Wine.com Declared Best Wine Website Worldwide

SAN FRANCISCO, June 22, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Wine.com, the nation's number one online retailer, received 1^st place in the 6^th edition of the e-Performance Barometer international rankings of wine websites conducted by the prestigious KEDGE Business School. The 2017 results were announced at VINEXPO, the bi-annual international exhibition attended by more than 45,000 wine and spirits professionals. The report, released on June 21, is now available.

To conduct the analysis, over 2,300 internet users in nine countries (France, Spain, Germany, the UK, Italy, Australia, the United States, Canada and China) evaluated 23 e-commerce wine websites selected from over 400 candidates. The study analyzed and ranked each site on seven performance criteria: information, navigation, product offering, aesthetics, security and privacy, interactivity and reliability.

"I am thrilled to see Wine.com recognized on the world stage at Vinexpo. Whether from my family estates in Burgundy, the Rhone Valley or the South of France or from our historic California wineries of Buena Vista Winery, DeLoach Vineyards or Raymond Vineyards, Wine.com has continually represented the breadth of our family wines," said Jean-Charles Boisset, proprietor of Boisset Collection. He added, "Wine.com is passionate about telling the stories of vintners like us and the future of e-commerce holds dynamic growth opportunities."

"The e-Performance Barometer highlights many of the key differentiators that we set out to accomplish – offering the largest selection, live chat guidance, and rich content -- conveniently delivered," said Michael Osborn, Wine.com Founder and VP Merchandising. "We continue to inspire the wine lifestyle through innovation, and this award further validates our strategy."
