VinoGusto.com - Interactive Community for Wine Lovers

Vinogusto, launched in January last year, is an interactive community website aimed at promoting the enjoyment of wine, including through oenotourism. Registered users have their own page where they can share wine experiences, such as by reviewing a visit to a particular winery or rating a wine they drank. You can search wines by name, country of origin, color, and price, or browse by tags or “Hot wines.” Wine professionals can use the site as a promotion tool, with prices ranging from 50 to 450 Euros per year for various promotion plans. Vingogusto.com is currently available in four languages: English, French, Spanish, and Dutch. It features around 24,000 wines and over 37,000 wineries, with numbers growing regularly as users contribute.

"Vinogusto is working to offer the consumers the best information available to choose their wine and discover the world of wine, and the professionals the most profitable way of promoting their activity."

This site currently has around 3,000 registered members, and is receiving around 5,000 hits per day (about 150,000 per month). These numbers and the niche market attracted to a wine lovers’ site could make VinoGusto.com an attractive place for advertisers.

What sets this site apart from other interactive, informational sites for wine lovers? Is the field of wine-focused sites getting too crowded?
