In 2019 eight independent food, wine and hospitality-specialized PR Agencies launched a new collaboration platform and website. Going by the name of The Food & Wine Republic. Together they can offer their services to brands, regions or AOC’s who are in need of international marketing and publicity. Since this summer in 2025, four new worldwide agencies have joined the network: PCats from Spain, Fivestar PR from South Africa, Winelab from Denmark and GrapeVine from Australia.
All the participating agencies are independent, specialized and 100% active in the world of food and wines. These agencies do have, although established in different countries, the same background and the right methods to connect foodies and wine consumers with brands through media.
The agencies are based in Stockholm, London, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Sydney, Kopenhagen and Capetown. All the agencies have a broad experience in the food industry and excellent contacts with relevant people in the media. These agencies are working on brand activation, press releases, press trips, media events, social media and digital marketing on a daily basis. Besides these activities, the agencies organise tastings, are present on international fairs and local food festivals. This collaboration makes it easier for clients to profit from the connections from the agencies in surrounding countries. All the associated agencies can broad their service levels while keeping their independency.
