Startups rise from the evolution of online sales and consumer services
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”9px”][vc_column_text]13% of French people buy their bottles online, which is twice the number of online wine buyers in 2015 (according to the Sowine barometer). Wine industry goes digital and can now provide netizens with a much deeper and more complete knowledge on products (the winery, the winemaker, or the variety of grape for example) as well as greater transparency on prices.
Now “information about wine and winegrowers is accessible to everyone on the Internet and no longer reserved for the initiated happy few through technical and specialized magazines” according to Loïc Tanguy (founder of Les Grappes). Finding a specific wine or just a good bottle is often a hassle for those who have no extensive knowledge of wine. Winalist gives you its selection of sales or barter platforms that illustrates the best current digital trends of the wine industry.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”9px”][vc_column_text]
