Purchasing Wine Online – An introduction

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

Buying things online always seems to concern some people, especially those not so familiar with how the internet works and how safe it generally is now.  Mention handing out a credit card number to people and they cringe.  Transactions by the millions are now being processed via the internet thanks to the added improvement in security over the years.

Wine sales over the internet is no different, with many people reluctant to buy wine over the internet.  These days, more and more quality online stores are presenting quality wines at affordable prices.

Mailing lists are a great way of keeping up to date with trends and happenings within the industry, as well as being informed of great bargains.  The more sites you sign up to, the more information you will receive with a wider range of choice.

Online wine sites are many and varied.  It can take a fair amount of time to wade through the many different sites to find exactly what you’re after.  The best way to go about this is to start by searching for your favourite wines, then your favourite wineries, then your favourite regions.  You can even research for a combination of wineries and type of wine, or regions and type of wine.  You’re bound to find what you’re searching for.

Online wine sites can encompass any of the following:
1. Wine direct from the winery from their own website.
2. Wine direct from the winery via an affiliate website that takes commission from the winery for the sale.
3. Companies that buy the wine from the winery, then on sell it via their website.
4. Auction houses which sell off stock no longer required from the winery or garnered through special deals.

Auctioned wine can be a little hit and miss as there is no guarantee how the wine has been stored.  The problem with buying older style wines from auction houses is knowing how the wine has been stored over time.

The best places to purchase online wine are through companies that stock a variety of wine which is of the newest vintage as you really can’t go wrong.  Check the terms and conditions of sites to see if there’s a guarantee on quality.

Shopping for wine online shouldn’t cause one too much concern in todays world.  Buying online should either be an extension of a vineyard trip you’ve already had, while also providing you with great value.

This is just a bit of information to help ease the concerns of some people about buying things online, especially wine.  More and more quality wine sites are appearing all the time, so why not give it a try and see the quality for yourself.

Online Wine Stores – A Secured Website and How To Know One.

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Over the past 15 years, the Internet has exploded and pretty much become a necessity in our everyday lives. We used to call people from our only phone in the house to catch up on recent events and news. Paper mail was used to send cards to wish people Happy Birthday or Merry Christmas. The local library used to be used as our reference point for studying and a place to go to borrow books to read up on topics we were interested in.

We used to walk through shopping centers and malls to find things that we like, go to the register and pay cash for items that we’d like to buy. While some of these things still remain part of our lives, the Internet has changed how we do day to day things dramatically. Could you go without Facebook, Twitter or dare I say it, email, for more than a couple of weeks?

The shopping side of our lives is slowly changing, such is the world of “comfort from our own homes” online shopping. The wine industry is no different in this world of online shopping, although it has been a little slower to catch on than a lot of other industries.

The difficulty with the wine industry is that the product range is beyond comprehension. Walk in to a bottle shop and about 50% or more of the floor space is taken up by wine, such is the product range. This also brings a level of complexity to the online wine world.

With this in mind, there is a large world out there when it comes to online wine stores. There are literally hundreds of stores offering an almost exclusive range of wine, and some at a very exclusive price. So what is the easiest ways to tell the better ones from the not so good ones?

Therein lies the ultimate question and one which could be asked of any industry on the internet. As with any online store, security is the most important thing. The most important part of any online store is what’s referred to as the digital certificate. This certificate encrypts (or digitally jumbles up) any information that is sent between the person buying and the store so that hackers cannot read the important information as its being sent across the internet.

How can you tell if a store has a digital certificate? At the time of purchase (especially when you are entering credit card details), the web site address should change from http:// to https://. If you enter a screen which asks for your credit card details, check if the address starts with https://, if it doesn’t, don’t continue. Refuse to buy from that store as they are putting your private information at risk. It’s not the store that can’t be trusted, its people on the net that target stores like this to “listen in on” and steal your information.

If you stick to that one golden rule in relation to security on the internet, you will be well on your way to enjoying your shopping experience with online wine stores without the worry of somebody “looking over your shoulder”.
