Surge in Popularity of Online Wine Shops as Customers Change Shopping Habits

Oct. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- The internet has changed the way we live in many ways, not least the way we shop. Nowadays most of us shop online for items such as books, gifts, clothes and even our weekly food shop, encouraged by safer payment methods, reliable websites and increased choice and value. One of the most recent ways shopping habits have changed is that more people buy wine online than ever before, with a marked increase in the popularity of online wine shops such as BestCellars.co.uk.

It’s no surprise that buying wine by internet is becoming more widespread. Wine shops on the high street have a limitation as to how much stock they can carry, and therefore advertise to their customers. The high street wine merchants may be able to get us that elusive bottle of wine we have been looking for, but if we don’t see it on their shelves, how many of us bother to ask, instead of walking away or plumping for something else. Online wine merchants such as Best Cellars can advertise a far wider range of wines and Champagnes on their website, with just as much detailed description and helpful information on each product as you would find on the shelves (and often considerably more!).

Order wine online and you’re also often more likely to get a bargain. Far more than just the literal ‘bin’ of bin ends that you find in high street shops, online wine shop Best Cellars have an entire ‘Bin Ends’ section of their website, always brimming with continually changing wines at unmissable prices. BestCellars.co.uk also features special offer wine cases at amazing discounts.

Finally, online wine shops save you having to trawl round shops, one of the main attractions for many an online shopper. From the comfort of your home or office you can simply browse and compile your shopping list for wines and champagnes, for you or for someone else (buying wine gifts online is also an increasing trend), and in a few clicks you’re done! BestCellars.co.uk allows you to have your wine delivered the next day, or send wine and get your wine gifts delivered directly to the recipient.



Jonathan Richards, co-owner of Best Cellars, explains: “Best Cellars have enjoyed a long and successful independent high street business, and continue to do so with two busy shops in South Devon. In 1999, we added another string to the Best Cellars bow by creating an e-commerce website. The two sides of our business have always worked alongside each other harmoniously - in recent years we have seen an exponential rise in the number of people choosing to order wine online. We are proud to be able to offer entirely secure payment methods and a personal service that is as hands-on in our online business as it is in our high street store.”
