We're delighted to be named in the "10 best online wine shops" by Food & Wine magazine in their June 2007 issue. Read the excerpt about Vinfolio or the full article. Vinfolio is also singled out for its strong wine guarantee in the first tip in a sidebar called "Tips: Things to know before you buy."
Updates to the article's content
- Our revenues have always been dominated by wine retailing (95+%), not storage. This is merely a reflection of where wine collectors spend their cash (i.e., on consumption). We do offer full-service storage services, in part to support our retail activities. E.g., we provide 6 months of free storage on purchases to enable shipment during moderate weather conditions.
- Our "recently launched" web store was released in September 2006 and was our second generation online store (admittedly, a huge improvement over the first one).
- Every customer is assigned a wine specialist to provide wine recommendations and advice by phone or email (there's no minimum spend requirement). The article is actually referring to our Collection Building advisory service which is a more involved "consulting" exercise performed at no charge provided a minimum of $10,000 is spent on initial wine purchases.
If you're not already a customer, please give us a try and learn what we mean my our guiding principle, "Fine wine, finer service."
