First to Call for the White Wine Emoji

Today we raise a glass to you. For those of you that are part of our digital community that emailed, signed, tweeted, messaged, liked or shared our plea for a white wine emoji, we are so grateful. If you proudly wear our button. If you always comment, tag, and like our content then we owe you our gratitude. Our efforts are paying off, as the campaign we launched last year calling for a new wine emoji is gaining traction. It has been embraced by the global wine community, including several large wineries in California.

It’s not everyday we are featured in major publications such as: Forbes, Today, Decanter, and Wine Spectator. So you can imagine the happy dance we were doing in the cellar today! We were given credit as the first winery to launch a campaign around the white wine emoji!

“It’s gratifying to see other wine companies follow our example of making wine fun and relevant with their own petitions to establish a White Wine Emoji,” said Nat Komes, General Manager of Flora Springs. “The Unicode Emoji Subcommittee encouraged us to work as a global community on the project. And these additional efforts of wine companies and of course white wine lovers around the world will help us reach the goal Flora Springs sought when we started this movement.”

It’s because of our dedicated community on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Pinterest that we feel so passionate about the missing emoji. People from all over post messages to us. And we always have to respond with the red wine version of the wine glass emoji. As a family that has led the way in white wine since our founding over 40 years ago, we’re proud you trust us with this initiative.
