WineCommune.com and eRobertParker.com Announce Agreement

Integration will improve online fine wine research and buying.

San Francisco CA (PRWEB) September 29, 2003-- Today WineCommune.com announced an agreement with eRobertParker.com, the on-line presence of wine critic Robert Parker, focused on improving fine wine research, and buying and selling wine on the Internet. WineCommune.com announced that beginning in September, the two companies will work together to achieve two primary goals: providing WineCommune.com members access to their eRobertParker.com subscriptions through WineCommune.com, and providing eRobertParker.com members access to WineCommune.coms wine marketplace through eRobertParker.com. This unique combination will allow fine wine lovers unparalleled access to wine reviews, pricing information and purchasing avenues.

Robert Parker Tasting Notes and Ratings Available on WineCommune.com

Effective immediately, WineCommune.com users who are eRobertParker.com subscribers will be able to view Robert Parkers unique and internationally renowned tasting notes and ratings while browsing wines available for sale on WineCommune.com. The full history of the ratings and tasting notes will be displayed every time an eRobertParker subscriber views an auction lot for sale on WineCommune.com that has been rated by Robert Parker. This marks the first time that the entire database of Robert Parkers ratings and tasting notes will be available outside of his publication, The Wine Advocate, or eRobertParker.com. Further, other than WineCommune, no other wine retailer or auction house offers access to Robert Parkers full tasting notes and ratings for each of the wines available for sale.

WineCommune.coms Wine Buying and Selling Marketplace Available at eRobertParker.com

Visitors to eRobertParker.com will have access to a version of WineCommune.coms wine buying and selling marketplace through the eRobertParker.com website, giving consumers access to thousands of wines for sale. eRobertParker.com users will be able to browse and buy from the wines available and sell their own wine on WineCommune.com. WineCommune.coms sellers will have access to eRobertParker.coms educated and savvy wine buying audience, who, in turn, will have access to a large marketplace of competitively priced wine.

With this agreement, wine enthusiasts will, for the first time ever, have complete access to wine information when they purchase wine, giving them the tools necessary to make informed purchasing decisions.
