just wine

During recent years buying wine online has become a craze amongst all types of people including teenagers and internet savvies. Wine aficionados can now purchase wine from their comfort zone at a click of the button anytime around the year. Here below you can find some top tips which will be of great help to you while you buy wine online.

Shop around at different shops:

With Christmas season nigh approaching you can find different varieties of wines in online stores. If you plan to buy it at a later time, your favourite wines may be out of stock. So it is good to start shopping for wine at least 30 days before the Christmas season. By purchasing your wine earlier one can avail of various discounts and offers that are usually given ahead of season. Do not go and purchase directly from an online shop, compare the prices of wine with at least 5 Wine merchants and choose the best wine at the best rate.

Make sure your internet connection and system is completely secured

Install a high quality antivirus and firewall software to your system to ensure that your system is free from unwanted attacks by malware, spyware and other Trojans when you are going to purchase online.

Regularly scan your system and keep it free from viruses, good internet security software can prevent the theft of your passwords and unauthorised attacksby strangers.

Check the payment methods on the online website

Before you buy wine online, check there is a secure payment method at the online store. The majority of them have guaranteed secured payment either through credit cards or PayPal. If there is no such payment procedure then there will be a delay in receiving your wine from this online store.

Look at the terms and conditions of the online store

Always go through the terms and conditions before you make any purchases at the online store. Look for how long it will take to get your goods delivered and also ensure if the payment has to be done before the delivery of goods. Enquire with the supplier at what time of the day you can expect delivery of your wine, it will make sure that you can arrange somebody even in your absence to receive the wine because you may be liable for the costs if the wine gets returned to the wine merchant.

When you receive your wine at your home ensure it is in a good condition, check whether the seals are intact and if any are broken do not accept the delivery, but instead, call your wine merchant and inform them.

Question by Pat S: How do you get carded buying wine online?
I am a 19 year old aspiring sommelier. Unfortunately, I no longer live in the parents’ house, and as such my access to decent wines to improve my skills and knowledge has become somewhat limited. If you purchase wine online and have it delivered, are you carded at any point? I can’t imagine they can sell without confirmation, but I’m daring to dream…

Best answer:

Answer by Mike

Most people are often seen running out of ideas on what to gift. For all such people, gifting something really special to your loved ones would be considered to be a prudent move. For instance, you can also think about gifting them with a bottle of wine. When you opt for wine online, that won’t definitely sound something that has happened out of the blue. On the contrary, it is in fact a very expected and common gift item.

Recent years has also witnessed a phenomenal growth of people gifting a bottle of wine accompanied with an assortment of chocolates or a box of premium cheese. This method of gifting has entered the classic gift list of all ages. It is not surprising to see bottle of wine has evolved over years as an integral part of any occasion. Also, there are scores of people who opine that no celebration and no ceremony is complete without a toast. When you gift a bottle of wine, you can leave behind all your apprehensions and worries. It will certainly work wonders for you and its recipient is always going to appreciate your gift.

If you are going berserk thinking what the easiest way to get hold of such a gift is here is some great news for your ears. You can always trust your friend – the Internet. You just have to go to a search engine of your choice. Once you can see a search box, write down your query in it. This will prompt the display of search results within flash of few seconds. Select few websites at random, if you prefer. Scrutinize contents of website, especially details regarding price and shipment procedure. Of late, there are many service providers, who had followed a unique tested method of wooing their customers.

Most of these service providers are seen to offer various mouth watering offers and deals. Some of these deals are too tempting to resist. Moreover, they give free home delivery to win back customer satisfaction. Of course, you must first review the laws in your locality regarding shipping restrictions. Some laws about shipping restrictions usually lay down clearly different factors, for instance where the wine will be shipped to and from. Wherever possible, you should make a habit of checking out some of zip code restrictions prevalent in your locality. Try to unearth limits implemented in your state before you make final decision.

There’s a new kid on the e commerce block: a Johnny come lately who’s been probably the last of the major high street type retailers to turn his (or her) bricks and mortar into a virtual store front. The local wine shop, once the province of the town or village high street, is now successfully occupying a pretty lucrative niche in cyber space.

Why has the winery become so successful so quickly? There’s a sense in which the online wine supplier is almost more popular and better patronised than its high street equivalent – so what’s going on to make online vino easier to access than bottles in the real world?

First thing to look at is the ease with which a supplier, an online store, can source and retail a greater variety of styles and vintages.

This is a simple matter of space – storage space and warehousing space. A bricks and mortar store has a limited quantity of space, which means it can only display a limited number of bottles. An online wine store (like the Colchester based The Wine Company offers), on the other hand, has no limits to its space: a web site can display every single bottle, every single crate and vintage, on its pages because it has no actual walls and no floor space. The whole warehouse of an online winery is visible to its visitors, which means, of course, that they can buy whatever they want, whenever they want.

An online winery can introduce its customers to new wines; new styles and flavours with immediacy that brick built shops can’t match.

When a customer loads a web site, he or she is confronted by promotional items, special offers and intriguing flavours. The “store window” or front door of an online winery is inescapable – so every promotional bottle and case must be scrutinised by the visitor. Not only must it be scrutinised, but it can also be made to look hugely appealing, with compelling text and photographs guiding a customer towards the choice to buy.

The fact that a web site is built as much of text as it is of images allows an online wine store to impart information about its products. Buying wine in the high street is a somewhat information-free exercise – here, patrons are more or less expected to guess what new wines they might enjoy based on limited comparisons with their known palates. Online, on the other hand, a purchaser can be led to new vintages, styles and flavours using the comparative technology that generates “customers who bought x might also like y” that we are familiar with from major retail sites.

It seems that the Internet is the natural ground for wine selling to really flourish. Good news for all those people who like a nice drop of something.

You may think that the best way to refill your wine rack involves popping to your local supermarket or off licence and filling up your trolley. It may surprise you to learn that a better way to buy wine is to let your fingers do the walking and get onto the Internet. Online wine outlets are both easier and cheaper and certainly well worth trying out the next time you need wine for any occasion.

We have all been there; you have invited several friends over for a meal and you really want it to be the perfect evening. You have decided what you will be eating and have carefully chosen your cuts of meat from the butcher and your favourite dessert from the local deli. But suddenly it occurs to you that you have no idea what sort of wine you should be serving, where to buy it and how much you should be paying.

Most of us, faced with this set of circumstances, would go to the supermarket, buy several bottles of reasonably-priced wine and hope that it matches your food as well as the label suggests. The problem is that supermarkets are lacking in the expertise required to help you make these sorts of decisions. You need someone who knows wine inside out.

This is why it is a good idea to buy wines online. When you are deciding on the right type of wine, you can take advantage of the information an online wine club will have right there on itswebsite. You will have information about where the wine came from, what foods it matches well with and reviews from wine experts. Just reading this information could turn you into a wine buff in no time.

But it isn’t just the added information which makes online wine buying a good idea. You can also take advantage of the fact that they usually have great deals available to their customers and even money off if you buy in bulk or regularly. If you become a member you can often build up points or vouchers for each of your purchases which can be translated into money off.

You may think that buying wine online would be more expensive than going to a supermarket. The fact is that an online store doesn’t have to worry about paying for displays, shelf space, lighting, shop staff, training or expensive marketing. They have their wine in warehouses ready to be loaded onto the van and delivered to you.

The fact it is delivered to your home has to be one of the main advantages. If you are having a few people over and you need many bottles of wine it can be quite a chore to get them from the supermarket to your home. Flimsy plastic bags can burst open leaving your red wine in a puddle in the car park or you could hurt your back lifting the bottles from the car. This doesn’t even take into account the amount of time it takes to head to the shops and choose from all those bottles on the shelves. An online wine store will deliver to your home when you find it most convenient and you don’t even have to break a sweat.

Maybe you have a special occasion coming up and want to send wine to a friend as a gift. Many shops that allow you to buy wine online will also offer this kind of service. You could send a bottle of champagne (or even a dozen!) all boxed up and gift wrapped. If you think your friend might appreciate a little bit of diversity, you could opt for a selection box of different wine. Chances are you will be top of the list when it comes to best friends if that turns up on their doorstep.

If you really don’t know what to send a relative or friend for their birthday you can even invest in a wine voucher to email them. This will certainly get you out of a sticky spot if you have forgotten to get a gift. Online wine shops seem to have thought of everything.

Back to your dinner party: now that you have all of the wine delivered to the house, you have matched the reds and whites to what you are serving and you have learnt all the information from the website, you know you can carry off the part of the perfect host with no problems at all. Just remember to book those taxis well in advance unless you are happy for them to sleep on the sofa!

Buying wine and taking names

While Australia has more drinkers who buy wine than any other Western country, Aussie baby boomers are driving wine sales growth, not young consumers as once thought, says an industry researcher.

CEO of Wine Intelligence (market research group) Lulie Halstead, said older drinkers in Australia are moving away from traditional beer and spirits to wine. While speaking at a wine conference, she said “There’s a misnomer within the wine industry that it’s younger consumers that are driving all of market growth,”.

She said 66 per cent of Australian wine drinkers drink wine about once a month (66 per cent), with 59 per cent in the UK and 33 per cent in the US. Of Australia’s 10.8 million drinkers ofwine, aged between 48 to 49.

Health and alcohol ad campaigns including the highly successful drink driving campaign has assisted the shift from beer and spirits towine amongst baby boomers, Ms Halstead said. She said “Wine is seen as the more acceptable face of alcohol,”.

Wine Intelligence’s research also revealed growth in both red wine and white wine consumption in Asian countries, in particularly in China. She stated that a growing number of Chinese women are adopting wine as a part of their health and beauty regiment. “Red wine is seen as enhancing skin tone, digestion… a small glass of wine on the night stand before bed will aid the beauty regime,”.

Amongst Chinese men, being seen to be able to select wine for their girlfriend or wife is very important. She said these trends in Asia and China promise great opportunity for our wine industry to drive more wine exports but warned that Australian Wine Makers will need to understand what factors influences will impact this demand.

She also stated “If you don’t listen and understand the motivation of your consumer let that be at your peril,”. “If you don’t understand what’s driving drinkers to buywine, it doesn’t matter what we do in the wineries and the vineyards, we’re not going to connect with those consumers to achieve wine sales.”
