Chicken Soup for the Wine Lovers Soul – Do You Have a Story?

Every wine lover has a story to tell about the best glass of wine, when he or she found that special vintage bottle or how much fun it was that afternoon they all went wine tasting through Napa Valley, California and any of the other burgeoning wine producing regions of the United States. Some people have great stories to share about what happened as a result of that shared glass of wine…

Chicken Soup for the Soul is looking for the very best true, heat-warming, insightful and powerfully moving stories about how wine has affected your life. It could be about wine tasting, wine making, and its meaning and uses in all cultures.

The authors of the New York Times Bestselling book series, Chicken Soup for the Soul are currently seeking stories to include in Chicken Soup for the Wine Lovers Soul. If you have a story about relationships or events that include wine, Chicken Soup for the Wine Lovers Soul wants to hear from you.

What makes a good Chicken Soup for the Soul story?

Chicken Soup stories inspire, uplift and genuinely touch people. They are filled with vivid images, leaving the reader with a feeling of being “there” — in the story — with the people involved. A Chicken Soup story may make the reader laugh out loud, reach for a Kleenex, or give the reader food for thought, but all Chicken Soup stories create emotion rather than simply describing it.

If you have a great story and would like to be included in Chicken Soup for the Wine Lovers Soul please send your stories to: stories@WineLoversSoul.com (either as an attachment or simply pasted into the body of the message). You can also send in stories by:
