The sommelier community often comment on how they value wine.co.za's wine fact sheets which are reliable and easy to find and all in one place when planning their wine lists.
"Having accurate reliable data is an integral part of constructing a wine list. When it comes to wine, change is not only inevitable but also frequent, vintage changes, blend changes, alcohol percentages. In the old days a somm would have multiple tabs open trying to get the latest and most accurate information. Wine.co.za solves this problem with incredible detail all in one place. It makes the work of the sommelier that little bit easier." - Spencer Fondaumiere, South African Sommeliers Association chair
