My guest post on how to buy wine online is live over at the Crushpad blog. Here's an excerpt:
For many of us online shopping has become a big part of our lives. And while buying from Amazon has become the norm, you may still be hesitant about shifting your wine buying online – after all, this is precious cargo we’re talking about here! But buying wine online doesn’t have to be intimidating. It can, however, take some work and has some caveats. Here are some tips and tricks that should help you begin the process painlessly.Read The Rest!
Good advice, Jon. I love buying wine online, but most people don't. The main reason is you're more likely to get a too-good-to-be-true selection online than in a shop you trust, and for people who don't know a lot about wine online buying is daunting (unless they're buying something you recommend, for example). As an online retailer myself, I've heard a lot more reasons not to buy online than reasons to actually buy. And with the state shipping laws being so screwy -- and there are definitely wineries and retailers who break the law routinely -- it's not always easy, either.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom. Yeah, I think it's one of those things that seems daunting until you actually do it and then you're hooked :)
ReplyDeleteHi Jon, A late comment I know but all very sound advice. Most of my customers know what they want so use google or wine searcher to find the wine of choice. Roger
