WineWeb.com Poised to Leverage Supreme Court Decision on Wine Shipments

Santa Fe, NM - May 18, 2005 - The Supreme Court's decision to allow out-of-state wineries consistent access to wine consumers was greeted enthusiastically by The WineWeb. The Web site, WineWeb.com, which provides consumers access to buy wine online direct from wineries and from wine merchants, saw traffic to the site double on Monday, the day of the Court's decision. Wineries can use The WineWeb's services to promote their wines to consumers in states affected by the ruling.

"The WineWeb's destination-focused architecture makes it convenient for wineries to provide online ordering of their wines, and to expand into additional states as they open their borders", states Ron Kreutzer, WineWeb's founder. "This is great news for small and medium-sized wineries who have been ignored by the major wine wholesalers."

With information on over 22,000 wineries integrated into the Web site, visitors use The WineWeb as a wine search engine. Wineries can economically add e-commerce functions to their Web site and gain exposure to The WineWeb's visitors. Consumers are able to find these wines, then buy these wines online.
