Fine
Wine Online
 www.finewineonline.co.nz
SOTW
Sept 04: The Auckland-based Fine Wine Delivery Company has operated Fine
Wine Online since 1998, one of the country's most comprehensive online
wine shopping sites. Set up and run by Jeff Poole, with daughter Tracey
and other family members, FWDC has become known for its range, competitive
pricing, and commitment to wine education, appreciation, and evaluation.
All wines sold have been tasted by the team, and tasing notes are attached
to each item in the shop. Regular wine maker hosted tastings and wine and
food evenings are held in their own Cellar Lounge. As well as the bricks-and-mortar
version of the wine shop, FWDC also operates Fine Wine Cellar Storage,
a state of the art temperature/humidity controlled wine storage facility
with 54 individual cellar rooms rented to private clients.
 The
Fine Wine Online site was relaunched this month, with a new design and
a new 'Wine Categorisation' function developed by FWDC, and believed to
be a world-first. Previously, as with most online shopping sites, you could
search for a particular wine by key word, or browse all wines under broad
categories (eg., red wines). Now, when you find a wine that appeals, you
can view a selection of similarly styled/priced wines by clicking on the
link below that says "View more wines like this". The proprietary
categorisation software accurately groups wines into similar style and
relative price point categories. The shopping process is nicely laid out,
easy to follow and includes a gift/wrap/card option. The site also covers
various specials, ordering and shipping info', the FWDC wine tasting programme,
wine and food matching, wine gifts & accessories, wine news and events,
and a regular newsletter (Jeff's column).
