Our goal is to provide engaging, informative, and accurate global wine information for consumers and businesses alike.
Wine information is poor
Limited
Limited information on the products for both consumers and trade
Digital assets
Photography, maps, and regional information is hard to find and inconsistent.
Regional information
Not based on facts (no one knows how many wineries or vineyards exist)
Global standards
There are no global standards to describe wine information
Sharing
Technical information is shared on paper or PDFs
Misinformation
General misinformation about wine whether purposeful or accidental
Thought experiment
How much time, energy and money would one spend to input 15,000 wines into a retail environment?
What information is required to educate consumers? Run reports? Make future buying decisions?
Product information changes every year.
