Information
PfW RECOMMENDS
WineAccess does not sell wine,
per se, but bills itself as "the most complete shopping guide to fine wine on the web..." In fact, it is a sophisticated data
base that integrates a very large list of wines with reviews and information from professionals and amateurs and a network of
merchant sources, customized by ZIP code. Well-designed and easy to navigate.
PfW RECOMMENDS
Wine Release
lists imminent offerings from over 640 sought-after wineries.
PfW HIGHLY RECOMMENDS
 WineSearcher
is a regularly-updated database of containing hundreds of thousands
of wine listings from thousands of merchants world-wide. Both
fast and very user-friendly, if a wine is not listed here, it
probably can't be found. Also handy for assessing the value of
a bottle or cellar, the "Free Mode" limits searches
to sponsoring retailers (over 150); "Professional Mode"
requires an annual fee for full access.
PfW RECOMMENDS
WineZap lets
you find, price, and compare wines online across hundreds
of retailers in the U.S.A.; also offers various browsing modes
to search by good value, food match, gift suitable, etc.
