Vintage Seekers Launches 'Shop By Celebration' Wine Platform

Feb. 14, 2012 - PRLog -- Launching in late January 2012, at the core of Vintage Seekers' wine proposition is the belief that one does not need to be a connoisseur to source and purchase the best vintages with confidence.

Whether it’s a 1982 Chateau Cos d'Estournel for a 30th wedding anniversary, a 2002 Dom Pérignon Rosé for the 10th, a 1972 Domaine Boingnères Cépages Nobles to mark a friend turning 40, or a 1947 Vieux Chateau Certan for your father’s 65th, you’ll find a concise and reliably curated selection.

Until now, gifting someone a wine from their birth year or wedding anniversary required a directionless and time-consuming trawl on the internet through pages of results of different merchants and wine guides. Vintage Seekers has radically streamlined the process, curating a specific collection sourced from its network of leading wine merchants and taking in the most renowned regions and producers. The result is a simple one-stop platform providing an amazing wine or spirit for every significant occasion.

Launching with a collection geared towards the special anniversaries of 2012, the Vintage Seekers wine matrix will be updated annually in order to stay relevant to each year’s celebrations.

Tom Harrow, Vintage Seekers’ wine consultant, said: “Imagine your best friend is just about to get married and you want to give him a fantastic case of wine to open on his 10th wedding anniversary with his wife. They could keep half the case and drink on their 15th and 20th anniversaries too. Another scenario would be that following the birth of your godson you’d love to have a really great bottle of port for his 21st birthday. It’s a gift that matures, and gets better with age – hopefully like the marriage or the godson!”

Of course, not every vintage yields a celebration-worthy wine, so for these less successful years Vintage Seekers proposes a suitably show-stopping Armagnac, whisky, or prestige multi-vintage Champagne instead, meaning no milestone is neglected.

The prestigious producers and estates listed on the site include Billecart Salmon, Comtes Lafon, Chateau Margaux,  Sicilia Ridge, Warre’s, Glenfarclas and Baron Sigognac.

Finally, for any years or celebrations not covered in the chart, Vintage Seekers’ concierge ‘Seeker Service’ is able to source specific vintages to order.
