World wine web, that isn’t typo, bringing wine online! It’s new kind of online service provided by Crushpad. Crushpad helps its registered members to have at least virtual experience of running their own winery, which is just a mouse click away. If you’re a member of Crushpad, you can make at least one barrel of wine a year. It will cost around $5,000.00 to $10,000.00 to produce one barrel a year. Members can monitor their winery by e-mail updates, live chat and web cams provided by Crushpad’s staff. Members can also fly over to visit their winery during vacation. Crushpad even lets members decide what style of wine they want and what kind of grapes they wanna use.
This is a pretty cool and revolutionary idea of bringing wine online. On the other hand, one more interesting story is, an Australian winemaker, Stuart Bourne, has recently made use of the Internet technology for tasting his wine online. What he did was to have all his invited tasters sent with his wine samples and tasted the wine together with those tasters online using web chat and web cam. The bad side was he had to stay up to 4am in order be in sync with tasters in the United Kingdom and North America.
