Running a proof-worthy list

How a venue shows its proof: its own words, a readable list with producers named, a claimed listing. Free, and never for sale.

Module 1 · What counts

Say it in your own words

Your own site saying 'natural wine', 'vin nature' or 'low intervention' is proof we can cite. A live website matters too: a site that doesn't answer loses points, because the place may have closed.

Name the producers on your list

A list that names natural producers, online or as a PDF, is the strongest proof we can read. Each known natural producer adds a point, up to twelve.

Keep it current. An old list is still proof, but it's dated, and guests notice.

Try this: Check that your published list names the producer for every wine by the glass.

Claim your listing

Owners can claim a listing to fix details, add hours and upload a current wine list. The listing, proof stamp and Funk Score are free, forever; paid venue tools never move a point.

The venue dashboard is where a claimed venue manages its page.

Credit the makers

Every venue page names the producers on its list, and every producer page shows where it's poured. A named list sends guests to you and credits the people who made the wine.
