated for consumers who are looking to make a buying decision.

As part of that transparency, each sample is tasted with full knowledge of the producer, the region, and the price. 

Samples Policy

If there’s an organic fit for inclusion on the website, samples may make their way into editorial content. However, coverage cannot be guaranteed. 

Note, from time to time we work with industry partners and advertisers, however, they do not dictate our content. Content that has been paid for will always be clearly labelled as sponsored content. 

Where To Send Samples

Please send your sample(s) for consideration to:

      Social Sips Product Reviews
      105 Hampstead Place, NW
      Calgary, Alberta, T3A 5J3

No signature is required. If no one is at the home office to accept, deliveries can be confidently left in the covered front entryway. 

Ratings Policy

As for January 2021, samples are put through a rating system and posted via Instagram. To further our philosophy promoting transparency, we use the 100-point system as outlined in detail on VinePair. 

If a sample is sent and a published rating is not wanted, that must be communicated by email previous to receiving the sample.
