Win a WineCave
posted by philip in Snooth, Partnerships
If you’ve spent time on the blog or on the forums, you’ll have noticed we’ve been building a lively community on Snooth. And to make it even better, we need more people.
To make it more enticing to invite friends and colleagues who haven’t yet checked out the site, we’ve come up with a contest in partnership with the Wine Enthusiast Catalog.
In exchange for signing up new members to Snooth, you get credit towards a prize—something that we think just may tempt oenophiles the world over. The more people you sign up, the more chances you have to win. We’ll be drawing the winner on August 4th.
More specifically, the main prize is a EuroCave temperature-controlled Wine Cellar (valued at $1,200) which will keep your wines at the perfect temperature. Short of having your own drafty castle to age your wines, this will do the trick nicely. There are several smaller prizes as well.
More about the EuroCave:
According to the Wine Enthusiast Web site - The EuroCave Premier Wine Cave is a self-contained wine cellar that recreates the natural cooling environment of a chateau wine cellar. Suitable for small, growing, and extensive wine collections alike, these cellars are flawless in temperature and humidity control, remarkable in hand craftsmanship, and supremely beautiful.
The rules are straightforward. Sign up to Snooth, or if you are already a member just opt in to the contest, and you will have an entry to win the EuroCave. Sign some others up and you’ll have more chances.

I can’t win this, right? Bummer…
(It’s because I work here — the rules for contests are pretty strict on that!)
Wow … that is an awesome prize. I would soooo love to win that.
See, now Honda, you *can* actually win it. I’m a little jealous.
Yeah, this was the “secret prize” we were talking about a month or so back…
Its a pretty plush unit, and like Mark I know exactly where it’d fit in my apartment. So best of luck non Snooth employee Snoothers!
Family members and roommates of employees are also ineligible, unfortunately. Perhaps Snooth will buy a EuroCave as a bonus for its stellar employees, eh? eh?
I entered
Niiiice!
Can I win? I live in Holland?
Greets,
Ivan.
Ivan, you’re definitely eligible to win! Best of luck…
ONLY ONE WEEK AWAY UNTIL THE WINNER IS ANNOUNCED!
Just curious … ‘cus at one time I thought I could afford a EuroCave … how many shelves does it come with? I remember that you have to buy them separately.
I think this is the one: http://www.wineenthusiast.com/eurocave-premier-100-wine-cellar-(1-temp)-(black-solid-door).asp
“Includes: 1 Charcoal Filter, 1 Adjustable Shelves, and 1 Rolling Shelves (Accommodates up to 7 shelves)”
Includes 1 shelves! Well s - 1 fixed and 1 rolling. So, i guess if you actually want shelves, plural, you gotta buy them or do what they do in the image and stack the bottles on top of each other.
And the winner is ……….
….annndd the wiinnnerr isssssss!!! …
we’re just waiting for the lucky winners to sign the release forms and we’ll announce it on the site…
Hmmmm … I didn’t receive any forms … is there a mistake here?
Hey, how long does it take for these forms to get signed, perhaps they were lost in the mail on there way to me?
Ack! Let me check with our ‘legal department’…
And legal says …
Okay - we’re cleared!
The grand prize winner of the EuroCave is (drumroll…..) jkoyama from NY:

Congratulations, and if you want to friend them, get in line!
CONGRATULATIONS jkoyama! You won my Euro … err … a great prize!
OK, this is proving to be much slower than expected - sorry about that. I just contacted the runner’s up prize winners, and hopefully will be able to announce them here soon. Thanks for being patient
Again - I haven’t heard from you. You must be doing something wrong
Well…all is not lost! 3 of the 4 runners up claimed their $50 gift certificate, but one errant user actually reported my ‘congratulations on winning note’ as spam! After getting over my outburst of “OMG WTF” we decided to offer it back to someone here.
So….first person to say “me” on this thread, below, gets the prize.
me! oh… i can’t…
Oi - stay out of this! Usual rules apply…
A lot of people are on this thread - lets see who gets to it first
Whats up snoothlets? Seems like we cant give money away now…
ME!
ME!
ME!
Three times … just in case … I’m not trying to pad my post numbers.
sold! well done John
I dunno, Honda — Looks like a close one!
Ahem … Mark, read the contest rules fine print … YOU CAN’T WIN!
Oh MAN - today was my first day back at school and I can’t snooth with kids in the room, I missed it! HondaJohn- congrats. I’ll say me incase you too decide to send Philip to spam.
I never would have guessed how hard it is to give prizes away, but we’re finally getting there. Here are 3 of the 4 runners up (still waiting on an ok from the 4th to disclose their newfound $50 voucher prowess!):

This is the first time that I’ve crawled out of my spiderhole to check out this contest business. I didn’t know there was so much drama!
For some reason I’m not on the list.
