Wine & Spirits profiles Vinfolio's Marketplace

Categories: Blogging/PR

Wine & Spirits' Fall 2009 issue contains a full page story titled New Market: The online confluence of CellarTracker and Vinfolio.  It's a well-written summary of our Marketplace model and the logic behind why partnering with CellarTracker made sense for both parties.

Speaking of Marketplace, just today we released a range of new features which will be described in a series of blog posts on the Vinfolio Blog soon.

What's your opinion on how to list Vinfolio Marketplace wine on Winesearcher?

Categories: Marketplace

In the past 10 days or so, we have been going back and forth with Winesearcher about how "for sale" wine in the Vinfolio Marketplace should be listed on their site.  We have a difference of opinion which has resulted for now in only listing "for sale" wine which has either a bid price or an asking price instead of all wine marked for sale.

While Vinfolio has a self-interest in having more listings, I happen to believe that any Winesearcher user would prefer to know a wine was potentially able to be purchased than to censor the information.  In any case, I suggested to Winesearcher that we air the topic on an independent wine board to expose the topic to a broader audience.  As the Squires board on eRobertParker.com determined my post violated their commercial policies (and deleted it within minutes), you can find my detailed post (and poll) on Wine Berserkers.

I'll be responding to comments on the Wine Berserkers thread as well as any which are posted here.

RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication". It is a way to easily distribute a list of headlines, update notices, and sometimes inventory changes to a wide number of people. Think of it as a one-stop shop for all the stuff you want to read online. For the consumer, an aggregator or reader, either web-based or installed on your computer, ties it all together.

To make use of this information, you have to download and install an RSS feed reader like SharpReader. Every so often, the aggregator checks the RSS feeds you selected. You log on to the aggregator and see the updates to your favorite sites, blogs and stores, all in one place. For more information on RSS, please visit:
