Wine Culture

"Wineshop.it – A certification from AltroConsumo, the well-known customer information magazine, is an excellent business card. This internet site, with its clear and essential graphics, can show this on its home page, embellished by antique paintings which are in theme with the wine and which can also be downloaded as a screensaver. This is one of the many intelligent interactive services offered by this site. Those who know what they want may use the direct research, while those who aren’t so sure can opt for a virtual enological tour of the Italian regions. The catalogue offers almost 300 great wine labels selected by professional sommeliers that have chosen to give particular attention to small producers of great quality. The wine charts, which are very detailed, are rich in advice on how to match, how to conserve and serve the wine. There is also a part dedicated to what glass to use for every wine. The site offers many hints for those who love wine, with historical news, proposed by itineraries which go hand in hand with the pleasures of art and taste. There is also a test to see how well you do with enological knowledge. The online window also collects stories and photos sent by customers. There are also promotional sales, menus with wine matching which change every month and discounts for Wineshop members. Minimum purchase is 6 bottles of wine but they can be different. In case of 6 bottles of the same wine, shipping and handling (in the appropriate packing) is free of charge in Italy, otherwise it varies according to the quantity and the country of destination. The expenses are separately calculated automatically so that they can be checked before order confirmation. It’s also possible to check the state of delivery by using online tracking on the sites of the delivery partners."
