Wine Technology Blog @ WineWeb.com

As you can see from the lack of blog posts recently, this activity has a lower priority than providing great services to our clients.  I tend to focus on doing versus talking about how things should be done.

Lately I've seen more than a couple of companies in the wine technology space boldly claim to be the biggest, the best, the most comprehensive, etc, but without any facts to back it up. It's kind of disturbing to know that some people believe that hype without question. An example: several websites boldly claim to have the largest directory of wineries, but publish no facts to support that claim. A quick comparison to the WineWeb winery directory in any region almost always shows that we have more wineries.

In fact one of those companies actually called us to see if we would provide them with additional entries for their directory. I guess that is better than the companies that just try to use a program to steal our directory.  Anyway, unless someone else can show that they have more than 34,000 wineries like we do, then maybe the bragging rights should stay with WineWeb.

I could continue this rant with a discussion of how this applies to winery services providers, but I'll save that for another day.
