Wondering Where We Went?
May 5th, 2010 by New Wine Consumer in Future Topics, The Rest, Wine
I see by the sustained number of downloads that although there hasn’t been a recorded chat for 9 months, new people come and download the old ones. That indicates continued interest in the audio format about wine.
We tried for a long time to find a good match for a sponsor. The idea is not to get rich, but to get compensated for the many hours spent on organizing, doing, editing and publishing the conference recordings and keeping the site up to date. A sponsor with a theme such as a wine club or a group like ZAP (Zinfandel) could do amazing work with a periodic netcast about their wines.
If you have any interest in reaching the approximately 3,000 downloads per month that we are currently reaching, please get in touch.
Customer Perception in the world of Wine
December 7th, 2009 by New Wine Consumer in Future Topics, Wine
Wine is special: you open a bottle and it can’t be put back in stock like the gadgets at Best Buy. We want to talk about how you feel you’ve been treated by the people from whom you purchase wine. Should you ignore a bad bottle? How about several bad bottles? Is wine quality subjective or can you be certain when something is off?
I heard a story recently that makes my hair stand up: how can producers and stores be so ignorant about generating goodwill? How can they also not realize that in this day and age, we consumers talk a lot online and often peer comments are more important than the critic’s reviews.
Keep in touch if you have a story to tell from either side of the counter!
