The WineWeb has recently combined online functions to allow consumers to find wine, buy wine, and talk about wine. By integrating these components, The WineWeb becomes a virtual community for people interested in wine.With information on over 22,000 wineries integrated into the Web site, visitors use The WineWeb as a wine search engine. Current inventories from wine merchants are loaded into the site and can be searched to find wine matching a consumer's tastes. The addition of wine discussion forums called "the Forums @ WineWeb" provides visitors the ability to discuss wine topics and view wine information posted by others. "The WineWeb can now truly be viewed as a 'first and only stop' for wine novices or wine connoisseurs", states Ron Kreutzer, WineWeb's founder.

"Consumers can research the wines, wineries and wine regions, discuss wine with others, then



make an informed purchase of wine."For more information and to find, discuss, and buy wine online, go to www.wineweb.com.About The WineWeb:WineWeb Enterprises, Inc., founded in 1995, provides Internet services to wine consumers, wineries, and wine merchants.
