WineWeb: Company Background

The WineWeb ® is a service of WineWeb Enterprises, Inc. We provide an electronic marketplace for wine and e-commerce and website services to wineries and wine merchants.

WineWeb History

The WineWeb began in 1995, primarily as an online directory of wineries. We provided a database-enabled website, a content management system, and e-commerce services before these terms had even been coined. As the use of technology has been adopted by more wineries, our services have expanded, and now include the ability for a winery or wine merchant to have their entire Internet presence served by the WineWeb.

The concept for what would become WineWeb was conceived as Ron Kreutzer, an information technology management consultant, was visiting a co-worker in Australia as Ron was returning from an overseas assignment. A budding wine enthusiast, Ron's trip to the Barossa Valley reinforced his interest in wine. Upon returning home and discovering that most of the wines he had tasted we not available in the U.S., he set out to find a way to use technology to inform others about the wines of the world.

Ron's 25+ year career in information technology has spanned numerous technologies across numerous industries. He has consulted with some of the country's largest companies and many smaller companies. This breadth and depth of experience provides him the expertise to direct WineWeb in an ever-changing technological and regulatory landscape. More on Ron.

WineWeb Philosophy and Values

WineWeb's goal is to provide technology solutions to wineries and wine merchants, in a cost-effective manner, to enable them to leverage that technology to grow their business. We understand that there are many wineries and merchants that don't have the time or resources to create technology solutions for their business. WineWeb provides services to allow the business to control their online marketing and sales activities, without having to understand the underlying technology.

Based on Ron's experience as a Senior Manager with one of the Big 8 (Big 6, Big 5, Big 4) management consulting firms and his management experience at a global IT firm, he brings a virtual, global workforce model to the company. Gone are the days when a company's workforce must live close by a building where they commute each day to a desk. WineWeb's workforce model allows it to hire the best resources, regardless of geography, and have them available when needed, instead of stuck in traffic. WineWeb believes this provides the best service for its clients, ensuring that the services are always functional and that each client receives a timely response to their questions.

WineWeb understands that providing quality, robust services, and providing exceptional customer service is a way of life. We won't tell you that we have the best services in this market space. We shouldn't have to (and would you believe us if we did?). Talk to our clients and listen to why they chose WineWeb and why they continue to be a client (we don't force them to stay with long-term contracts). You'll likely know some of our clients, and we're confident they'll be honest as we don't have anything in our agreement that restricts their free speech.

WineWeb believes in an open and honest approach to everything it does. Ask us a question and we'll give you a straight answer. If we can't do something, we'll tell you (and we'll work with you to see if we can enhance our services to make it work). We list the details of all our services online at services.wineweb.com, including pricing. Can you find someone to create a website cheaper? Probably. Can you find someone to provide our feature set at a cheaper price? Nope.
