WineFetch Launches Ultimate Online Resource for Wine Lovers
New Site Compares Wine Prices and Offers Personalized Wine Community
New York, NY – February 14, 2006 – WineFetch, Inc. today announced the launch of WineFetch.com, an innovative online wine search engine and community for wine enthusiasts. WineFetch.com is the first online resource that helps wine lovers find their favorite bottles, easily compare prices from hundreds of retailers, keep records of their wine preferences and share their knowledge with other consumers – all in one place. Other personalized tools include the ability to rate wine bottles, add tasting notes, manage a personal cellar collection and contribute to the WineFetch.com wine blog.
Wine is growing in popularity. According to Gallup’s 2005 Consumption Habits poll, wine has surpassed beer as an American drinking preference. Thirty-nine percent of American drinkers said they consume wine most often, while thirty-six percent said they usually drink beer.
“WineFetch’s mission is to build online features that wine lovers need and enjoy,” said Conor Gaughan, WineFetch co-founder and COO. “The new generation of wine lover is looking online to learn about wine, find great deals, and engage the greater wine community – WineFetch is pleased to lead the charge.”
Exciting new WineFetch.com features include:
• Simplified and easy to use “Browse” and “Refine” tools for search results
• Shipping filter to help users find results for their particular location
• Email alerts to automatically inform the user when a favorite bottle is found at a specific price
• RSS feeds to enable users to track searches continuously
WineFetch.com is already one of the largest databases of wine for sale online in the United States, providing free search results for over 500,000 bottles from hundreds of online merchants in one simple search. The founding partners behind the effort, Conor Gaughan and Steven Goodman, share not only a passion for wine but also a belief that new media will improve the wine industry and the ability of wine enthusiasts to access it.
“WineFetch’s leading proprietary technology has been designed to empower the wine enthusiast. The new price comparison tool is fully integrated with WineFetch’s tasting notes and cellar management tool, creating a personalized experience for every individual,” said Steven Goodman, co-founder and CTO. “This new technology offers dynamic ways for wine lovers to be part of this exciting community and discover new wines at the best prices.”
