Winemakers have been adopting the web to promote and sell their products for years, but now there are new sites trying to get in on the marketing by putting a twist on what most think is a traditional wine site. These sites are not producers of wine but creative sites that offer you deals on various types of wines. Wineries, importers, and wholesalers, are really catching onto the eCommerce sites because they allow them an easy way to sell more wine. Here are some brief reviews of three top sites that are making strides in the online wine space.
WineWoot.com – As a member you get a chance to buy different kinds of wine each week with around a discount of 50%. They often do packs of wine that you can buy like a recent offering of a Madison Cellars Four Pack Sampler for $44.99 plus $7.00 shipping.
WinesTilSoldOut.com – The concept is that they just sell one wine at a time and at a very substantial discount until they get rid of all of the bottles and then move onto the next wine. Discounts can be 60% to 70% off of the normal retail price and the site can typically goes through 2 or 3 different wines each day.
TheWineLiquidator.com – The owner of the site runs a wine importing business and retail shop so he can sell excess stock when he needs to and you reap the benefits because of the huge discounts.
Author’s Note: If you’re a winery interested in selling online, consider using Nexternal solutions for your next online store. They have cornered the shopping cart market for wineries and have carts customized to your business.
