Wine-Searcher is a vertical search engine enabling users to locate the price and availability of a given wine, whiskey, spirit or beer globally, and be directed to a business selling the alcoholic beverage.

Wine-Searcher also contains an encyclopedia, which covers grape varieties, product categories, producer profiles, vintage reports and wine regions.

Users can take a photo of a label to find out more about prices and availability, including nearby stores to current location.

The long-term storage of data allows Wine-Searcher to offer detailed reports and market analysis including current and historical trends.

The company was founded in 1998 by Martin Brown, a former e-commerce manager for London wine merchant Berry Bros & Rudd.
