If you think that buying wine online is complex or confusing, don't worry: it's happened to everyone. Let's see how to extricate ourselves and not make mistakes.
Buying wine online is complex first of all because the territories are dotted with wineries (255 thousand in Italy alone), which is fortunate but means that there are many wines to choose from .
1. How do wine e-commerce sites work?
Catalog e-commerce stores are online stores where you choose which wine to buy from digital "shelves". To buy in wine e-commerce sites you need to know in advance what to buy: without advice you always tend to buy what you already know .
If you don't know what to buy, therefore, know that it is normal, precisely because of how purchasing is set up on those platforms, similar to an online supermarket. If you don't know what to buy, you end up choosing based on promotions , label graphics or, in the best of cases, the origin of the wines and denominations , i.e. a valid but partial quality scale, which does not always correspond to the real one .
