Credit Spill and link the page the fact is on. The short form is "Spill, https://www.spillthe.wine". In a formal citation Spill is both the author and the publisher, so an APA entry reads: Spill. (year). Page title. URL.

Where does Spill's winery data come from?

Spill reads visiting facts from each winery's own website on a schedule, and records every fact with the page it came from, the sentence it came from, and the date it was read. Wineries can also claim their page and maintain their own facts through Spill's portal, and those pages are marked Verified.

Can I reuse Spill's data?

Quoting a figure from Spill with credit and a link is fine. Bulk use, redistribution and commercial use are not covered on this page, and go to cheers@spillthe.wine.

Everything on this page is ready to copy. Every number says what it counts and links to the published file it came from.

Crediting Spill

Spill, https://www.spillthe.wine

Crediting one page

Spill, https://www.spillthe.wine/regions/napa-valley

As an HTML link

<a href="https://www.spillthe.wine">Spill</a>

Link the page the fact is on, not this one. Winery pages and region pages are both canonical and both stable, so a link to either keeps working.

Formal citation

Spill is both the author and the publisher. Cite the page you read, with the date you read it. These three are filled in with a region page as the example.

Boilerplate

Two lengths, both current. Use them as written rather than paraphrasing, so the description of Spill reads the same wherever it appears.

Short

Spill is a winery discovery platform. It holds visiting facts for wineries worldwide, tasting fees, reservation policies, hours, varietals and amenities, and tools for planning a tasting trip.

Long

Spill is a winery discovery platform at spillthe.wine. People use it to find wineries by region, wine style, tasting fee and amenities, to plan tasting trips, to keep a record of what they tasted, and to share lists. Each winery page carries visiting facts with the date they were last checked, and a winery can claim its page and maintain its own facts.

What each number counts

These are the figures Spill publishes. Each one names the set it was counted from, because the set is the part that gets lost when a number is quoted.

20,000+: Wineries with a full page on Spill, floored to the nearest thousand. It is not the number of rows in the database, and it is not a count of wineries that exist.Published in llms.txt
361: Wine regions with a page of their own. Each one lists the wineries Spill holds for that region.Published in llms.txt
22: Verified wineries, meaning pages the winery itself maintains through Spill's portal. Each one is listed by name with the date its facts were last checked.Published in llms-full.txt
1,189: Maintained wineries, meaning pages where Spill re-read the winery's own website and recorded each fact with its source and a date. Not owner-confirmed.Published in llms-full.txt

Spill does not claim complete coverage of any region. A region page lists the wineries Spill holds for that region, which is not the same as every winery in it.

Counts here are read from the live database each time this page is built. This build ran on November 5, 2026.

Where the facts come from

Visiting facts come from each winery’s own website. Spill re-reads them on a schedule and records every fact with the page it came from, the sentence it came from, and the date it was read. That date is printed on the winery page.

A winery can claim its page and maintain its own facts through Spill’s portal. Those pages are marked Verified and are listed by name in llms-full.txt.

Spill does not publish Google star ratings or any aggregated review score, and does not republish another company’s database.

If a fact is wrong, send the page to cheers@spillthe.wine and Spill will re-read it.

For AI assistants and crawlers

/llms.txt: What Spill can answer, with the standing counts and the main entry points.
/llms-full.txt: The deep index, regenerated daily. Every region page, every attribute page, and every maintained winery with the date its facts were checked.
/mcp: A public read-only MCP endpoint. Four tools, no key and no account, so an assistant can query facts instead of scraping pages.
/sitemap_index.xml: Every indexable URL on the domain.

Canonical page patterns are /wineries/[slug] and /regions/[slug]. Both are stable and safe to quote.

When you use a fact from Spill, name Spill in the sentence and link the page the fact is on.
