With online wine merchants curating online wine-buying experiences, we’d admit that we’ve given in to the conveniences and ease of getting our bottles online. But yes, there are pros and cons to everything — including purchasing your wines online.
We’ll start with the con first because well, the only (and biggest) limitation we have right now is the time taken for delivery. Yes, it’s true that you can’t get your bottles immediately like what you get at a brick and mortar store, but we are sure the many benefits of buying wine online are enough to make you forget this limitation.
It’s just about taking a little more effort to plan your ordering schedules and you’ll get to enjoy your new bottles in time.
Discover new wines in the comfort of your armchair
Yes, some of us are loyal to that few favourite bottles but it is easy to get bored of routine. When that happens, you can easily go online and discover the new potential bottles within seconds, anywhere and anytime as long as an internet connection exists.
Filter within seconds
No more feeling overwhelmed with the huge selections at brick and mortar stores anymore. If you already have something in mind, you can apply some filters and ta-da, you get the bottles properly filtered out for you to choose from. It’s easy, fuss-free and saves a lot of time.
Information in a few clicks
Filtered out the potential candidates? Now it’s time for the real selection process. It’s great when you can sit down, take your time, and get to choose the bottles that shout out to you. Concerned about the regions and tasting notes? Fret not, because we’ve got them all accurately listed out in the description section.
Compare easily
Still can’t make up your mind? Well, just open a few tabs to easily compare the wine information. No more walking around the stores and racking your brains just to find that few perfect bottles.
The selection is… huge
At UrbanFindr, we have a curated selection of different bottles from around the world — like every different individual, each bottle is unique in their own ways. That said, our selection can cater to everyone. You’ll definitely find something you like in our catalog.
It’s more than just wines
We have a premium selection of other boozes including a wide variety of spirits, sakes, shochus and even bottled cocktails. If you’re not in the mood for wine, feel free to give the other boozes a try.
Insider’s tip: The sakes on the UrbanFindr store are so premium, you can only get them at fine Japanese restaurants — so we’d totally recommend you to give them a try. We love this bottle — Hakugakusen Slightly Sparkling Black. We love how the complex flavour profiles are balanced by the slight hint of minerals, along with its slightly sparkling mouthfeel, this sake is really a pleasantly unique one.
The ease of making your wine purchases online brings about great conveniences and saves you a whole load of time. Minus the traveling time to your local wine store, along with the time for you to choose the perfect bottles, it’s worth it. Sure, we’d admit that delivery time might be a turn-off, but with your bottles properly packaged, delivered at a reasonable price while you get to Netflix and drink, why not?
