Auckland, New Zealand (PRWEB via PRWebDirect) November 14, 2006 -- Wine-Searcher (www.wine-searcher.com) reveals that the number of wine sellers listed in its search engine has reached 8,000. The site’s range of listings, from 65 countries across the world, gives the user greater price transparency than was previously available.
Traditionally the availability, distribution and pricing of sought-after wines was hidden from those outside a small group of international wine brokers.
Since 2002, Wine-Searcher has been the main reference source used by the wine market to establish value. The transparency offered by the site has increased the globalization of the wine market, providing better and more complete pricing information to traders and consumers.
“It’s great to have reached this target but we’re not stopping here. We’re continuing to increase the range and depth of our listings and intend to stay at the forefront of internet wine price comparison sites,” says Martin Brown, CEO of Wine-Searcher.
