WineFamily is one of the most advanced and interactive wine e-commerce platforms in the world

WineFamily is a multi-vendor social commerce site, or in layman’s terms, an open online marketplace for wine

UPLOAD your product to your WineFamily shop

Set the VOLUME so that you never oversell. If you’ve got 2, 20, 200 or 2000 cases to clear, our system will automatically deplete the volume and remove the sale once all stock is sold out.

Set the PRICE you are happy to sell at - buyers will value quality, but discounted products usually sell more quickly

04 The Most Efficient Marketing Tools Ever

Grapevine is a common twitter-like communication platform across buyers, sellers and products. It allows:

Sellers to market directly to their followers: “New Product Just Released - Try It Now!” “20% extra off my last two cases of this Beaujolias Beauty” All sent instantly to your network of buyers.

Buyers can follow friends, family, trusted sources and shops so they can share information on wines - meaning they can build knowledge and confidence to buy

Buyers are automatically added to a shop’s grapevine when they purchase, meaning that shops can market to previous buyers in an instant

WineFamily’s ‘community’ functions build wine culture and awareness, with an opportunity to invite our wide audience to your latest promotional event.
