Warning for Amazon affiliates
Last year I joined the Amazon affiliate program with no issues at all. Through my website chardonnayfans.com I was promoting their wines. Four months into it, when communicating with them directly about some business problem, they informed me that although I can advertise their wines, I would not be eligible for referral fees.
Quoting Amazon: "We have contractual agreements with some merchants and manufacturers that prohibit us from providing our Associates with advertising fees on certain products on Amazon.com".
One of these is alcoholic beverages, you can find the others here:

So be aware of this, avoid a nasty surprise and just check your products/services against their listed exceptions.
Cheers, Jerry

With time goes on I find Amazone not as a friendly business partner as it was suppoosed to be .... thanks for the warning. Cheers Jeff
What a disappointment for you. I just want to mention that I live south of Adelaide, very close to McLaren Vale and not too far from Adelaide Hills and Barossa Valley - all great wine regions. I was enjoying a Sauvignon Blanc with dinner last night.
I envy you for living near such a great wine area. I have reviewed a lot of Chardonnays from these regions and they are all quality wines. Next week we will have some friends coming over from Adelaide and they will always bring some excellent wines with them. Cheers, Jerry

Thanks for the warning. That is disappointing for you.
Yes it was. Google Adsense did not accept my site for the same reason.
