The Vinorati Blog

Today Business Week online magazine has published an article and slide show on the growing trend of social networking sites for oenophiles. Since these sites first appeared in mid-2006 there has been growing enthusiasm and interest in innovative uses of new web technologies to allow wine lovers to connect and make new discoveries. We are pleased (but of course not suprised!) to see the Vinorati website highlighted as one of the key players in this “wine 2.0″ niche market.

While we have maintained Vinorati as a family operation, others have managed to get significant amounts of funding. Although we are not interested in making the compromises that would be required to enter into the very competitive mass market we are pleased to see that investors in the U.S. feel like there is promise in the future of online wine social networks, like Vinorati. We will continue to work on and improve our multinational multilingual site in a way that we hope you continue to find useful and fun. Of course we always welcome feedback!
