Sites for wine-lovers

 
 
People not familiar with wine consider this subject as traditionally conservative and avoiding new technologies. However, it is not true. We are ready to name at least three innovative sites meeting peoples with the world of wine. So, TastingRoom.com suggests to taste wine before buying a bottle of it. At the portal there is a list of samples of wine in sets of 6 bottles of 50 ml. The price of such a kit is 20-30 dollars. The samples are gathered in a set by producer, production area or other criteria. After tasting samples it is possible to buy a normal size bottle. Lot18 uses another way to develop private sales. As it is possible to become a visitor only having a recommendation of an actual user of the site Lot 18. There are good wines from big producers with discounts on the portal. No mediators are between a producer and a buyer. That is the reason of the reduced cost. Snooth is one more innovative site marring a wine portal with a social network. It was launched in 2007 and implemented lots of good service ideas for wine-lovers. One of them is called Wine Rack. It contents educational materials, as well as tasting notes of wine-lovers about wine with comments. Another interesting function of the resource named Cellar lets people to follow the status of the wine, which they have in their wine-cellars, like name, tasting notes, price, volume of the bottle, quantity of bottles etc. Source – www.drinktime.rbc.ru
