Tagged individuals must be real, distinct Instagram users; self-tags, duplicate accounts, and fictitious profiles will not be counted, and any entries obtained in violation of this paragraph will be void. Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any entrant who uses multiple email addresses, identities, Instagram accounts, or devices to obtain additional entries, or who otherwise attempts to circumvent this limit.
    2. The use of automated, programmed or like means of entry or third party sweepstakes entry services is strictly prohibited; and, any entries submitted in such manner will be void (even if otherwise eligible) and the corresponding entrant will be disqualified.
    3. Receipt of completed entry may be acknowledged by Sponsor; but, any such acknowledgment does not constitute any representation as to Sweepstakes eligibility, notification of one’s selection as the potential prize winner, nor is it otherwise binding upon Sponsor. Submitted entries become the property of Sponsor and will not be returned.
    4. Proof of transmission of entry does not constitute proof of receipt of same or proof of entry.
    5. In the event of dispute, an entry will be deemed made by the Authorized Account Holder of the email address used to enter the Sweepstakes. Authorized Account Holder means the natural person who is assigned to an email address by an Internet access provider, on-line service provider, or other organization that is responsible for assigning email addresses for the domain associated with the submitted email address.
    6. Use of Personal Information. Personal information collected from entrants will be used by Sponsor to administer the Sweepstakes (including winner selection, notification, and prize fulfillment) and otherwise in accordance with Sponsor's Privacy Policy, available at https://www.ninetypluscellars.com/policies/privacy-policy. If an entrant separately opts in by checking the applicable box on the entry form, Sponsor may also use the entrant's email address to send marketing communications from Sponsor. This marketing consent is entirely optional and is not required to enter or participate in the Sweepstakes, and may be withdrawn at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions included in any such communication.
  4. Winner Selection & Notification. 
    1. The prize winner will be selected in a random drawing from among all eligible entries received, to be conducted by Sponsor on or about January 11, 2027.
    2. The potential prize winner will be notified by email and/or phone and must complete, sign and return an Affidavit of Eligibility and a Liability Release within seven (7) days of the date of prize notification. Potential prize winner must augment signed Affidavit/Release with valid government-issued photo identification (e.g., driver’s license or passport). Because the Prize includes international travel to Italy, Winner must also possess a valid, unexpired passport with at least six (6) months of validity remaining beyond the anticipated travel dates. It is Winner’s sole responsibility to timely obtain or renew such passport, and any failure to do so will not extend the validity of the hotel voucher or otherwise obligate Sponsor. In the event of noncompliance with this requirement (including Sponsor’s determination in its sole discretion that tendered identification is unacceptable, inadequate or unreliable); if potential prize winner cannot be contacted for any reason despite Sponsor’s commercially reasonable efforts to do so (for example, email notification to potential prize winner being classified as “SPAM” or “junk,” or not being received or timely received by potential prize winner for any reason); or if potential prize winner is determined to be ineligible or otherwise in violation of these Official Rules, the prize will be forfeited without compensation of any kind and an alternate potential prize winner selected from among all remaining eligible entries received.
