Providing shoppers with a place to not only get prices and buy but, also discover just about anything there is to know about any particular wine.

Each time a shopper employs the search tools on the Wines.com Home Page, a PRODUCT INDEX OF WINE LISTING LINKS is produced - each with major summary details like where to buy, pricing, vintage, etc.

Upon a mouse-click of any WINE LISTING LINK, the shopper is transported to a PRODUCT SUMMARY PAGE which features all the essential data a customer needs to make an informed buying decision, including:

• Additional Product Images
• Price and Shipping details
• A more-detailed Written Description
• Summary Industry Reviews (92 Points, WE)
• Regional, Appellation and Varietal Details
• Special Designations (collectable, organic, kosher)
• Links to Related Videos at WINES.COM TV
• Related FORUM Posts
• Related WIKI Posts
• Social Book Marks and RSS Feed Links

PLUS, every Product Summary Page includes even more indispensable information in one easy-to-navigate TABBED CONTENT AREA, including:

• More-detailed Industry Reviews from trusted wine rating sources
• Customer Reviews with Star Ratings and Comments
• Food Pairings and Related Recipe Links
• Similar or Related Wines available from this Merchant
• ABOUT THE WINERY - the wine maker behind the bottle

AND

• ABOUT THE WINE MERCHANT, Tabbed Content Area!

Again, Wines.com will provide each Wine Merchant Partner with a dedicated account manager who will oversee the entire integration process, AND actually build the TABBED CONTENT AREA section for them!
