More Australian Consumers Buying Wine Online

The online-shopping fever has shaken the entire globe, by completely overshadowing the offline, or so-called direct purchases. This applies to all products that can be seen and purchased on the Internet, including wine and spirits too.

When it comes to the online purchase of wine, it is not wrong to say that the great number of online wine buyers has made online sales way more popular than direct purchases from the vineyard cellars. According to the results of a recently made survey, one in five true wine lovers (persons that drink wine regularly) buy their preferred bottles of spirit exceptionally online.

One of the top reasons that make wine passionates buy wine online are the special discounts that online purchases are usually accompanied with and customers can benefit from. In other words, online wine discounts give a better value for customers' money, which is definitely a great advantage of the online shopping.

Another significant reason to buy wine online is knowledge. When shopping for a particular bottle(s) of wine via Internet, interested customers have an unlimited freedom to collect different information about specific grape varieties, winemakers, brands and wineries. Hence, an easier way to compare wine quality and of course, wine prices. Latest surveys have shown that almost 20% of online wine buyers use various apps for different wine information on their smartphones and tablets. All in all, for regular wine drinkers, it is way more cost-effective to buy wine online, as is for novices, who can learn more, thus make the right buying decision.

Shopping for your favourite wine via Internet allows you to save significant amounts of time and effort that you will normally spend if choosing to get it from the conventional wine outlet. Also, let's not forget that direct wine purchases from local wine stores are limited in offer, so you should not exclude the possibility to not be lucky enough and find the specific wine you are looking for. On the other hand, chances to quickly and easily get the wine you want are greater if choosing the Internet as your preferred buying source.
