With this partnership, Global Wine & Spirits (http://www.globalwinespirits.com) the world’s most extensive B2B marketplace for the wine industry is extending its members’ reach outside of the GWS business community, thus enabling producer members to publish and update key information for the benefit of hundreds of thousands of wine lovers worldwide who browse Snooth to review, discuss and purchase wine online.
“We are very pleased with this agreement. It is extremely beneficial for GWS producer members who can take control of their Internet image, as well as for wine lovers on Snooth, who will have access to winery certified information on thousands of varied wines from more than 50 countries worldwide”, commented Jean-Michel Stam, Vice-President, Sales & Operations for Global Wine & Spirits.
“We are most excited about this partnership with GWS. The wine data provided will add a rich level of detail to Snooth’s extensive database - from tasting notes to the winemaker’s technical data. GWS wineries are now exposed to Snooth’s large user base and we look forward to watching the wineries’ sales grow”, concluded Philip James, CEO of Snooth.
